Hi guys.
A friend of mine is gerting married at the end of july in dorset. And she would like to be driven to the wedding in a capri. Of course all costs will be covered.
Anyone help?
Cheers stu

 

My cousin lives in weymouth and has my old white 3 litre S and he has done this before, I will ask him when he is next on leave as hes in afghanistan at moment serving

 

Cheers steve. Whos he out there with? Im due back out there in September time again

 

explosive ordnance Stu and his brother is also there in the air assault battalion, our family find it hard to watch the news at times for obvious reasons and my uncle their dad is now semi retired and based at bovington, I will ask as soon as he is home fella as the capri is pristine the same day as he got it from me

 

Thank you very much. Yeah my family dont tend to like watching the news when im away. And the mrs refuses to watch any programs about it on the tele which I enjoy.

 

if I get a request for a video link chat which sometimes happens I will speak to him before he returns but I wont forget, mind you thats if you dont locate one before then anyway

 

Well her grandad has been teeing one up for the last 3 months. With no success. Thought I would give it a bash here. Sadly I dont know anyone with a capri. Every other ford but not a capri.

 

Hi Stu, if matey can't help with the 3.0s
I have a 280 Capri that can be used or my red Tickford should be taxed and mot'd by then ready for Ford Fair.
The cars are in Southampton so quite local.

 

Stu my mistake I thought you were down Dorset way, didn't know you were South Lincs, that a bit too far for me mate.

 

Jase. I myself live in norfolk but the wedding is in dorset. Its not mt wedding just a friends. Im trying to gain a capri as that's what she wants. Its something she has grown up wanting.

 

Super, then I'm up for it. Just going to pm you my contact details mate.

 

Sweet. Thankyou very much. The date is midweek. 31st July which I should have mentioned in the op really

 

Luckily as they are massive geeks (and liking old Fords bit strange haha) they actually set up a website for their wedding. Even an app. The groom works for amazon and writes apps for fun. Weird one I know. Why aint he in the shed with a hammer god only knows. The venue is Sherbourne.

 

Yep no probs.



Always one of my 280's is taxed at any time.

 

Dude you have probably made me the best thing since sliced bread haha. Great help from the pf mob as per usual

 

No worries mate, if they want me to remove the passenger seat that wouldn't be a problem as Capris aren't very lady friendly when getting out of the back!!!...

 

Pics of Inside, just to give an insight for getting in and out.

 

I did just have this coversation with my missus. I said does she realise a capri aint the easiest thing to get into the back of. 1 her dress is small. And if you're willing to do that thats brilliant. The bride seems to have gone to bed. But I will get onto this tomorrow morning and see what she says. Linked her the thread so she may pop up here herself

 

No worries mate.

 

Hi guys! I'm the bride in question (Kirsty). I am aware of the lack of lady friendliness of the capri but to be honest I would curl up in the boot, or climb over the seat if I had to! I originally wanted to drive myself to my wedding in a capri, but was talked out of it!

They are beautiful cars thanks for all the replies etc, and thanks Stuart for putting this up!

I am pressing my Grandad to tie up whether he is able to hire this capri he is investigating (someone he knows who knows someone who has one - these things take time! haha), and then I will definitely be back in touch if it doesn't work out. My Grandad will be coming with me in the car, hence why I'm happy to let him investigate for a while.

As far as these rentals go... probably silly question, but I know some people who hire their cars out wish to drive them themselves, whereas others are willing to let others drive. Whats the deal with your cars? self drive or owner drive?

Thanks guys!

 

Cracking Capri that mate

 

Hi Kirsty, I wouldn't actually charge you for using my car as I don't think my insurance lets me hire out the vehicle for this sort of thing, so It would be done as a wedding gift. Just top my tank up with fuel to get me there and back.
If you or your grandfather wanted to drive my capri to the Church, I would agree to this if the driver will be put as a named driver on the policy for the day. Just to cover me if anything happens as they are worth a lot of money.
Regards Jason.

 

Cheers mate

 

Hi Jason,

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, my Grandad actually had a heart attack so he hasn't really had any chance to sort anything out. I've taken the decision to just get this sorted myself for my own peace of mind!

If you are still willing to let us use your Capri then we would very much like to. It is likely to be my uncle who will drive (he's a mechanic and a big fan of classic cars), as my Grandad does not feel confident enough to drive it, and I myself will probably be a bit nervous as it is!

We of course would be willing to pay for your petrol. I think I mentioned before, but I just want to double double check that it is ok that the wedding is on a Thursday.

Are you able to PM me your email address and I can contact you directly to talk about logistics etc.

Thanks!
Kirsty

 

Bump on this, hasn't worked out with jas, can anyone else help out?
