Re: ROKSTOCK Capri is back!

THank YOU~ Hi, Don't know about the history, but I found this, if it's of any interest to you? http://www.fordcapriforum.com/for...

Hi,
I suppose if somebody is undertaking a concours rebuild, then only genuine NOS will do.

Re: With Regret

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

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...

Les,
Cool, the four spokes on polished rims will look stunning against the blue paintwork.

How is the interior refurb coming along?

All the best,

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.

Re: White writing?

Hi JC,
It's not something I'd do on mine, but white lettering goes more with your look.
Providing all four tyres are the same make....otherwise it's a big no-no!

Re: RSFFE meet 14th June 2015

I'll have to check it out a bit closer next time. This must be a very rare car! Hi All, That's a new one on me as well. I certainly never knew that it existed, and there can't be many in this country. Perhaps that is the only one to be imported? I agree with the comments about yellow really suiting...

Hi There,
Try Martin at Caprigear. He might be able to supply enough material for a bolster repair.

Hi,
This place has 34mm tube (or box) spanners listed, but no price. Best give them a call to ascertain whether they are in stock or not.

Re: RSFFE meet 14th June 2015

Hi Neil,
What a fantastic meet, some really cool cars, especially the forum cars.

The mystery car is an K-1 Attack.

Weather looks like it was OK, too! :D

All the best,
Andrew.
