Note... Been in one - in Carpet Crush mode - with N.E. CapriClub rep..... many, many moons ago

Note2... also been in a 2.8i (the white one, with the engine 'photoprinted' onto the bonnet... in the days before screen printed vinyl) and the guy just wanted to drive by the 'Spanish City', in Whitley bay, playing DireStraits....'Tunnel of love' >> the song having been inspired by a ride in the funfair.

Ay up!

Good on yer. How nice to see a decent bloke with a decent car. Not long ago, Capris were seemingly condemned to either boy racer trash or Chest Wig Man. Whichever, they always seemed to have those poxy dice in the windscreen.

I can never make up my mind which I prefer. The Mk1's purity of looks, the facelift Mk1 with double headlights or the Mk3 which looks truly like a British muscle car.

Of course, with a V6, it is.

Capri. The car I've always promised myself and that I liked, even when in the doldrums.

My car in Practical Classics page 18-19 up against 18 other cars for restorer of the year.
Your vote would be very welcome.
Cheers Paul

consider it done.
