Hi there everyone in the classic ford ford world
My name is Owen and im in NSW, Im new to this forum but not Capri's
At the moment my family own's four Capri's. Two road going and two in the build, the cars on the road at this time are a MK3 2.0S in black,the body has a heap of stone chips on the front, but it is orignal, the paint and the trim is as it left ford in England
The other is a V4 GT XLR in white that is slowly getting restored,The engine bay and engine from the firewall foward is all brand new down to the grey wiring clips and every bolt and hose clamp. The two in the build is a fern green V4 GT XLR that i want on the road for Wagga and a bitsa 1600 with a lexus 4.0 v8,GTR brakes and a cut down BA XR6 ute diff. At this present time we have had the pleasure of owning 14 Capri's in the last 15 years.Will post pics when i work out how.
Cheers Owen

    No the Family was Sydney based. Is that your blue RS3100,with ibf plates, i have a picture of it in our garage, about fifteen years ago when four Melbourne cars came up to our clubs show and shine. The four cars were the blue RS, Scotty's red 1600GT, a wild pum V6 GT, and another car i cant remember.

    Well well, it is in fact the same blue RS. In fact, the wild plum V6 has been found and awaiting restoration too. The reason I asked if you lived in Geelong is, I know a family there who have 2 V4 capris and a black 2lt MK3, hows that for a co-incidence
