Norfolk newcomer

Post by ben01328 »

Hi guys thought i would say high and show you all what i bought today.

Plan is to liven the engine up a bit, its already got twin webber 45s and high comp pistons and just do a General tidy up of little niggles here and there. I'll get a project log going when i get started.

Thanks for the welcome guys, I'm chuffed to bits with the Capri. Gets loads of attention, had people taking pictures as drove down the motor way on the drive home after buying it.

Had a 250 mile drive home and not one issue, drove lovely.

Hi, welcome. Looks good. Nice colour and I bet you'll get some looks. It seems everyone has a link to one somewhere good or bad but they create a lot of memories.

Bit of a belated :welcome: mate.

Beautiful Capri you got there. Stunning colour and those dished 4 spokes look amazing. No wonder you are so chuffed to be the new owner ! Nice one :)

Bet those 45's are music to your ears !

All the best

Hi there
Whereabouts in Norfolk?
I'm over between Thetford and Downham Market.
Finally got rid of my last Capri after owning in excess of 30 since 1985!
Still got a head full of info though if you need any.
Also, check out Kings Lynn Capri Club
Tell them Martin sent you
(I founded it back in 1991)
