capritech Posted October 7, 2006 Author Report Posted October 7, 2006 That on the bonnet is off a zepher??
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 That's on the way to Meltham, Huddersfield isn't it... Simon (Juby) goes there quite often in his line of work. He took me last year. Have you been in the yard behind? There's capris, some cortinas, granadas etc, all in various states. One capri is engine less (the shell looks ok), with no bonnet, and there's a tree growing there instead.
capritech Posted October 7, 2006 Author Report Posted October 7, 2006 Yeah I know (now you have let the cat out of the bag)
RFChris Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 What garage is it at mate....just out of curiosity. Chris
capritech Posted October 7, 2006 Author Report Posted October 7, 2006 Unless you have a big bank account you don't need to know (anyway it's not a vauxhall or a rover)
RFChris Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 Har har.....git! Just wondering if its anyone i know. The outside looks familiar.....
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 I know!! I know!! But it'll cost ya

Cookie Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 Open to offers but has had a bid of £3500 from a guy in ireland If its that mint i would expect it to go for a lot more than that aswell on the dreaded flea-bay
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 I spoke to Simon (Juby) today who visits there regular in his job. He's got a Capri in too. I can't remember that much about it, but it's in similar condition to the Escorts - nice and original. He was open to offers on that too. He was offered £10k for it and turned it down, so you can kinda guess what sort of money he's after for the scort.
Jubfab Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Yeah - i've got to know the guy well here. The Capri used to be parked next to the gold un !! is it still there ? The Capri 2.8 had 5000 miles from new he bought it for his son who had it for a year and got bored of it. He put it in the showroom in 1988 and it stayed there ever since. I was trying to buy it off him but he just was not interested. The last time I spoke to him about the Capri he said he was going to get it legal again and take it to some shows. It might be in the workshop.. He said he was getting rid of the cars in the compound - all only really good for spares... He used to have a mint Zodiac mk2 cabrio but he sold that to a guy down london way for a stupid amount. If you want any of em you'll have to pay top dollar, he'll sit on em forever if he has to. That mk2 Escort was a part ex from years ago !!!!!!
capritech Posted October 8, 2006 Author Report Posted October 8, 2006 The 2.8 is his own !! he is NOT selling it!! it's red and 5000miles on her.He asked me yesterday if I will maintain it for him as he is hanging his overalls up!It is in the workshop under a cover and I have just borght his 280 capri
BIGKEV Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 I'll give him £250 for the toothpaste blue escort .... only cos I'm feeling rich today
antz Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 I'll give him £250 for the toothpaste blue escort .... only cos I'm feeling rich today £350
