    Capri RS 3100 Introduction

    September 1973 FAVO received approval to build the second RS Capri, the Capri RS 3100 was to be built at Halewood. A total of 250 cars were built there during November 1973. These cars featured many of the parts used on the last RS2600.

    The RS3100 also featured a unique Ducktail rear spoiler, a part that was desperately needed for motorsport and made a distinct improvement to stability at high speed.
