1983 Ford Capri 2.0S “Dee”
1983 Ford Capri 2.0S “Dee”
About time I finally posted!
But after Brooklands this is the forum to be on!
“Dee” was offered to me back in November 2016 when, the previous owner actually posted his number saying he had a Capri for sale after seeing my then blue laser on the drive.
Obviously I couldn’t turn it down, and the sum of £1500 was paid. It’s taken 3 years to get Dee where she is now, having gone through quite a transformation. Being painted April 2019 and refitted and being MOT’d May 4 days after the Mot we drove her to Speyer for the 50th celebrations.. clearly I’ve been watching too much roadkill

Very nice 2.0S, nice buy there & a great job too. Welcome to the forum.
Re: 1983 Ford Capri 2.0S “Dee”
Welcome Mark. I'm fairly new here myself but it seems a nice place to be.
Nice car. You've obviously put in a lot of work to get her into the condition she's in today. Congratulations on getting to Speyer.
