Thanks mate, much appreciated :) Apparently (according to the last owner anyway who has the car for 12 years) they were dealer fitted yes, and I think they are more driving lamps rather than fogs as they come on with the main beams so no extra switch inside.

hi thats a gorgeous 2.8i you,ve got there a real mint example what a great find. i love the non special 2.8i's with the pepper pots rather than the 7 spokes. you will have to bring it to our annual meet called CRAP (capri rally and party weekend) :D

Many thanks for your kind words Dan, much appreciated :) Have to agree that for me my fav Capri is a pre Special Injection. Will always have a soft spot for Lasers though as my first Capri was a Black D reg 2.0 Laser.

Have to confess I hadn't previously heard of CRAP but have just read about it on here - sounds like a fun weekend!

Roasting today so the Injector was filling the air with nice V6 tones. Passed a Signal Amber MK2 Mexico coming the other way, we exchanged a grin and thumbs up out the window :)

Hello,

I am new on here just having a nosey around, I have seen this car locally a few times recently I am also from Fife area.

I seen the car at the Errol and Lathalmond Classic Car shows too :)

I have had my Capri in storage for a long time at the moment work is being carried out for it to be MOT'd again.

Jimmy
