Rare beastie that mate, have you seen capriaddicts recent acquisition? a Broadspeed Mk2?

[bortaf]

cool

goes it have the wife switch

i love that idea, "if they aint got hairy nuts they cant drive it propper" so 70's

[ian cognito]

no mate,,no wife switch,,,they are on the turbos,,this is a early non turbo version

yep i seen pics of cappriaddicts car,,,know andy for years,,,he bought my old broadspeed,,still owns it too,,,they are about if ya know where to look,ive got files and details on close to 20 cars,,not all survive!

[lotusless]

nice m8, how many left then

[ian cognito]

bout 15,,,still a few that are untraced at the mo,,,but things have a way of turning up when ya least expect it,,,,eg,,capriaddicts mk2......... added another 2 to the list in the last 6 months

nearly bought an ermine white mk1 broadspeed capri years ago.all white interior,ducktail spoiler with rubber tip,owner said it was a pre production one . minilights,broadspeed badge on the cover behing the rad.he had no solid proof it was a genuine car so i.like a fool didn't buy it.it probably was one . never seen or heard of it since

Did it have a white interior? Reg no KLM 1K? was up for around 6k a few years ago

[ian cognito]

yep,not sure if fly has survived the test of time,,ive got a road test article in an old mag on that car,,different set up,as more modern on the granada,dont believe it used the holset,,i dig it out sometime,,reg number no active at the moment,,so cant guarantee it's around,,never say never though!!!

andys right,,sounds like klm,,,,had the same colour interior ,correct spoiler and wheels,,well correct for that car anyway,,there was always plenty of options available,,klm's beeen for sale a few times in the last few years...cheers i.c
