Yes thats correct Allan. Bill did race the car again once he'd recovered, but MSNZ changed the rules at the end o the 1977 season, by outlawing all the big engined cars and introducing a 2 litre maximum engine size. So the Capri, like so many other cars, was suddenly worthless.

Some, such as PDL, Jack Nazer etc just mothballed their cars, but Bill elected to strip the Capri of its F5000 parts and traded the remains on a Bedford van.
