This car is my absolute dream Capri. It's sex on wheels and to die for IMHO. Stuff your Brooklands etc.
You're a very lucky man to own it and have done an exquisite job in restoring it. When the better weather comes enjoy it and go win some trophies!

You don't realize how small older cars are compared with modern stuff
My Sierra isn't a small car, but looks lost next to the likes of the latest Astra. New cars have got so high and wide

Used to think the Capri was a big car in the 80's, looks tiny now
Tasla, your car is a fantastic example. The work you've done has brought this MK2 to the top of the tree. Fantastic, hope to see it next year. Enjoy

It's still gorgeos!
The only thing I would have done different is to paint the sills and number plate surrounds in satin black as per factory but I think it actually looks better as you have it.
