Great looking car, seeing ones as good as this makes me glad I bought mine. Great colour & condition. Can't beat a straight good looking capri as ford intended.
Enjoy,

Chees , Rob.

Hi,
I wish you hadn't wrote that, as you're making me want a Janspeed more than ever now......

Seriously though, you've made an excellent choice of exhaust, I can't wait to see some photos of it on your car.

All the best,
Andrew.
