Re: Tidy, Honest Ford Capri Wanted

Hi, Very nice indeed. I do think that red is one of those colours that really suits the Capri. The interior looks in very good condition as well. Personally, I think it needs the pepperpots put back on, but you may have a different view. From what you have said in previous posts, I think you've mad...

Re: Tidy, Honest Ford Capri Wanted

Evening All Please see some pics :) Nice one, so what's the plan for Steve....? Des Thanks. To start with, Steve's going to go over her in detail and see what needs attention, and depending on how much the various bits will cost, i'll see what I can afford to get done. I'd like a good quality re-pa...

Re: Tidy, Honest Ford Capri Wanted

Hi All Exciting news! I've just put a deposit down on a 1982 2.8 injection. It needs restoration, and Steve will be helping to get her to a level she deserves. This is a great community and I'd like to thank all of you who have and who continue to help me on my way to Capri ownership. I'll keep you...

Re: Tidy, Honest Ford Capri Wanted

Hi, Are you based anywhere near Norfolk? This one looks like a very good car. One to buy and keep long term, maybe? http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C694376 Andrew. Hi thank you for your advice in the previous post. I live just outside Manchester, but I have been trying to work out whether I can ...

Re: Tidy, Honest Ford Capri Wanted

Hi, How about this one? Judging by the photos, it looks like it's from a Capri-loving home! http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C693035 Andrew. Thanks-I did see this ad, looks a nice car...could I ask your thoughts on the uncertain mileage? I presume it would be more expensive if mileage/not history...

Hi,
Only by uploading the photos to a hosting site, such as Flickr, first.

Andrew.

I think it'll have to be once I'm back.

It's Christmas morning in Japan! Merry Christmas everyone :)

Re: Tidy, Honest Ford Capri Wanted

Thank you All very much Just heard back from the seller and unsurprisingly the top of my budget is too far away for him. It was nice to have had the hope, albeit for a short while. I agree about the Vinyl roof, but it seems I do to have the budget to be a 'chooser'! I have also found this one online...

Re: Tidy, Honest Ford Capri Wanted

Thanks everyone!

So, after he asked me to make an offer I emailed him reminding him of my budget. No word yet :/

As it's the season of festivities I'm going to hope he's feeling generous and playing with his calculator to make it work, ha!

Re: Tidy, Honest Ford Capri Wanted

The vinyl roof is a bit unusual, I believe they stopped factory fitting them in 1980, so that would've been either a supplying dealer fit, or fitted later, despite what the seller is saying, which could make the car a bit "marmite", but personally I like it. It's always hard to tell from ...

Re: Tidy, Honest Ford Capri Wanted

Hi All I've been in dialogue with the garage selling this Capri for a couple of weeks. They know my budget (8-10K) and have asked me to make an offer! I'm not sure whether there's realistically a deal to be had for me here, however you never know. It would be helpful to know what peeps think of the ...

Beware Scam - Fake Ad

Hi All I don't know if this is the correct place to post this, but I figured it may save someone from making an expensive mistake.... Some of you will know I'm looking for a Capri :) I came across this advert last night http://www.useddudley.co.uk/classified-ad/1987-Ford-Capri-28i_24386549.lite?tren...
