Was wondering after reading the thread on the Euro sting what happened to Liam Churchills first capri fc(the mk1 capri)Could Carly Churchill maybe help us again?

According to the write up on the Euro Sting in Custom Car Liam used the original Sting chassis but modified the front end by putting the fuel tank in front of the axle.I thought the original Capri body might have been used by Walt Ithell,as Nick pointed out in the Walt Ithell thread he used a Capri body on the original Stratton-Shaver chassis,but not sure if this was Liams original body as Liam still had the Capri body in 75 as Nick also pointed out in the Euro Sting thread,but the engine in the Ithell car looks like the Houndog 354 with Hilborn injection that Liam used in the original Sting

A pile of mine told me he was over at Geoff Owen's fabrication shop (mid-nineties time) and he spotted a Capri FC body on the site .. Maybe Fester will know more?
