Re: Is it just me....

I’ve felt the same as everyone else, even considered selling my projects and calling it a day with cars! How long have we got to enjoy them anyway? Was reading an article by Quentin Wilson who asked, as the air got cleaner during lockdown will legislation stop our hobby altogether soon? He doesn’t t...

Re: 280 resto

The costs of doing this work is high, surely the body shop could have done some research, or checked with the owner where the decals are positioned?

Otherwise it’s looking great

Re: Any thoughts on the new Ford Capri idea

I don’t think it’s a bad looking car, but agree it should not be called a Mustang and hope ford don’t do this to the Capri. I received an email from Ford announcing this new car and went and explored it on their site. The let down is the dash...because it is not mustang, just an iPad! But the argume...

Re: Adjustable Car Ramps

Last Sunday at the NEC there was a nice yellow mk1 facelift, supported on a portable type ramp; where it is lifted up from the sills, and you change the angle at both ends...anyone see it?
Are they any good, I think they were £400 or so?

Sorry no pics!

Lovely but a headache for me to look after, I think this one would be enough and more importantly drive to enjoy

Re: Interesting.....

Was this the orange S that caused some controversy when it was for sale, back then?

I’d consider this instead

Re: Help! Take a look at the Capri timeline

The red injection looks too much like the special; I’d change the wheels and alter the injection stripe to the early version where the top coach line continues over the lettering.
Otherwise lovely poster!

3.7injection

Hi thought this looks like an interesting 2.8; reasonably priced, has anyone driven one of these 3.7 cologne conversions?

Re: New Car Show

Perhaps James May and Ed China could do their version; just the two of them...walk into a workshop find the car totally in bits and reassemble it.... They could give it away in a competition...text a number, or auction off and donate to charity! I’ll watch the Capri episode they both take the herita...
