Hello guys,
Few years back i sold my cortina 1972 2 door. Miss it dearly ive had a few cars since (im only 21) recently built a fast Volvo 940, which i sold as soon as an offer was made and i think its time I got something i can keep and admire.
Always liked Capris and if im honest im after a Laser as an entry level starting point and mostly bwcause they are the cheapest so it seems. I would prefer something that needs abit of work but with MOT! Im from East anglia too, so keep that in mind!
Been on a few Ford forums and you guys always seem to be the most helpful so thanks in advance .

Re: Capri wanted
Hi... I just so happens that I have discussed with our son to move his Capri on....
We brought it 2 years ago, from a guy in Scotland, who basically stripped it down, rebuilt it/re-sprayed.
At the time, we paid £2600.. which for the car and condition it was good...
Its been through 2 MOT's and just passed another 2 weeks ago... with flying colors..
Unfortunately, my son has neglected the car... so before it gets to a complete wreck!!... I have talked him into selling it on...
I can provide photos of what if looked like 2years ago when we brought it... and photos of what it looks like now...
To be honest... it's just the paintwork that lets it down....someone who know what they are doing with a machine mop, will probably do wonders with it
Let me know....
