The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

You could get a real car with air con, brakes, proper door locks for half that. Low mileage though  :y

Wouldn't  go more than 3000 for it. Probably make 6000!

I had one of these in white for a while. Drove it all over France, Switzerland & Germany in the late 70's. About 83bhp IIRC?

If I had a classic Ford from that period ......I'd go for a 1972 Mk1 Capri 3000E, complete with the period BVR .... :y.

True. Trouble is i learned to ride a bike about 35 years ago.

  Learning to pass a test is going to be a bitter pill to swallow when i may well have more miles under my belt than the "expert".."teaching" me! ::)

As suspected, some old clapped out pile of crap that should have been skipped long ago...

...but, ooh, well, now then... Hang on... Oh FFS... WHERES THE ENGINE? Is it in there? or a pile of old pipes and rubbish dumped in a heap.  ;D


Do I like it because it's black though...?  :-/ thinking a nice v8 and drive train in there with some decent boots on...

... No it's because it black isn't it!  ;D

Not bad for a ford Guy.  ;)  :y
