Classic 20/50 oil used.New performance air filterNew antifreeze.New wipers all round.New battery. Only things that let it down is the paint (Laquer peel has spoiled the finish, rattle can laquer and kurust applied to stop the weather getting at it) & the bumper chrome isnt brilliant. I had a few issue with the carb but all sorted now (replacement fitted). Pulls very slightly to the left (meant to buy front Polybush set but haven’t got round to it) and lets a bit of rain in when it’s bad weather (passenger footwell) Not too bad at all for a 34 year old Alloys fitted in pics on (Capri 6j X 13 with 185/70 tyres) are going on my next car but I could be persuaded to leave them on at extra cost It’s up for sale on it’s original steels (with the chrome embellishers) I would have taken pics with those on but I got a rare moment of sunshine so we rushed out to take some photos in the park!I’ll be taking the modern head unit out and replacing the original radio too It’s been a pleasure to own this car for the last year and a bit, I’d be keeping hold of it but the wife must be obeyed (she wants a Sierra so all is not lost!) but it’s up for sale It's in South London Offers around £1500 ono I have put another 6 months tax on it taking it up to end of October (like the MOT) Will keep the asking price at 1500 though
