it doesn't run yet but I think all it needs is a new ignition coil as everything else seems fine which im going to try and do

the interior is good the carpet has some marks on it but the seats are fine

and the body work needs a respray but the rust is not to bad it only appears to be surface rust

Hi can't help with the price estimate, sorry. Although I love the thought of just finding a car in the garden!

The rear wheelarch looks a bit rusty, probably coming from the inside which is not a good sign. The most important thing is the underbody, inner wings, A posts, rear spring mounts. Without knowing the condition of these key areas, it`s difficult to value. Good luck anyway!

im in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire

the car has been sat there for 8 yrs but was well covered up

I have look underneath and it doesn't look bad at all, there is no rust round the top of the suspensions struts or on the leaf springs which I am surprised about as its been sat the for so long

I don't have the title yet but I don't think there will be a issue getting it

This car needs the RIGHT treatment to turn it into a proper weapon. I just hope a complete tool doesn't buy it. This car deserves someone that knows how to screw together a decent fast ford.

Fair play to the guy selling. Most dickheads that buy a house with an old Capri in the garden would send it to the scrappy.
