Hi guys, a few pics of the capri from yesterday. Got the MOT (Flew threw) got her taxed and insured and off i went. Pouring rain and 5pm traffic dampened the thrills but she performed excellently with no worries at all!


Absoloutely no traction in the wet which made me laugh and from driving a 61 plate focus as a daily you have to remind yourself of how different cars of these age feel but every blip of the throttle makes you

Got to paint the boot and bonnet but hoping for a proper blast on some roads over the weekend!

Brief spec is 1972 Capri 1.6 - Fully restored shell with new front wings (RS3100), rear wings, floors and cills. 3L Essex with fast road cam and steel timing gear, 5 Speed Type 9 'box, 2.8 injection front and rear suspension and brakes including atlas Axle






Old vs new...quite amazing with the size difference! Capper is proper low!

Looks really nice that!

Must be nice to just jump in an old toy like that when you feel like it and go for a spin.

Yeah just want a little sunny weather so i can enjoy it properly! Give some hot hatches a scare!

yes i like that, the wheels look great, just a shame the front number plate is not on straight

DirtyHarry85

Yeah the wheels came up really well! Number plate is as per 1972 spec Haha

It's a pre facelift model so kept it nice and original but I do love the twin headlight facelift
