Leaving in a minute to go collect it.

Its blue, 90,000 miles, mechanically very good, drives in a straight line, has rust on three of the four wheelarches, a hole in the drivers seat, has the red master key and best of all cost peanuts to buy and insure.

It will I'm sure be a fine steed to see me through the winter and the day I buy a 3.0 Capri (thats the plan anyway).

Steering wheel is a bit odd though, nice thick rim but kind of soft and spongy

Welcome

Cool, get some pics up
I love capris, my dad had when I was younger, brilliant looking car.

Well I've got it home and after a 30 mile scoot down the motorway I can say it drives 100%, nice strong engine etc.

The rust however is about a million times worse than I remember, it needs new panels really but I'm not going to bother as I only need the car to last me till february.

A new experience for me was that the engine chuntered and stuttered for about 5 seconds after I took the key out of the ignition instead of turning off straight away.

Still, what can you expect for a car that cost half a weeks wages?

I never i Capri i was a ford mk3 contina fan but welcome to the site

As you're going for the drop it route, don't forget to break it and sell parts on here!

welcome to fsi

I wouldnt have the time or inclination to break it, will sell it as it is.

Unless someone want to offer me 800 quid for it now?

£800? You'd be lucky to get £300 these days

especially with you saying:

"the rust is a million times worse then i remember"

Yeah you'd get more money breaking it for spares and selling the parts cheaply on here (I can try can't I? Lol!)
