	Nice one! I haven't seen a Capri on the roads for ages - that looks to be a minter!

	Not too sure what axle is on it. But it is standard factory and has not been messed with! I have not got any plans for it really as I think Ford got it right first time! The alloys are Brooklands 280's 15 inch with 205/60's. I do need the front recaros re trimming but other than that It is a car that get the retro look and feel, but don't need any mods... Having said that I would like a Janspeed exhaust.......

	The exhaust tips do need changing for origional ones yes! Thanks for the offer but I'm sticking with the Brooklands! I paid £1750. It is MINT! Apart from the recaros. New wings were fitted about 3 months ago and some other parts too.

	that's nice.... now x-pack it only joking, a mint capri like that deserves respect, must have been one of the last built though!

	Yeah it was registerd in '87 just before the Brooklands 280 came along. I admit a Mk2 X-Pack would be nice but I think I will stick with my V6 Beast! Who needs a radio when you have that under the bonnet!

	thats nice- very tidy! I've always liked Capris. Strange really, though, coz i october we bought a 1973 Reliant Scimitar for £1700 - bet no one ever imagined them being sold for the same amount of money...

	Thanks! It is a Gem. And yes it is in the best condition! First things first! Spray with loads of oil underneath then use it! I would take it to shows but not to be sniffed at by people who get annoyed it someone sneezes 5 meters away from thier trailer queen! I Love IT!.... Still adicted to Marina's tho!
