Joking aside might be worth editing the address out though people with no morals may get ideas if the cars still live there

Re: Rare Capri Model Spotted on Streetview.
Good point, and one I took into consideration when I posted the photo. However, I didn't bother editing the address as the street view images were captured in 2011 and both Capris have long since gone.fordperv wrote:Joking aside might be worth editing the address out though people with no morals may get ideas if the cars still live there

Re: Rare Capri Model Spotted on Streetview.
Well spotted can’t say I even noticed a address but some of the street views are well out of date . As they still have my mother in laws knickers on the line in her street shot and it looks like a very large tent from Space .

Re: Rare Capri Model Spotted on Streetview.
This is actually a very rare prototype based on the Tyrrell P34 Formula one car back in the 70's

Re: Rare Capri Model Spotted on Streetview.
Ford were trying everything to cure the supposedly wayward handling. Some say they even offered a lump of concrete to fit in the spare wheel well as an optional extra....timfromull wrote:This is actually a very rare prototype based on the Tyrrell P34 Formula one car back in the 70's

Re: Rare Capri Model Spotted on Streetview.
Apparently each set of front wheels had its own steering wheel too. It did make it a bit difficult to drive but back in the day people were tougher and of course it encouraged people to car share so qualified for a reduction on road tax.

That would be a good car for driving instruction.One steering wheel for the learner and one for the instructor....Not_Anumber wrote:Apparently each set of front wheels had its own steering wheel too.
