Hi Nick,
I agree that the new wheels make the car look so much better.

I'm afraid I still don't like it. The fact that they took a mint 2.8i and did that to it - yuk.

It's like taking the Mona Lisa and painting a moustache and a cock on it. :( :turd:

Personally Id prefer it with that running gear but more standard bodywork but I can appreciate the work that has gone into it. Those wheels do improve it

The Dr has also been selling many of his Capri parts on Facebook recently.

I asked him if he was just clearing out parts or jumping the Capri ship completely, to which he replied "A bit of both"!!

Yes it’s a age thing I am 50 this year and must say I would have the Capri if money was no object but 30k would get me a nice
TVR or RS2000 .

Cant disagree with any of that, at 52 I still have the ability to be as stupid as any kid :xd: :xd: :xd:

I do especially like the RS200 idea ;)
