Re: Can someone help identify this motor please ?

Hi mate looks like an S13 Nissan Sylvia but I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong.

Re: Service Book

I need to get out more. I know this from my XR and RS days. I have kept some back that are new, once the copy right is lifted I will get a load printed and knock them out at cost.

Re: Sierra Azura

I noticed it sold :applaud: Fell through in the end mate so I have decided to see about getting the arches done over winter. I have just bought it a nice new cover - will MOT it in January as I'm sure it will be fine. Then going to just get the very minor dents removed and detail the underside for ...

Re: Service Book

Correct those books changed in 1984 when the Mk2 XR2 Fiesta came out, they then transferred over to the ORION Mk2, Mk3 Granada '85MY Sierra and Mk4 Escort. I would assume later injection specials would have had this type of book too ? The earlier thinner one was indeed early XR stuff and probably 82...

Yeah I really enjoyed it. I like Fast N Loud as well but not usually my type of shows. How many Mustangs do they pull out the bag, shame the UK is not like that.

Re: Beadles About Capri

Forgot all about that show. Shame to wreck any of those cars but as said worthless back then. Probably by all of them at 30-50each at one time.

Re: New car show

I think that JPS looked stunning, I think u would have been gritting my teeth with some of its treatment. Funny, I remember when you couldn't give MK2's away but now I think they look better then even. Always good to see them in modern traffic, they look so small but I remember it as quite a big ca...

Re: Wheeler Dealers - Capri Worst Car!

I do know Ford are bringing out a 3dr couple banded about as the Evos that discussions are going ahead as to whether to call it Capri. Thankfully (as I wouldn't like a modern 'Capri' to appear), Ford do not seem intent in remanufacturing old car names as some others do. So, whilst we might (or migh...

Car SOS were going to do my car for the first series, misses nominated me Hi, That would have been an episode worth watching!

Re: Official Cosworth Capri

Hi mate, I also wondered where you had dissappeared to. Car looks great. You don't reckon that guy was talking about the RS3100 do you? They were limited to 250 and Cosworth did do some engines I think to 24v. I am sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: Wheeler Dealers - Capri Worst Car!

Car SOS were going to do my car for the first series, misses nominated me (I know now but didn't know at the time) problem is my car wasn't at home. They deliberated over it for some time, problem is misses could not answer some of the questions that I could but of course would give the game away. T...

Re: New Car Show...

I'd like to know who is buying these things. A few short years ago, who would even have thought that Capris would regularly be for sale for £25K + ? Andrew. Yes definitely it's crazy but if the market dictates it then that's it that's the market. I have two thoughts really as the Capri is a working...

Re: New Car Show...

Hi All, Another good episode last night. The programme featured more footage of classic Fords, this time the mark 1 Granada. It turns out that Jon Culshaw owns, or has owned, a Granada as well as his Cortina collection. Still enjoying this show, the cars & the celebrity anecdotes, all that is e...
