The Ford Capri Laser Page

Here are some photos of the stunning Capris that were at the show in Weston Super Mare this Easter Sunday.
































The best handling Capri there....











































All in all, not a bad turn out, I'd say.

Andrew.

I make it 25 Capris....

Morning Andrew,

Another cracking gathering there fella and some really great pics, if I had to pick a favourite it would have to be, rum, scrub that, the best picture instead and that goes to the good old Cement in the boot!!! Brilliant spot... cheers as ever for sharing them, all the very best for now, cheers,

John...

Thanks Andrew, great pics and great weather.

Thanks John. I hope the bags of cement made you laugh, they certainly put a smile on my face! A nice little touch...

Yes, terrific weather, about 23 -24 degrees and not a drop of the wet stuff all day!
Yes, I met up with some others at McDonalds first. There were some other groups meeting there too at the same time, so there were some other classic Fords and some Focus RS too.

Yes, it was a great day for all Capri mark 2 spotting, and I couldn't have wished for better weather.

Very nice Andrew and as mentioned an impressive turnout of the MKII which was my first Capri - a very long time ago!

It was great to be a part of such a big line up of fantastic Capri's.
The convoy from McDonalds was great, although i struggled to keep up. I may have "the best handling Capri" but with the 1600, it's got to be the slowest
it was also great to be met by Adam who recognized Grandads Capri from 14 years ago!

really looking forward to the summer shows now...

Cheers Andy

I met Adam Langley a couple of years ago at a local show, he had a Green 3.0S X Pack A nice guy too.

Back to the usual rain here today and forecast most of the week/weekend, so that will be 2 local shows I won't be attending

Thank you, Peter. Now you own a 2.8...the zenith of Capri ownership!

Yes, wasn't it! Last year had a great turn out of Capris, but this year was even better. I think the weather helped a lot! Yours is a stunning looking car, really great condition.

I assumed that the bags of cement were some kind of ironic statement for the benefit of lesser informed show visitors, or were you just on your way home from B & Q or something?

Andrew.

Thanks for your comments Andrew,
The cement bags are really just filled with bubble wrap, for effect only (shush, don’t tell anyone). It’s amazing how many “experts” have told me I need these. And I think I’ve caused a bit of a stir on Facebook too!
