Hi All,
A few more photos, as promised. I hope you enjoy looking through them.

Two more stunning forum Capris.

ImageFord Capri 2.8 Injection A107VMD by Andrew2.8i, on Flickr

The 2.8 Injection Special with a glorious shine to the paintwork. Mark even had to look away, as the glare from the sun was just too much!

Escort Mexico.

Cortina 1600E.

Escort 1300E.

RS2000.

The photo doesn't do this Focus pick-up justice. It had a sparkly paint finish that looked good in the morning sunshine. The body looked very well converted too, done to a high standard.

Capri rivals. Manta GTE, with Irmscher mods....

.....and an Alfa GTV6.

These original Polos seem to be thin on the ground these days.

Avenger Tiger.

Triumph Dolomite.

Cavalier SRi. How rare are these nowadays?

Ariel Atom. Lightweight, twin turbo V8. I suspect it's quite fast........

ImageAriel Atom 3.5 AT03UFO by Andrew2.8i, on Flickr

Another car on a similar theme, although with a Ford 1.6 engine, I suspect it's not quite as fast as the Ariel. Nice car though, especially in this classic colour scheme.

Tiny little classic Fiat 500.

Not quite so tiny or little Plymouth.

80's 911.

ImagePorsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet Super Sport G911SRO by Andrew2.8i, on Flickr

Just to illustrate the variety of cars, a Scimitar GTE.

ImageReliant Scimitar GTE SE6B ULU648X by Andrew2.8i, on Flickr

American muscle.

Celica with a V8 conversion.

Great photo's Andrew.... The 1300E has a special place in my :heart: as it was my first car. I wish I had the space to buy another one :(

All the best

Hi Neil,
That's a super car to have as a first car. The Cortina and Escort E models seem to come in better colours than the regular models. What colour was yours?

Cheers Andrew,
Yeah I loved that car it was metallic purple and it was a 2 door version. It had the 1300GT Kent engine pushing out about 70bhp, which was ample back then in such a light weight car :drive: A lot of my mates had Capri's but I was an Escort person back then until the 2.8 came out :D

All the best
Neil
