That's a great build. Love all the imaginative things that go into building a bike like this.

Welcome freewill,
Oom Johann66 is the man here for all things Opel, i'm sure he will be along to assist you shortly.

I think it's called a top loader as the access cover is on top where you 'load' the gears into.
As you say the four speed has the linkages on the left hand side.

Hi Samad, if it is a genuine V6 Perana it is a rare early Basil Green Capri. Basil Green put V6's in Capri's before Ford brought out their own version. The first 3 digits of the SIDO is the dealer code and could help verify the car as a Basil Green car.

Welcome Reilly, good luck with your build, as always we love pics here.

Welcome Marcel, sounds like an interesting and unusual project. Please post some pics for us.

Hi Johnathan and welcome. You have some great cars there.

Hi Samad welcome and great to see another Capri getting restored.Please post up some pics for us and good luck with the build.

That makes sense John, I didn't think of stolen/recovered.

Very sad news to hear this, Rassie was a gem and a gentleman.
He will be sorely missed by many and my condolences go out to the family and friends.
RIP Rassie.
