Re: My Capri

Concours is a very touchy subject but it’s something that really piques my interest ( just the ocd in me)and I have seen some fabulous cars over the years, but it’s something I will never do again and I’m very happy just having it for my own enjoyment, although I always keep my cars to concours stan...

Re: My Capri

Hi Thank you for the kind comments Capri is going nowhere after thinking about it, Other cars are being looked after exactly the same as the Capri..... although between you and me the Capri will always be my favorite, as I said before it’s a lovely feeling to walk into the garage with a glass of win...

Re: My Capri

Ha! Definitely not an MP.
Capri was 10,500 when I brought it and back then you could buy a 3 bed house for 23,500
Aston was £ 180,000 so again half price of a house relatively speaking
Capri is insured for £50,000 at this time.

Re: My Capri

I remember that well, I had come to a crossroads with the car..... sell it or keep it spoke to a couple of companies about selling it.... then thought when it’s gone I can’t get it back so looks like it will be staying for a few more years yet... though I won’t be showing it any more as I’m done wit...

Re: My Capri

You’re so right about the cleaning and as mine never goes out if rain is coming or even roads are damp it never seems to get dusty. Most exposure to bits comes when getting one of my other cars out of the garage, could cover them but I like to see them when walking into the garage

Re: My Capri

I tend to use a mixture of polishes
Autoglm silicon/extra gloss, meguires or poorboys
I find to give a lovely depth to the paint, I also only use the polishing clothes once then downgrade them to my daily cars so as not to scratch the paint.

Re: My Capri

Hi Thanks for the nice replies As for the cleaning of the car due to the conditions it’s kept in I have only ever wiped it over with a damp microfiber cloth before polishing the car, The car is still on its original tyres and brakes. I did fit a s/s exhaust made to the exact spec of the ford One 33 ...
