A couple of pics I found - 1980's by the looks - of someone's capris ( I don't know who). May bring back memories....

Looks like almost completed projects Inc new paint or young cars getting detailed?

Yep - and not in original colours - as was the case so often back then - a lot of the 70's factory colours were out of fashion

Granddads Capri and one of Dads many Anglia's

Did we get mirrors in front guards here?

No

God, how many datona yellow facelifts did they make!

I just cant get enough of these pics !  Naked drop-dead gorgeous babes can be had anywhere/anytime nowadays, but these genuine old pics of history are rare and much appreciated !

One of my capris a very long time ago, and before I bought it. Originally a 1971 V6 Auto in Vermillion Fire. I bought it in the early 90’s from Emerald in Victoria. Photo is an old Polaroid, so it has deteriorated a bit (e.g. those aren’t bullet holes in the wall).

The capri behind it was also a V6 but had been converted to an RS clone with a Leyland V8.

It saddens me to see cars like this for no good reason...........no sign of accident

Photo taken on December 21, 1980 of me and my RS2000 out the front of my home. It was the first day on my full drivers licence.
My father funded the purchase of the brand new RS on the condition I was never to work on motor cars. It was the first car in the family.
I still own the RS (genuine 40,000km) however my father has long passed away.
I have lived at the same address continuously all my life and still have the RS t-shirt.
I rolled and wrote the RS off on Boxing Day 1981, however completely rebuilt it and painted it with no previous skills in the front yard under the car port at home.
The car has been stored since 1990.
Sometime soon I hope to have the RS running so I can drive it home and take another photo in exactly the same spot, by exactly the same friend who took this photo, with exactly the same camera.
