I think the Capital may very well have been the rarest Mk2 special edition as it was only sold in the London area...
When I lived in Shepperton an old boy had one in the light lilac colour and it was just cracking! It didn't have much on it (Popular Plus in disguise!) and I remember it having a bold black stripe running along the bottom of it with 'CAPITAL' on the rear quarter...
That was still running about 10-12 years ago but I imagine it's no longer with us!
Sorry about the slight thread deviation...!!!!
Let's hope this Linnet gets rescued...

The one I know has the white paint with two-tone brown stripes and a golden brown interior. If I can get the owner's permission, I'll take some pictures.

Ah like the press car used in the promotional leaflet - Diamond White, brown/orange stripes and Tan interior, if the owner lets you would love to see some pictures.

They had the RS2000 broadstripe on them with Capital on the rear quarters and bootlid, either in the Lilac colour like you say or a lipstick red.

Right all people who sent me their names and contact numbers as asked for, your details have been passed to the owner today so expect a call from her or her son soon. Price keeps popping up and I said it should be worth £ 500 or £ 600 as it is by what I can gather from price guides I can find

I'm still waiting to see my neighbour to ask about pictures of their car. In the mean time, I saw one without an engine sell on Ebay recently for £1300ish.

I think he was making reference to the possibility that it may have been viewed/bought by now by one of those who had details passed on by you.
