You are correct, I had a few of the 73-74 Capris with them. The Capri V6 with
an Ansa is about the only exhaust that rivals a TR6 in my auto history.

Re: [TR] Rostyle
And, just to add to the soup, Ford used Rostyle wheels on
things like Cortina GTs and (possibly) Cortina Lotuses. I have see them on
Lotus Cortinas, too, but I don't know if they were OEM.

style which apparently had no cousin in the MGB. They were used in the
round-arch days, I think. THESE were the ones said to resemble the Paddy
Hopkirk wheels. Maybe they themselves had something to do with Paddy Hopkirk
himself. I had these with my 1966 Midget, but I'm sure they came from a later
car.
