Capri Pedal Car

Post by Andrew 2.8i »

Capri pedal car on Ebay.
It'll be interesting to see how much it sells for, it's already been bid up to £726.

You reminded of this thread Andrew -

Good find, I see these cars (not a Capri one) at shows and they are always at a premium price.

Wouldn't it be great to have this one, if money was no object.

I'd love to own this, but I'm not sure I can justify spending over £700 on such a thing.

There are a couple of ways of looking at it .
Will it always be worth £700+ ?.....probly
Is there any way to easily add value ?......hell yes .
So its not like you'd be pissing the money away, if you finding yourself needing cash ,you may make money when /if you sell it, so why not
If the Mrs has hauled on the handbrake just buy it , she aint going to leave you over it ,you might be in the dog box for a while but she'll get over it and you will still have the toy......works for guns ( I collect enfields )and motorbikes too (not enfields ).......works the other way too so be careful 😉

That's one way of looking at it. I suspect that this pedal car might be a good long-term investment if that's important, I'm certain it wouldn't lose any money anyway.
Perhaps when the sale of petrol is banned, the price of the pedal car will skyrocket as it will be the only Capri that can still be propelled ! :lol:
