Martin,
You paint a bleak picture of the future with regards to spares availability.
I'm starting to worry.

Re: Brand New Fuel Senders
Hi, That's good news. Do we know if these fuel senders are available for all fitments? Even though I don't need a sender (at the moment) I'm tempted to buy one, as we don't know what quantities they will be produced in. If few people buy one, a second batch won't be comissioned. After all, the selle...

I think Dave has a point. However nice your old Capri is, I'm not sure it's worth the asking price.
Is it the highest asking price yet for a 2.8i?

Re: 10/40 Oil Recommendation
I always thought it must be mineral oil do you know if thats the case? Cheers Alex Hi Alex, Using synthetic or semi synthetic oil shouldn't do the engine any harm if it's in fine fettle. However, these oils contain detergents which may cause blockages if the engine has been run on mineral oil. I ha...

I believe that Castrol have discontinued Valvemaster. However, Valvemaster+ is still available.

Re: Anyone fancy this
Hi Dave,
I would love to own that!
I suppose it's an opportunity to buy a little bit of motor racing history.

An advert from the days when you could refer to top speed and show imagines of fast driving.
Nowadays the adverts are all about showing lifestyles.

Re: With Regret
Hi Andy, Thanks for posting the advert for us to see. the market is on the way up? I think it's fair to say that the dealer thinks that the classic car market is flourishing. I must admit, it's being advertised for more than I thought it would! The dealer must be getting lazy, aren't they the same p...

Re: wanted Capri 2.8 i
Hi All, Sorry to hear that you've been messed about, Cliff. I think you're right not to view the car on principle. As has been said above, the seller should have done his research before posting the for sale advert. They've probably looked at other adverts and decided it was priced too cheaply. Howe...

Cool, the four spokes on polished rims will look stunning against the blue paintwork.
How is the interior refurb coming along?

Hi Les,
Lovely car, it doesn't look like an ugly duckling to me!
Are you keeping those wheels on the car?
Only somebody is selling a set of Ghia wheels on the parts for sale page.
