Capri Codes

T3Man you are partially right!
'B' is the code for Ford of Britain, whereas the 'C' code stands for Australia, as a Ford of Britain affiliate. We got the 'C' code here because the Capri was a CKD (Completely Knocked Down) kit, the kit being manufactured at Halewood in Liverpool, England and then imported into Australia, where the actual cars were assembled at 'K' which stands for Homebush, Ford Australia's assembly plant in NSW at the time.
And yes, you are right, Australia's code is 'J' but this is for cars manufactured and assembled in Australia from go to whoa, like the Falcon, Fairlane and Territory!
