Me too Jason !! I was 15 in 1984 and wanted to always own a Mk3 as I just loved the look. I too had a dream. Checked one out after passing my driving test. It was £995 but the insurance was too high and my parents thought it might have been too sporty for me so I settled on a Mk 2 1.3 Ford Escort. But my heart was always longing to own a Mk3 Capri. Now I am on my second one but B112 is a deffo keeper for sure

Hi Nick,
Great find!
In the early 80s after the 2.8 was released, I had a T-shirt with a 2.8 printed on it. It was a blue one with pepperpots. I remember thinking "One day.....". That day took a while, but I'm in the club now!

Funny how we all thought i also wanted a mk3 but the insurance was to much so I had a mk1 Escort 1.3 XL I bought her for £450 and went to the AA in maidstone for my car insurance what I think was £200 fully comp what was loads of money then .

The Daily Express did a heap of similar half page adverts for the laser around the mid 80s which I have stashed somewhere. Wish I could find them !
