Do they still exist?

Back in the 1980s I purchased two brand new Capris. The first was a Capri Calypso 1.6 reg MJH166X delivered during August 1981, colour scheme was Graphite Grey over Stratos Silver. This was a daily drive for the commute to London. I sold it privately in August 1983 and used to see it running around in the Thatcham and Newbury areas for a couple of years. The second was a 1.6 LS reg A46XJH finished in black purchased in August 1983. I traded this one in to Nias of Newbury during 1988. I used to see it running around in the Thatcham area and someone had fitted it with a set of chrome wheels. Both cars were supplied by the now defunct Horncastle Ford garage on the Bath Road in Reading. I wonder if either car has survived or if they have gone to the great recycling plant in the sky

Many thanks! I wonder if they are still around given last tax date of 2000. If anyone out there owns either car I still have the original purchase invoices for them
