I am impressed that 2.8 owners can read
I wonder in 100 years time the old Capri jokes will still be around

Re: Interesting.....
It does make you wonder who buys these cars... It looks like a very nice example, but how could you not know the lights are on upside down? Let alone the fact that it's obviously not a late Mk2 when it looks completely different to the year before

Bloody hell, I can understand if someone can't read, but how can you not know how to look at a picture?

Tom, as a blind man I find this very offensive

Re: Interesting.....
The early mark 3 Capris were still being registered as "Capri II", and that's probably where the seller has become confused.

Re: Interesting.....
Yes I just spotted that , only done 1000 miles , I bought my first house in 1989 for 44k and would have never thought a Capri would sell for that .
Now I wonder if in say 3 years that car will sell for over the 100k Mark . As the way classic cars are selling I can see this .

Actually 942 miles JM It sold at auction a few years ago for 54k on 936 miles, doubt it will ever reach 1000Jasonmarie wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 2:22 pmYes I just spotted that , only done 1000 miles , I bought my first house in 1989 for 44k and would have never thought a Capri would sell for that .

If it does sell it is basically an ornament, any miles it will depreciate so may as well buy a 1:18 scale to look at alot cheaper Mad money but it might pave the way for other low mile Capris.
