Tidy, Honest Ford Capri Wanted

[RadioInMyCapri]

okay so a 3.0 ghia dosnt do it how about a 1988 280 turbo?

Is that a Brooklands turbo? I'd be interested to know about it; an a relatively new enthusiast, so the more info about the car, the better! Cheers

[elliecharlie2008]

it is indeed low mileage

I have a strong suspicion it'll be outside of my budget, however if it's not, I'm very interested.

Could you tell me about the car?

Thanks

Is it a car, or a 3 bed semi

I like adverts like these, with lines such as...

Having been part of a private collection, we now feel that this car should be used and enjoyed.

Why would a dealer put rubbish like that in the ad, they're dealers, they sell cars, that's all they do, if they'd painted the walls white before they took the pics they could've put enough on the price to spend the time typing up a proper advert, if they wanted inspiration they could've looked at Fine and Country estate agents, they even do little rhymes for each house

Hi,
I wish sellers would stick to factual descriptions.

Hi,

Andrew.

Factual is good, but these days factual tends to be blurry, something between a legal contract, written by a team of solicitors, Ken Dodd's accountant, with a bit of Alice in Wonderland mixed in there for good measure, you can really tell the property investors are buying into the classics now the property market is a tad wonky when the dealers come up with "under offer" on an advert for a Capri

I'll believe it when I see the first car to be sold "subject to contract"!

Was it this one? http://www.angliacarauctions.co.uk/en/c ... rooklands/
Have seen it in the flesh as has Andrew, top car, top repaint too...
The owner told me he paid half that in July 2014....Good Investment

Andy

Back again http://www.angliacarauctions.co.uk/en/c ... rooklands/
Cant believe he hasn't sold this privately, not seen it advertised I would have taken £16k for it, if it sells for more at auction he will have to pay a % and may end up with less.

At £6300 with 8 hours left, reserve not met http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-CAPRI-2- ... SwHQ9WbEHi
Nice car but a long way away
Should make £8k plus easily IMO, probably reserved at £8k????

Thanks. It's in such good condition. 200 miles from me approx. I'm watching it and might see if any hauliers on Anyvan would transport it down for a fair price.

Hi,
It's hard to assess the condition of the car when there aren't any photos of the bodywork forward of the doors.
A bit of an oversight by the seller or maybe deliberate?

Good point.....Sounds genuine enough though

Edit;
Finished at £6300 Surprised at that...Probably be relisted with a buy it now
Some better exterior shots would help too.
