And while you're at it, how about pictures of the 'RS' Capris you have?
They're certainly a revelation to me! ;)

Hi,
I'm going to wade in here and offer my opinion. If someone offers an expensive service such as this, it would be nice if they at least provided a contact number. Sure, WBM can be contacted by PM, but if I was spending the thick end of £1K, I'd want to do business face to face or at least over the phone.
Andrew.

Hi there,
You just need a photobucket account (it's free and easy to set up, if you haven't already got one).
Instructions on posting photos can be found here:

All the best,

I was merely alluding to your ownership of two 'RS' Capris and the lack of information forthcoming regarding these, even after my previous post requesting more information.
No need to be so touchy!

Another daft response over the add and I shall not hesitate in cancelling my membership to the forum without delay!

So before you go do please tell us about the 2 RS capris you own as I would loved to hear/see them as I have not come across them before so would love to see a model I do not know.
but if I am to late see yer

Hi all,

I think I've found this chap on eBay he's selling a few bits
Heres the link http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/c.a.p.r.i?_tr ... 7675.l2559

I too was a bit suspect about his capri had a quick chat and he sent me two photos. A quick drag and drop into Google and they pop up on this blog

http://tuningpp.com/--autobild-de-klass ... 7898-html/

Could be legit. Not sure of the reg, is it German?

Regards Columbo

Hi Columbo,
The site looks German, but the red Zakspeed has Swiss plates. Which are the relevant photos you refer to? Do you think they were just copied from that site?
Andrew.

I don't know mate... I'm a little suspect. He claims his Capri is the red one (first 8 photos on that blog)

Also he must have two Capri's both red as his eBay site picture is of a pinto engine he also said is his.

If its legit, they are beautiful and would love to see them in the flesh

Hi Sam,
To summarise, he owns a rare car (only 3 in the country, I believe),which happens to be Swiss registered, and can only produce photos from a German website? No original photos of his own car or engine work that has been undertaken?
I think that most people will have reached the same conclusion as me.
Andrew.
