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.

That doesn't mean a thing really. If you owned something that kept breaking
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...
