Ok, as already stated, the 1600GT sticker on the rocker cover would have been fitted after purchase. The 711M6015BA is just the Ford part number for the engine block, all XLs had the 711M block fitted. When the 1969 1600GT finished production in January, 1970, it was replaced by the 1600XL model, that used all of the old 1600GT equipment, including the 6 clock instrument cluster or dash. Rostyles wheels were an option on all Capri's and as for purple seat belts, well they are an aftermarket purchase, certainly not a standard item.

Ring Ford on 13FORD and give them your Chassis/Serial number, CK30MK30525A, taken from your LFJ916 rego sticker that you posted elsewhere in this forum and they should be able to send to you a detailed page of your Capri's specs when it was built, with the options fitted when assembled.

The only real unusual thing about your Capri is the roof paint colour of Ultra White.
