Re: Ford capri gxl 3000
Hi there
Another vote from me. I like the colour and think it suits the car. And if that's how it rolled off the line, it's how it's meant to be!
I'd like to see more photos of your car.
Cheers
Mike

Re: Ford capri gxl 3000
I'm curious as to why it does not have a vinyl roof. Were all gxls released from factory with vinyl roof ?

Hi,
From what the fellow was saying on the documentary (although I know the car is a few years older by now), you'd be hard pushed to find a better example of a GXL. It's obviously been cherished from the moment it left the factory. The plate sets it off nicely, and is the icing on the cake!

I don't know about that, but it looks better without one, in my opinion.

Re: Ford capri gxl 3000
Given the colour I'd say it's better without the vinyl roof.
Picked her up yesterday! Deal was done months ago but had to get the $£€ together.
I'm trying to upload a video .... taking ages!

Looks great Pride of place in the garage now then
To find a 43 year old car with sub 40k miles on it is great, despite any little flaws it might have

What a stunning car. Love the colour, my uncle had an Onyx green MK3 Cortina when I was a kid and have always liked it. Looks good with or without vinyl roof.

Re: Ford capri gxl 3000
Lovely car, I remember seeing it in the flesh back in 2003 at a CCI show, still looks as good!
What's it like to drive?

Congrats on the purchase - it's a very clean car. Echoing everyone else in that I love the colour.
Good egg.
