Where are you located, or are you willing to post?

I agree, the price looks reasonable to me too.

Here's a story about another £75K Capri. I might get myself one of those "RS1300"s... :lol: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/buyer-forks-out-almost-75k-for-a-ford-capri-one-of-a-kind-1972-rs1300-model-described-as-the-holy-grail-sells-for-world-record-price-at-auction/ar-AAYHC5L?ocid=ms...

I will see if mine is there or missing. You can just make out the location of the pop stud in this photo: https://i.postimg.cc/HkTm6wv8/110-Interior-70-Centre-Console-Handbrake-Gaiter-and-Gearknob.jpg As long as your gaiter isn't torn there, you should be able to fit a replacement in the same place...

Hi Mark,
The one in my car has got a little pop stud fastener that closes up the opening. That secures it around a ridge on the edge of the handbrake hand grip.

Andrew.

I thought you could tell because the sunvisor with the vanity mirror would always be left down.

Andrew.

How much coolant are you loosing? On my 2.8, I was continually topping up to the top of the level indicator inside the degas tank. However, I found that if I left it, the level dropped to maybe 5-10mm below the max and then didn't ever drop any further. It seemed to be happy enough with that amount ...

I’m going to contact DVLA and see what documentation they will need because I’m hoping that if I can get everything in place, I should be able to get free road tax from January 2024. In your situation, I don't think you will need documentation as that only really applies if a car was built at least...

When this subject came up previously, I believe it was discovered that a car doesn't become eligible for free tax until the January after it's 40th anniversary. If your car was manufactured in '82 you can enjoy free tax from January 2023. However, I think the DVLA require more proof than Burton's we...

It looks even worse in those photos!

Andrew.

£1200 is quite reasonable for that !

Seriously though, I suppose if somebody has their own bodyshop and doesn't factor in their own labour costs, it would be worth restoring the Sierra.

It's quite an eye-opener as to what can happen if corrosion isn't attended to early on.

Andrew.

What a great day out, and that looks like a good place to hold a car show.
Those metal animals are fantastic, all the cars are amazing too!
Thanks for uploading the photos.

New guidelines published under the Laziness Act 2020 state you must provide a link to the thing you wish to discuss, in order to prevent undue wear and tear on fingers and keyboards. :lol: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165498768209?hash=item26887ecb51:g:HCsAAOSwK7Jimjh9 There's another £75K 2.8 for sa...

Are you talking about the bonnet and side stripes? It would be a heck of a job measuring all of those!

If you mean the bootlid decal, would it be the same "Capri 1.6" or "Capri 2.0" as on other models?

Andrew.

I think the heater bulb might be a T5 capless, although I'm not 100%

Sorry Mark, I can't remember off hand and there's no mention of that bulb in the Haynes manual. The clock ones are 1.2W, I would guess that the heater panel one would be the same?

Andrew.

Hi Can anyone tell me what the bulb type and wattage is for the ones behind the clock and the tiny one for the heater control. Thanks Hi Mark, These are the bulbs for the clock: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131326618952?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&am...

Have you been hacking into my webcam again?

I am the gardener, butler and probably the maid too...
