MAY BE GIVING UP THE RELIGION

[crapichris]

think it has got to the stage that the old arthritus is getting the better of me and I may have to consider a more comfortable ride. The old Capri is just to much for me now - no power steering,  heavy clutch, getting out of the damn thing. As for maintenance - that can only be done on good days and they are getting less and less each month now.

So if I sell what is a reasonable late 2.0s going for ? No rust, new wings, all welded up, new brakes, refurbed wheels, 4-2-1 manifold and 2 1/4 inch exhaust sytem and K&N filter. Ideally needs a respray but ok if you don't look too close. Told by a local classic car garage worth around £2500. Appreciate your help.

Best to look on fleebay,gumtree

And see what they sell for,try and find one in the condition yours is in

As said what they SELL for,not much the seller wants,

Get a 2.8 ,,,,power steering

had thoughts about one with power steering or even having mine mod'd but doesn't get through the other issues of working on it. And to me being able to work on it is one of the plus's of owning an OSF. Shame but definately got F.O.R.D. stamped all the way thru me like a stick of rock. Don't think this arthritus is gonna get any better and only puting of the inevitable me thinks

There's a mk1 fiesta for sale on here

Easier to get out of and the wheels where thin do didn't need power steering

But I know what you mean about working on them,that's the fun,and you feel better when you fix it yourself

the quack has confirmed that getting in and out of Capris just ain't any good for me anymore. As for working on them - LET'S NOT GO THERE!. So the Capri is up for sale very very reluctantly in the sale section. Been into Capris for near on 20 years, having owned a mint 1.6 laser, and then the oldest Mk1 on the road (Jimbo bought that off me), and then the 2.0S that is now for sale. Also when I was younger owned an Anglia as my first car and a Mk2 Cortina back in the 80's.

Enjoyed working on them and driving them but both is becoming a chore and whn the old bones are at their worst impossible so time to hang up the the furry dice

Get another Cortina ,Plenty people would help with maintenance on here bud
