Personally I think I would prefer that to a Brookie, lovely colour. I had a MK3 Granada that colour many moons ago.

Stunning car. It looks nice and original, especially under the bonnet. It seems like a reasonable price for the condition of the car.

I wonder if the seller "wderacing" is anything to do with WDE Motorsport, who run Paul Rivett in the Clio Cup on the BTCC support package?
Seems a coincidence as they are both in Kent.

Possibly, I wasn't aware of that....

Hi Andy,
I was thinking aloud more than anything, but as long as the Capri hasn't been ranted around the track it should be just fine.

I think the colour will sell it.

Hopefully it was a good restoration with pictures as proof.....

Yeah, it is a nice colour.
Does the relatively high mileage (if it is 191K) affect it's value? Or would the good condition that it appears to be in, be what matters?

Hi,
The mileage is 109,000 not 191,000!
Obviously lower mileage cars in similar condition would fetch more money. For me, condition is more important than mileage.

Like this a lot, I know they're not original but I think the 280 wheels look great on it, may get a set eventually. Agree with the comments on its colour too, very nice.

This 2.8 injection Special was sold by Classic Car Auctions on December 3rd for £9900. Looks like a dealer has bought it and put £4095 on top. Not a bad profit if you can get it?

Oh yes, oops!

Hi,
The seller now has two more cars, one of which will be familiar to Ebay scam watchers, although I'm fairly sure that this is a genuine sale.
