    I was just going to mention Ray Brandon's name. I remember that he always drove Classics and Capris and tended to have about three at a time.

    He's down to just one at the minute . I've developed a hankering for another, thought I'd run out of ideas that were different but I feel a plan forming.

    I always liked the pink consul capri convertable thats in the middle pic belonging to, if memory serves me well, simon bishop and featured in the october 1987 issue of street machine. It is mentioned in this thread with pics i think, but i cant get the pics to upload! Does this car still exist and what does it look like now?
    cheers, paul.

    It was still round my area about 5 years ago though was apparently stuggling to get an MOT due to the shaved handles ( not illegal but the MOT tester woudln't be swayed) . Last I heard of Simon he was out in Australia and doing tattooing.

    I had a similar set up on my last Kapri. I've been at owners clubs meeting where I've had to point out to restorers that I've moved the lights so to me it looks right But we all have different tastes and takes on what works ,it's what makes kustomising so interesting , seeing so many different versions of the same car.

    Nope, Simon sold it on at least 20 years back. It had additional steel box welded inside along the trans tunnel, strenthen ing in the rear footwell area ( as this is a weak spot on the standard motor and , I think as it was a long time ago , additional boxing alongside the inner sills.

    Steve Anderson has been a good family friend for longer then I've been breathing and it's great to see his 'old flame' (as it was called) again. I remember going round his house in edgeware where he lived before movin to bournemouth. There would always be a group of people there working on a rod of some sort. Steve helped build 'fat nicks' fiat that was destined for a big block, not sure what happened to that, he also had his hands into bob lackersteins red 55', again I don't know if the car or bob is still around??? Answers on a postcard? Steve was building the Capri for about 20-25 Years and was also the builder of the ford Anglia I had a few years ago.....along with a black Anglia van too! He's a top guy and took so long with the Capri because he was always helping someone else. Thanks for posting the pic, I sent it on to him, and have just had a txt back saying "it done that to me in watford once!" anymore would be appreciated

    Built by my mate Walter in the early 70s, sadly the car has gone to the great two lane blacktop in the sky.

    Yes, john owned it for quite a while before getting his African Estate. He bought it from Walter, sold it to Classic racer Ian Drew who, with some help from me, sold it back to Walter (the 3rd time he had owned it, he bought it new, sold it, bought it back, then made it into an estate, then sold it to John). Walter hoped to restore it when he retired but it was just too far gone so he gave it to a scrapyard, without telling me. Paul Steeples bought it from the yard and broke it.

    I have just come across a 12 inch album cover. GET THE BUZZ by THE GREEN HORNETS the cover shows a modded Consul capri. The pic is of the side so no reg number, the album seems to be from 1996.
    Anyone know anything, like whose car it is?

    Hey all,
    just thought I'd share some pics of my Capri in Southern California. I dropped in a modified 13B rotary over 10 years and it's been going strong ever since. These cars are full of character and I'm glad to see that they are being appreciated.



    Cheers
