Paris blue...nice. Not a special so no LSD but it also won't try and shove you in a hedge on bends either. |
which would mean it *could* be a special.
I think that colour was still used on the specials.
I can't really remember tho, its a long time since I was interested in
Capris.....despite learning to drive in a signal orange 3.0S with fishnet
recaros!

That could be a private plate, car could be on a D plate which would mean it *could* be a special. |
"could" about it.
The clue is in the interior. Two tone rear seats so its the two tone
shark grey cloth Recaro interior which was fitted to the 2.8i's and not
the light grey leather Recaro interior fitted to the Specials.

leather trim in the Special. I don't like the Special alloys either, but
they're easily sorted. I do, however, love the shark grey cloth trim -
it's one of the very few times I prefer cloth to leather.

darker shade. This works out well as my last 2.8i was a Paris blue
non-special and I loved it.

Indeed it was. |

In article <79al80F1q1di0U1 (AT) mid (DOT) individual.net>, JackH says... Yet still manages after 24 years to be more reliable than your Alfas. How do you know that when you've only just bought it? Its got every single receipt. Its been maintained by the same garage. There is nothing in there to indicate any breakdowns. |
down, would you want any potential buyer to see loads of documented evidence
that it had been that way?
Or to put it another way, you didn't answer my question really, did you...

Capri 2L Laser. Yes, another one. Two owners, last owner 20 years. Full ford service history to 1993 then independant Ford specialist since then. Last service was a major one 6 weeks ago - been serviced every 6000 miles since new. 3" thick service history. Even though its got 174,000 on the clock and is on the original running gear, apart from unleaded valve seats, it drives like a dream and engine oil pressure is just slightly below that of my reconditioned engine when new. Boot full of spares and enough service items to last a decade. Interior is all original, seats are mint under the covers and the original stereo still works. Only downsides: The guy liked stickers and reflectors - the car was covered in them. They've all gone now. Oh and he liked red and yellow paint too. Drivers wing looks ropey although some of that is down to the fact he hammerited over repairs. He reckoned it is good for another 2 year which I think is about 3 years too optimistic. Passenger wing is saveable. Thankfully the guy loved covering everything in grease. There is grease absolutely everywhere. As a result,the brake pipes are the originals and even have the factory paint on them and the only rot is in the wing tips. Not sure where I'm going with it yet but at £500 with 11 1/2 month MOT and 3 months tax, it was a steal. So much for not getting another one... http://tinyurl.com/m8jdaq -- Conor I only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow isn't looking good either. - Scott Adams |

Of which he has little to spare.
