That could affect the bidding quite a bit.....

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that one is 11/10 on looks. I'd be proud to own it but at the right price as you say. What you say about most of the others is also spot on - originality could be said to end at the first service when NGK plugs, a Fram air filter and Coopers oil filter were fitted.Cockneyreject wrote:Hi all re orange 3.0s.
Ok I have viewed car,as most have stated it is a resell,that's clear.
The doors however are not mismatched,passenger side has been delocked that's all.
Nearly all the other points,Boot light,opening rear quarters,seatbelt mounts,I feel are quite trivial,admittedly it is not a genuine 3.0s(except it is on v5).so how much does this actually matter,OK,from my point of view and that's all it is,not much,so many capris are hybrids these days,how many 3.0s have gearbox,suspension from 2.8s,or brakes from volvos/princesses.cosworth engines,etc
,the only niggle I suppose is the transfer of the vin,but this was done quite commonly years back,
and the suspension strengthening?
Original overengineering?? I know of v8 comversions on non v6 shells that never had that done to no adverse effect.ideally yes I would rather a mint straight car,but on viewing said orange one is a peach( not quite as it seems ha,unintentional gag that)
And personally I like it,tho not at that price,
I'm not wanting to cause offence to people who have far more knowledge than me in these matters.but isn't it better to have another one back on the road and loved.
