Was going to get one for my first car

Absolutley stunning example as well , in silver it was the GTE model as well with brown n orange Recaro's...

Go for it Paul....

Didn't actually end up getting it , got gosumped at last minute...

Ended up with a 1.6 Capri Lazer.....with 2.8i interior and wheels...

Now theres a thought , what about a capri 3.4 sport or was it 3.2 or 3.0, in that orangey/yellowy colour , or the 2.8 Brooklands was anice car as well, or just the 2.8i
