Looks a bit like the Tickford Turbo body kit.

I thought that.  Never did like the genuine Tickford version anyway, thought even at the time made the whole car look Chav even then !.

Best kit for the capri had to be the X or XX-pack.

Body kits in those days must have killed aerodynamics.

I once owned a Volvo 850 and the previous owned stated was Thomas (Tommy)Trinder  but the only problem was i died about 20 years before the car was made and i doubt if he lived Lyon France.These cars advertised as having a famous owner are not worth any more money without written proof.My cousin's name is B Sheene and he rides bikes.Anyone want to buy Yamaha G wiz 50cc scooter owner by Mr Barry Sheene only £10000.00  bargain

Only ever drove 1 capri, picked it up to valet it, was a 2.8i special, looked nice, but the driving position was terrible.

Never heard that name regarding the Capri, which I remember with fond memories, the Police (Traffic) only stopped using them because the boot was too small for all the kit they needed..... :y :y

Mind, that bodykit looks terrible..... and he would have been in his late 40's or thereabouts, what was he thinking.... :D :D :D

I'm a Great Fan of Capri's but that looks Crap.

Tickfords were nice but were Only White iirc :-?

It's very rare to see a 2.8i mated to an auto box!
