stanski Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 There are a surprising number of them still in circulation - I mean the early 70's ones and prices are pretty cheap too! http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C139462/ I had a Model of this very coloured car when I was a kid! Look at that engine bay - you could fit another engine in there!! Car designers just had a bit of style then! Price: £4750 Quote

stanski Posted February 23, 2010 Author Posted February 23, 2010 Well maybe not sure but I still think its cheap for such a car if it really is as original as he says etc - trouble is we still probably remember these and think who would buy them but look at the prices of the original mini's now - even the late 90's one! Crazy! Quote

stanski Posted February 23, 2010 Author Posted February 23, 2010 Its funny recently being off work - and watching reruns of CI5 - its comical seeing the tartan interior on the one they drive in series! Mates dad had some limited edition one in black (the above shape) think it was a 3.5ltr??? only had it a week and let his muppet son drive it strangely enough he ended up on the embankment near the M62 when he tried to show off to his mates Quote
lomoto Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Thats a cheap Capri , but it would want quite a few grand spending on it take a look what this one was making on Ebay but never made it's reserve..This wasnt mint either http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-CAPRI-RS2600 ... 27af3be70b Quote
Arkwright Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 sorry stanski but martinmac mentioned it first in the other thread and I resisted the temptation. You all seem so good at advertising other peoples Capris that I thought I'd mention a genuine one on your doorstep. I don't know how to do pics so I'll have to wait for my son to put them up. Quote
martinmac Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Where you been Derek Now if we are talking cool motors wait for the pics of this one The owner also gave me a heads up that he was attending a Thurrock meet with something a little different, he turned up towing a trailer with a police car in it.

Arkwright Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Just for you martin. You'll have to click on it and go to my sons photobucket page, i cant seem to embed it. Quote

Beavis Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Thats a cheap Capri , but it would want quite a few grand spending on it Crap engine to the V4 Very bad for blowing head gaskets iirc. Quote
