My old car

Post by andyd »

The 2.8 I had when I joined this forum https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305123955175 ... R4iwv-PTYg

Still looks good. At the time mostly original paintwork, so due to the age most panels had blemishes (Patina) :lol: Not sure what's going on with the battery :headscratch:

Looks great!

Does it come with the "Look but don't touch" sign? :D

Found it http://www.fordcapriforum.com/forum/vie ... hp?t=46744

Still think this would a been a good car to keep, but being active with the XR owners it makes sense to have an XR so no real regrets :cool:

As for the sign I don't think I was using back then, but I have 2 now front and rear :lol:

Ooops :roll:
I remember that, it was Paignton seafront April 2015, I wheelspun in reverse as ground was abit damp so some mud was spread around a little, also quite a windy day if I recall ended up with windrash :lol:

The other pic from same show is of the rear before the Janspeeds were fitted and is in the link I put up.

If still original I reckon that will make over £30k, as won't be many left now that haven't seen panels and paint!

I think you are spot on there. It certainly still looks good in the photos and the mileage is very low.

I ve just checked and I've been on here for over 8 years. Where does the time go? Mind you Andy you're on 8000 posts and I'm somewhat lagging on 1800! :nopity:
