I think I've seen it before in the CCi mag, possibly photographed at one of their shows.

Jeepers Andy for a min there I thought you said she doesn't do "forsums" :shock: :lol:

Wasn't there a girl on here who was/is in the armed forces that had a Capri. Cant remember her name ?

There's been a handful - Clare, Daisy, Cherry, a girl who came to camp one year from Southampton way. One who was converting a Capri to diesel (!)many years ago - forget her name as well, a hairdresser who had a nice white laser. A couple of girls turned up briefly at camp in a black capri one time, I think Dan knew them from facebook. Not many lasses seem to post on here. I think Glyn used to put them off by his less than subtle leering :lol:

I don't know the car personally, but I have seen it around:

1st place in the Mk2 Concours, CCI National 2017:

As you can imagine, it is in superb condition.

So it was for sale last year then? Presumably no takers.

And as mentioned in another thread the nearside 'S' is left of the 3.0 badge on the wing.

Hi Peter,
I can't make out all of the for sale advert on the screen, but it appears to be for a Focus RS, not the Capri.
That figures, if I owned the Mk2 in the photo I wouldn't want to sell it either!
