It was either 2.73:1 **OR** 3.08:1.  2.73 was the standard equipment.
3.08:1  was a NO CHARGE OPTION for the 1985 V-8 Capri.  The
ascMcLaren Sales Build Code of D83 was suppossed to inslude the No
Charge Option of the 3.08:1 - - but I have come across a few units
with the 2.73:1 in them.  No, not all of them were early (beginning
of run) cars.  Some were, others were not.  Who, What, Why or Where
reamins a mystery.  MOST are 3.08:1 - but not 100%
