Capri Laser.....further pics

Post by AndyPandy56 »

ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageThe main photo's were taken in 2011, and the engine pictures in June 2015 after several hours work cleaning the engine bay, and refurbishing the manifold and heat shield. I have owned her from new (Aug 1985) and at the time of writing, she has covered just under 248,000 miles. She is now in better nick than the owner.... :lol: Hope you all approve ?! ;)

Hope we approve ? That's a stunner mate :) must be fantastic to have owned this from new & put every one of those miles on it. It looks excellent, a really well kept Capri.
Cheers,
Rob

Hi Andy,
I agree with Rob's opinion. Looking at the photos you'd swear it was a sub 50,000 miler. It's a credit to you.

All the best,
Andrew.

Many thanks for all your kind words chaps.
It has indeed been a real pleasure to have owned her for all these years, although not without the odd worry, hiccup and concern along the way !. I believe the saying is 'maintained regardless of cost' !.
I must admit that even after all these years, it still makes me smile when I see people looking at her, and I always carry my Capri 'Anorak' in the boot just in case the admirers want to talk 'shop' !. :lol:

Yes it's true, and being the 'saddo' that I am (or is it OCD ?!) I have every invoice from the last 30 years to prove it. :)
