Just brought another v6 capri - interestingly the paint code reads SVO - the second one ive had


 

so educate me spud, what color is/was it originally?

The 70 model turned out to be reef green, have written to ford re the 72 model.
So I have an original frosted metallic pewter - a one off, a one off reef green and now this one. Just have to restore them .....

looks like you'll be busy for the next 5 yrs restoring capri;s
 
i think one is enough for me  ... after this one ill be going mk1 2dr escort or xa or hq depends on which is good enough when im looking for another project

I'm sticking to 1 car type - u accumulate a lot of parts for subsequent restos

Spud you must make your misses crazy or she is an exceptional piece of art work in a ladies body. I don't know how you do it. I still want to know what a wide body SVO means and can't find the answers to that. As for your three (I think that's how it reads) SVO plated Capris well done.

What do you mean  - im exceptional - trying to avoid her all of the time is hard work -  anyway, that's the whole point  - im not getting much done on the capris, the pewter one still isn't sprayed, the reef green one, the red one, the x pack, the black one, the RS etc -  all still derelict - shes always on the look out... she seems to know when im tinkering on them and comes looking .....

Tell me about it. I cant hide cause the misses runs the books. Makes me a very very nice man when I need something. Only joking but I can't hide at all. Honesty gets me in so much **** dammit.

Ha ha!
I've repeatably learned to stay single and just be good friends.
Being in a relationship the price is just too high.
