Be good to have another car on the road in our area. That'll make 6 in all.

Just drove through Carshalton & one was parked up near Mike the Pipe's old workshop, outside the petrol station, custom rear lights, furry interior....ah, took me back!

[Klassicdave]

I've seen this Capri at a couple of shows in the past and it is simply breathtaking. I seem to remember that it has had its front lights altered and they look great - gotta get me another one in the future and KEEP hold of it !!!

I keep thinking like that as well. Got a list in my head of all the things I want to do to it, too...

Just found a 'rough' example on ebay. It may be restorable, and I hope it is, but it has all the typical rot these cars are prone to after many years of neglect. Hopefully somebody will be brave enough to take it on as these cars are rather rare now.
Go check it out

Here's mine...originally had a Pinto in it, but was positioned wrong (nose up) so the drive train angles were all to ****. Took that out & fitted a built 1500 pre-crossflow, went like a train but the paint was so thick it crazed & looked like El Mirage on a bad day!!


Who wouldn't have liked that reg no on their A???

Gary, is this the car that was on Top Gear a few years ago? I think I still have the video somewhere!

PS. Do you know the best place for Rover V8 bits, gaskets, ignition etc., is there anywhere local or is it mail order?

[TAZ-MAN]

Some older Classic Capri's for you all.

[TAZ-MAN]

The first Grey is Rover powered.
The Pale Green/Yellow was Mouse powered.
The Burnt Orange candy version was Essex V-6 equipped.
and the last two were both small block Ford powered. the latter having a flip-front.

I just saw my new seat covers for mine, they haven't been put on the frames yet, man are they beautiful. I'll post pics soon. The car's on hiatus because my parents are really sick, this might be the longest stretch of time I haven't turned a wrench since I was 16.

Thanks for all the pics fellas, very inspiring.
