Mark, from St Helens - Lancashire, drive a 2.8i - 4 on the floor!
Hi Im Bernard, I live in northampton, sounds like a good idea with the map. I am trying to get some capri owners that are local to me to meet up. It all seems to happen in essex......
Car(s): Ford Capri 1.6GL 1981 (Track Project) & 2.0 GL 1979(Gone to Capri Heaven) Alfa 156 GTA (Daily Driver) Alfa 2.4JTD Sportwagon Mini Cooper S (Wife's) Old Jags & Riley's for fun
Stew from brum area. Have an '86 2.8i special in white which I've owned since 97 & has been stored since 98... Recently rescued it, got it running again & put it into a safer storage location. Have collected most of the bits I need to get it sorted out.
Have owned another 2.8i (82 x plate 4spd), various other v6 fords, xr4i, xr4x4 turbo technics & loads of other random stuff!
It's been a long time since I messed with capris but odd how quickly it comes back!
Hi, I'm James from Leicester. Had a 1972 Capri mk1 facelift 1.6.XL as my first car in 1982 and absolutely loved it. Always wanted a 3.0. Ghia and finally got one, a 1977 Mk 2 six months ago.
Really pleased and puts a smile on my face every time I go out in her. Love the way people smile when they see it and the conversations that get started, normally with "I used to have one of those".
Looking forward to spring so i can get out even more and hopefully meet up with others locally. Anyone know whats going on in this area?
