Best-known Perana and the only V8 Capri officially approved as a Ford product. Ford Port Elizabeth built specially prepared engine-less cars, which Basil Green Motors completed with revised steering, suspension and driveline. The advertised late R Pack is not counted because no evidence confirms production.

How this is measured → This record contains useful sourced evidence, but it does not yet meet the reference-ready standard. Still needed: attributed imagery. Fields we cannot source stay empty rather than guessed.
Research notes
Current register research establishes no more than 400 road cars, replacing older 500–550 estimates.
