The seats...... What a let down on an 18k car. Why not fix/replace prior to advertising?

I quite like it, not sure that I should but there's clearly been plenty of work and money thrown at it and as said before, I bet it shifts.

Still, at the price it'd have to be someone who really really wants it.

Having looked at it more It'd only be worth buying for shed money really. The more I look the more I see bits that don't fit nicely. The stance is wrong, the body is overly exaggerated. New seats required. Who knows what else is may be 'iffy' that you can't see? (not saying it is: for all I know it's mechanical perfection, but what you can see doesn't instill confidence in that idea.) £18K!!!

(Must admit that I didn't even look at the asking price before)

'Nuff said.

Only two Fords in my world:- 1962 MK2 Zodiac and 1961 Ford Classic. With a lot of help restored both of them.

I've had my share of old fords MKI Escorts, MKI / MKII Capris & Granadas, MKIII MK IV, MKV cortinas. Ford econoline dayvan.
& a few pre the blue oval badge. 65 Ford Thunderbird & 72 Ford MachI Mustang convertible. Pic of my Thunderbird towing the Mustang home on a trailer around the late 80's early 90's.
Funnily enough this was a find from Southport too. It took a bit of detective work to find the location but I won out in the end & got it for a decent price.

The backend just don't look right on that Capri, I have a couple of sets of rear 69 Ford Cougar rear light sets that was in the shelby Mustang at the time too, they would have looked better in there.
