Absolutely no chance of that ..

Hope so Andrew, but then I seem to recall saying that last year

Just a quick update, I've added a few pictures (above), to show some progress is actually being made, must be the most long winded body repairs this year :) . Capri is getting close now to getting a final detailed rub down & initial coat of primer to check for any imperfections, then on with the...

Nice Car and good choice of Wheel

Not bad for a week's worth of preparation! Obviously that's how the dealer can afford the fabulous house that the cars are always photographed in front of!

Andrew.

Definitely in the wrong job

Just noticed the Orange 3.0S & the green 1.6S sold at this auction are now for sale at the same dealer (BSC in Oxfordshire) for a substantial mark up. Where have we seen that before :D If the auction sale price was what the public valued them at, why do dealers think that they're worth thousands...

Hard as nails. Stunning colour & like that gear knob, want one of those , great conversion.

it's always a treat to see a Capri out and about. Great looking mk2, like the vinyl roof (&the seat covers ;) ), as Mike said, you don't see them on the road. My wife went to a DIY store this week & surprised me by texting me a picture of this mk1 parked outside. Amazing to see one this unm...

Next you will be wanting to wear one of these as the nights are starting to draw in and get a tad chilly

Isn't that Arthur Daley's old coat Nick

Thanks for the link Andy. Some great Capris for sale here. It's amazing that the buying public valued the x-pack replica to be higher than the genuine 3.0S. They both look stunning cars, it shows what a quality conversion and good looks can do for a sale price.

Still 2 days to go....

This is obviously the way to go to increase value, painting mine like starsky & hutch with wolf race wheels, anyone got a magnetic blue light ?

This looks so good it could be a set of press photographs when Ford first launched the Capri. Rostyle wheels really suit a Mk1, you've done an excellent job on this car, nice one.

Want this car !

Love this car, you can see the effort put into it, it looks good in black & what a difference the later style alloys make to the overall look. Nice one, a great looking car, enjoy.

Re; St Fagans E444TYA nice looking car,was it with the XROC? That's Radiant Red mines Rosso Red being a early Mk4 Car. Wasn't parked by the club so assume it wasn't with them, looked good though and I like the eighties grey interior, which again was in good shape. Owned a Mk4 Orion Ghia for a while...

Must have been sleeping, didn't realise you'd bought a new car. Great looker Andy, what a find with that mileage, fancied one that looked just like it in my St Fagans post. Thought you didn't have any more room in your bedroom for anything else
Enjoy it mate, looks a nice one.
Cheers,
Rob

Just checked shift, i'm OK for next month so all being well we'll see you there, it's definitely one of the best.

Hi Nick, seeing all those Capris in a show would have made it for me, all the other cars would have been a bonus :D Weather was stunning too, brings out all the best cars. That x pack capri looked moody in dark green, wouldn't mind owning that along with that brown mk3 cortina. Not colours I would n...

What a great meet Andrew, glad you posted these, must have taken ages ! Couldn't make this one ( working weekend shift), looked like a great day, some fantastic cars there. That wide arched BMW was in primer last time I saw it, looks amazing in orange. The yellow mk1 capri looks really smart, really...

Some great Capris in the NI club, they all look very well presented. Have to agree with Andrew on a previous post on how good orange looks on an S Capri, that first one looks really vivid. Yours & the one in white look superb as well. A great set of Capri pictures, cheers for posting.
Rob.

Don't like the wheels and must be like all old fords comes with an oil leak unless there is another reason for the hardboard under the front of the car?? I agree, got a thing for this colour but polished 4 spoke RS's would suit much better. Good looking car though, wonder if the hardboard comes wit...
