Thought I would say hi..
Just imported a MK1 1973 Capri 2600 V6 its a one owner car from new and spent all its life in California so there is NO rust and never been welded..
Tis a rare car indeed..

First car was a MK1 after passing my test and went on to own lots .
Love these cars and after spending a few years looking most were rot or needed lots of work some were wanting big money so I looked over the pond and glad I did..

Here`s a pic

Cheers peeps.
Importing was stressful as was dealing with the P/O on info pics etc

Once sorted I took the plunge 8 weeks later it flew through its MOT ..
It had been sat for 6 years an brought as a non runner but a little bit of TLC got it running sweet..
This car is so sweet showing the factory welds intact ..
MOT inspector was gobsmacked at its original condition !

Miles on the car are 13,000 all original smog sh1te still attached from California regs holds back on power but I love the originality...
Its a fantastic MK1 with full leather interior its like a new car...
