Congratulations on the purchase Keith, it looks like persistence paid off in the end. You should get many years of enjoyment out of that.
I do enjoy seeing a totally standard and correct capri  but what Im really into is a capri with sensible period modifications.  Am looking forward to those pics,      cheers,...ron.

Hi all, now I am pissed off. Returned from holidays to find brake fluid has dripped on the white Capri bonnet from the Perana. I was having problems changing gear in the Perana and sent it to a mechanic to fix. He adjusted it and gave it the all clear and also said leaking slave cylinder could be the issue but came back with the all is good. Any way now it won't go into gear and I parked the white Capri underneath the yellow Perana which is on a hoist. Went and looked today to find the clutch fluid on the bonnet and it doesn't look pretty. So any suggestions on how to minimize the damage, I know the paint will be ruined but will it get into the metal and can I stop it before that happens. Keith

Hi all, now it's time to stir the pot. The misses and family love the white capri and we have been enjoying it. It's not completely original but it turns heads and for some reason I really like it in white with black stripes. Now the one thing ( aside from cup holders) that the family want would be air con. So not for this Capri but the v6 I'm building up which I will be updating as much as I can. Does anyone have suggestions of fitting air on to one of these. And can it be hidden? Bear in mind this white one stays how it is and the Perana will only age better as original but which would I drive on the hot Sunday afternoon if their was an option. Keith

This is the original thread on this car. Most here should know it well.
