alec hafele Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 Hi All, my name is Alec and the wife and myself have a 1985 Capri 2.8i Special. I retired last April and we both decided to have a project car. I have always been a petrol head and have owned nearly 200 cars since 1967 when I passed my test. Back in the '80s we had two new Capris, and '81 Calypso 1.6 and an '83 1.6 LS but in those days we couldn't afford a 2.0 S or a 2.8i. So the retirement project had to be the 2.8i. A few years back I suffered a back injury so I am afraid the car is bought and not built, however is has 63k genuine on the clock and has never been welded. I have all the paper history right back to the purchase invoice on 14/8/85. My intention is to keep the car as stock as possible and whilst it is almost up to concourse I intend to use year round, so no SORN or hiding in the garage over the winter. Anyway glad to be here Cheers Alec
