Re: Another Injection from the Dr.....

Very nice reminds me of one of the first injections I saw as a kid, that was a nearly new 5speed in cardinal red!

Back then I didn’t like the Carla trim but now really do has a lot of character!

The Monza trim still looks good though.

Re: Goblin Works Garage

I saw this Capri in the flesh at the NEC back in November and was impressed with the quality of the work but didn’t know the base car they used. Was disappointed when I saw the trailer! Going by the Land Rover episode I think they wanted to cause controversy by using a fine example, and ok, it’s the...

Re: Salvage Hunters Classic Cars

I like car programs but now starting to get a little fed up with them all. For me mike and Ed did the better shows with WD. A better show would be with Ed and fuzz from SOS doing their own thing! Getting back to this Salvage Hunters thing, can’t see this lasting....experts with an eye for detail and...

Re: £30K 3.0S

I’ll keep a look out for it as he lives in the next town from me.
I remember seeing his restored Tickford parked at my local Tesco’s not long after it was finished, and last year at the garden centre; thought it was crazy but admire it as well, enjoy while you can!

Re: How many can you get?

48/49; if there was no multi choice answers then it would have been much much lower!
The Capri is still a good looking car amongst those

Re: I found this today

Have a feeling that Capri belongs to Ford in their heritage collection; the last 280 D194 UVW.

Re: Christmas Presents.

I got the new book on factory original Capri mk1! I saw that advertised in the club magazine and am tempted to buy it. Have you had a chance to flick through it yet, and does it look any good? Andrew. Yes had a quick look and I like it, great examples featured, my favourite so far is the late great...

Re: help for a modeller

If you’re going to have a go making decals I think a laser jet printer is said to be better. I’ve only seen one laser 1 18 modified Capri using the Norev model as the base, and the Norev is the most popular, as they’re diecast , but Minichamps do the 1 18 resin mk3 so maybe they’ll start using them....

Re: £30K 3.0S

Great example shame it's so out of reach but too good for me to look after! I’d really like a 3.0 so think these alternatives could be enjoyed for less I’m surprised to see this mk2 Ghia is still for sale http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C918779 This mk2 S also http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C...

Re: First ever Top Gear

I looked up the registration a while back and I think her Capri survived until around 1991.
Wonder how it ended up?

She already did 12k miles from January to April 77 when that episode was filmed!

Re: Tickford Capri

I like all capris and also think they look fine as they are, but still like the Tickford. Tickford wasted time in some aspects of the model such as retrimming the a-pillar trim in leather, when they were already leather look plastic! The blanked off grille looked good but the bottom grill wasn’t eno...

The 280 on eBay appeared in TopGear when they talked about the end of Capri production - about 28mins in....thought I recognised it, one of the press cars!
