Sold to a couple in Hayle, Cornwall. |
| Notes |
Purchased form a "car salesman" in Aldershot, Hants in July 2005. I travelled up by train to collect it and it drove faultlessly back to Cornwall. The rear springs were sagging when I bought it, so they were replaced within a month of purchase.
Once bought, I made a series of cosmetic modifications that were reversible when I wanted to sell the car.
I removed the Laser stripes, added black headlight surrounds, a Mk II grille and Ghia alloys.
I also fitted a walnut dash that was pre-cut to allow fitting of a modern stereo.
As a daily driver, I was disheartened with it - I saw some rust spots forming that would eventually need attention. Lack of power steering plus 250 miles MAX per tank of fuel didn't impress me an awful lot. So I bought a 16v Ford Probe and advertised the Capri in our local paper.
Had 3 eager calls for it and it was sold 2 days after advertising. |

Heard about the Drive Archive on Steve Wright in the afternoon on BBC Radio 2 and loved the idea. |
