Nice eBay 2.8i

[Jasonmarie]

Just seen this on KFC web site , https://youtu.be/MOp2xNXR3xU
I could have bought one of these in 92 using my grandads ford employees discount and Marie made me move house . I would have kept the Capri as it was used for work ,and Marie would have used this .
Don’t get me going when we had kids as I was going for the first child born in 2000 “ Marie was 12 days late these woman just don’t know how easy they have it . OMG “ the first thing said when I went to work there goes your dream car .....
but 3 kids later and the dog , cat & fish I got my Capri back again ..... happy days .

Strong money, but a very nice car...And low miles, low owner and original paint/bodywork are what many people want so will pay more for them.
Cars like this are always a good guide to value your own car for insurance purposes

Madness really I will have a chat with nick and see what he is going to do . Insurance is due end of Feb so will ring them and ask . I think you 2.8i boys should up yours as well . I do wonder if they pay out what they agree ?

My agreed value runs for 2 years and states that if the form or pics I sent in are misrepresented, then they will be revoked and I will only get the market value.
The car was insured with the same company by the previous keeper, and quite a considerable amount more than I paid for it and the current value....Nice to know I should have no trouble increasing it next time or before if required

[Jasonmarie]

That was lucky with yours I am with admiral classic car what will be up in feb so will need to do some more pictures . Might ask for a quote with a few big names in the classic car magazines .....
Of note looking forward to seeing your Capri next year Andy I think we are all going to the Brooklands .

Andrew is quite tonight , I bet he is polishing all the brass and silver in the house with his new toy

I wasn't impressed with their breakdown option of recovery only, so I took out the Start Rescue 3 star policy to run alongside https://www.startrescue.co.uk/breakdown-cover

Yes roll on Springtime and get out and about

[Jasonmarie]

I used the RAC and it worked out cheap , also I was talking with somebody who said you can pay monthly so I might go down that route .

Yes roll on spring time the weather has yet again been wet cold and wet again here i am hoping we have a really mild winter so I can get the Capri out early nextyear for a good run I noticed the Capri club international event is May 12th so will be going then ....

That does look like a nice car. As Andy says, people will pay a premium for such a good original condition car.
