Update of the Ford Capri 2.0S we saved from the breaker's yard

| Ford Capri 2.0S in Ford black |
Remember the black 2.0S Capri we had in at Tickover earlier this month? Originally we had planned to strip it for parts but after taking a look we were delighted to report that she was salvageable and we'd work to get her back on the road rather than in pieces.
Well, we've been hard at work to get it back to roadworthy and it's almost ready to drive away!
She passed her MOT with flying colours and we've stuck £30 of petrol in the tank. She's ready to be taken for a test drive, so what are you waiting for!

| A road-ready Ford Capri 2.0S ready to drive away |
As you can see quite a lot of time was taken to make her roadworthy again and get a bit of cash was spent too.
BUT she's lovely now, and has no rot issues, just some small amount of work round the rear arches and rear lower corners. So she's not mint, but still looks great, won't require a restoration, drives beautifully, and everything works properly.

This car is priced very realistically at £2000 - this is not open to offers, as we believe this to be correct for the condition.
We're just waiting for the DVLA to send the registration document and then she's ready to go!
Treat yourself - it's the Capri you've always promised yourself. And you won't be disappointed.
