I have, today, collected on the trailer my first ever Capri. I am a blue oval man through and through and owned quite a lot of old Fords, mainly Escorts from your standard 1.3l Mk3's to a couple of Escort Cosworth's, Sapphire Cosworths etc etc.
I recently sold a lovely very original Mk3 Escort S1 Turbo due to an impending house move, I need to have an old banger in my life though, other than the wife, so turned my attention to a Ford I have always liked from afar. Not quite a guilty pleasure, but a car I have never thought I'd own. A Capri.
Had to be a 2.8i. No other capri would do. No disrespect to others as I like them all, I just wanted to own a 2.8i, it's that simple
After looking at a few and trawling through lots of advertisements I came across a ''99%'' finished black 5 speed pre special on ebay. It was on for bids, but after a agreeing a deal with the owner I went to see the car and was happy with it and left a deposit. 2 weeks later she is in my garage
It needs recommissioning and most of trim refitting basically. Atleast I hope that's all lol. First thing is to check the health of the engine and go from there. Its a runner, although very lumpy. Quite familier with the Kjet on these so hope to have it running smooth with no problems, then Ill finish the cosmetics.
I'll add some pics tomorrow
