Capri's, Granada's, Cortina's - part of my OSF history

[BudgieV8]

Hi all. Been a member since the early days, but never got around to posting in this section! So, for starters, here we go.........

 

Spent lots of my time (& cash ) on Capri's over the years.

Current car is a 1970 Mk1 with a Rover SD1V8 fitted. Looking for a new engine as this ones past its best, but still puts a smile on my face!

 

 

Sold this to buy the V8. (1971 Mk1 3000GT)

 

 

...& If you were at CCI Summer Camp in the early '90's, you may remember 'Wild n Willin' which I built around 1991 when I was in Cumbria Capri Club based in Carlisle. (Sadly 'Wild n Willin' was wrecked by the new owner & is now no more....)

 

 

My 'daily' at the moment is this Mk1 Granada 3.3V6 pickup

 

 

... & I have BIG regrets selling this Cortina 2000GXL to fund the Capri's

 

 

So, Hello to all, see you soon!

Cheers

Paul

Once I've got the RV8 sorted in the Capri I plan to strip & re-build/re-spray the Pickup. Many many thanks for selling it back to me M8!

Love the red Mk1! Slotmags really suit it.

And that Granada looks awesome.Did you do the conversion?

[BudgieV8]

Red Mk1 Slotmags were off a Mustang & fitted just right.

Granny pickup (actually a Consul according to the V5) was converted in the early '90's. The wife of the guy who did it sent me a cd of the build pics years ago so I could see what was done - all VERY professionally done!
