Simon,
Thanks for posting photos of the Zakspeed Capri. Glorious! It's in the same condition now as it was nearly 27 years ago. In fact it's probably in better condition than when it was new!
I hope you don't mind, but I've posted them here to make it easy for others to view them.
Andrew.

hi Andrew ive been trying for the last 3 hrs to get them photos on here thanks for sorting it out did all of them photos come through I think there was around 100 photos
Hi Simon,
Glad to help!
If anyone wants to view the rest of your photos from the show, they can click on the Zakspeed photo I have posted and they will be directed to photobucket and can see the photos there. I can post them all on here if you want, but it's probably better to do it in a new thread.
I love your gold 3.0 Ghia, it looks absolutely immaculate. Hope to see it around at a show this year.
All the best,
Andrew.
Simon,
The easiest way to post photos is to view them in photobucket and click on the IMG tab on the right. When you're composing a post on this forum, just right click on the mouse and paste the web address into your post. Don't bother with the IMG jobbie in the forum. It's easier to have two tabs open (one for photobucket and one for the forum) then quickly switch between the two to add lots of photos.
Hope this helps,
Andrew.
ok thanks can you see all the capris that I used to own from 1987 to 1997 as well and thanks for getting them on for me I kept going on my photobucket and on the img on capri forum but when I had clicked on paste they must have done it but when I wanted to open them up on the forum it wouldn't open even though it said photobucket there must be a easier way I just struggle to do any photos on here.

Hi Simon,
Yes, there are photos of the Capris you used to own on there. Tell you what, I'll paste them into your "Ford Capris I have owned" thread for people to view them there. Great cars, by the way. I love the red 2.8.
Andrew.
ok thanks for that im glad you like them all that red 2.8i was the last capri I owned in 1997 up until 2012 when I thought I would get another one and that other red 3.0 ghia I loved but sadly it was scrapped in 1990 due to me selling it to a guy in a scrapyard who scrapped it when the engine seized up on him .
did anyone notice that the zakspeed smk829y is left hand drive and I wonder if its the same owner that owned it back in 1988 . im going to wonderland this year and if I see the owner I will ask how long he or shes owned it . does anyone know where the 1988 national show was held and which part of the country was it .

Simon,
It's the annual CCI show held at Badger's Hill near Evesham, Worcestershire. The Zakspeed used to owned by a chap called Derek Spiers and was featured in the club magazine regularly in the 1990s.
hi thanks for the info he must have loved this capri and took great pride and pleasure in owning it ,i guess it was is baby back then and is a real credit to him .
The 80s - the decade that style forgot!!! Great to see some period pics though, especially interesting as some of those cars were probably only a year or two old at the time! Thanks a lot for sharing!

I used to own jck909s in 1984 till 87 great car I did most of the restoration including triple carb set up but when I sold it on they were took off but the guy who had it afterwards managed to get hold of the rare manifold got a lot of joy working in it it was stipped down to virtually nothing and rebuilt body and engine engine main bits from rally eqipe in bury
It's in the same condition now as it was nearly 27 years ago. In fact it's probably in better condition than when it was new!
Hope to see it around at a show this year.
