angie280 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Thank you, just lots of little jobs here and there for us to complete over the winter then hopefully back on the road next summer in time for the 30th anniversary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angie280 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Glad to hear that Dales. This will be a labour of love getting Dad's baby concourse (or as close as) again. New battery and she started first time....and what a sweet sound! ☺ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Those done in memory always feel so much better and more proud than any other restoration Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yunii Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 My mate few yrs ago had the 280 Brooklands edition. It was truly awesome & pristine. Yunii 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue2 Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 My brother had a few capris years ago. He started with a red & silver 1.6 Calypso (sadly got broken due to no one wanting it), then had a Black 2.8i which he found out had suffered huge accident damage in its past, after he crashed it but rebuilt it then sold it on (then got smashed a 3rd time). He then had another black 2.8i which he sold about 10 years ago to a guy who said he was going to restore it & has been SORN ever since. He misses his capri's but every time something broke, it went off the road for several days & he needed the car every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angie280 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Bless he didn't seem to have much luck with his Capris!😕 The Brooklands 280 photographed was my Dad's since 1993, but was Sorn since 2011 or so. He passed away (too young!) in September so I have taken her on as a little project. Not a lot needed on her thankfully before she can take to the road again in the spring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
