Some recent pictures of my Capri..

Hey guys, I have a small issue with my Capri headlighs, they are a bit rusty so I bought a pair of NOS original Lucas headlights, from Uk, but the beam is for rhd. Now I need your help.. I saw for sale some stickers eurolite for converting the beam rhd/lhd or lhf/rhd.. are they compatible with prefacelift Capri lights?? Anyone instaled these stickers on a classic car? Results? Thanks

I will send some pics of the capri to classic ford mag, what do you think? In Portugal some part's were very very dificult to achieve, but after some years of search, this is the result. Don't have the vinyl roof, an XLR option, but i like to see my Capri Yellow, with the black rear. It´s very good to see your opinion, because it´s a british car, and you guys know them better than anyone!

Thanks! The region in the pics is the Douro, Portugal, distinguished as mankind patrimony, with the vinniards where the Port wine is made! Thanks!! I wanted to keep the car original, because it´s so beautifull... The crossflow engine is fantastic.. Someday, you'l see this Capri in Uk, i wanted to do a trip Portugal-Uk-Portugal! Do you receive us??

In 2007, when I discovered my Capri, a real barnfind.. I simply love this car...

Open windows.. the worst part is getting in after being at the sun for a wile, the seats burn!!! But I love it... this trip was to celebrate my 2nd marriage aniversary!

Hello!! Some pictures of last weekend, with my pre facelift Capri mk1, 1600GT XLR.. Pictures from Douro region, Portugal! Hope you like it! Pedro

It's a big adventure... lots and lots of things to prepare... let´s see if next year there's a yellow Capri in London streets!! Any advice to a 2000km journey???

Thanks! Where should I present my project to 2013, driving my Capri from Portugal to Uk??

The story is not over... I will need your help in several questions, sometimes in Portugal it's dificult to find correct information about some details! But the project for 2013 is a road trip Portugal - UK - Portugal, and visit the Halewood factory, where the Capri was built in 1971. Now it belongs to Jaguar, right? It will be hard, mas it´s a dream to go there with my Capri... Is there dates for the Classic Ford shows in 2013? I'm not alone in this trip... if everything goes ok, one of my good friends will go to, in his orange Escort mk1, fully restored.

Thanks!!

Hello, my name is Pedro, i live in Portugal, and i bought a Capri mk1 pre-facelift 5 years ago. This was a barn find, as you can see.. This Capri was built at Halewood factory, end of 1971, sold to Angola, and bought by the previous (and only) owner, before me. At this time, Angola was under the administration of Portugal, but when the war between these two countries begin, almost every portuguese had to leave Angola and return to Portugal. This is what hapenned, the previous owner left Angola with his family and only the things that the Capri could transport, and arrived at Portugal in the year of 1976. Mr. Antonio drove the Capri for 10/15 years, but he had other cars, and the Capri stayed in a barn for 15 years, until i found it.. First time i saw the this Capri i promised myself buy the car. 3 weeks after, the car was mine! After a full restoration, 5 years ago... Capri mk1, 1600 GT XLR... love the crossflow!!!
