That is real nice, I like the mk1's the best, especially with the sculped side bits.
Will Holman from PPC has a immac yellow one as well, with a V8 in his, but original is better IMO.

I love mk1 capri`s my dad has a mk1 facelift here and although i hate the colour mate your car is in fantastic condition fair play

did you have the bonnet painted or is that its genuine one as i know the gt xlr`s had black bonnets but i would have thought they would have painted it in side and out lol

The XLR had the option of the anti glare bonnet/scuttle, black sills/door bottoms and back panel. The inside of the bonnet should be the same colour as the car and not black.

I always think the mirrors on the wings spoil the lines on a MK1 capri. Cracking car mate, later rims really make the car sweet
