Hi,
Welcome to the forum.
From what you've wrote, it sounds like you've bought a really nice original Capri, having all that documentation and history is a good indication that the car has been cherished by it's former owners.
It's good to hear that you are enjoying owning a Capri again, putting a smile on your face is a lot of what Capri ownership is about, in my opinion.

Andrew.

Thanks for your words Andrew.

Yes the car seems to have been well looked after by it's previous owners and that's what drew me to it.

Cheers Jasonmarie.

There's a few things that could do with sorting or need attending to but on the whole she seems an original solid car that I'm thrilled to custodian of.

Will look into those that you mention, much appreciated.

[andyd]

Looks very nice Nigel

Plenty of local car shows to attend if you like that sort of thing

We've always enjoyed going to Powderham, Killerton and the newer one at Darts Farm so we'll see.

Just managed to get the dash lights working and the exhaust sealed properly (new clamp).

Nige popped around in his Capri this morning for a coffee and a chat

A great car
