Introduction

Post by Paultheotherone »

Hi, around 2007 I purchased a white 1984 2.8i Capri destined for the scrap yard so after 8 months of hard graft of replacement panels, full respray and new graphics she was ready for an MOT and passed.
Sadly I then sold her on.
Last month I purchased this 1972 South African import 🙂

Welcome to the den of depravity.
Is the SA spec much different to the UK one?

Thank you. I’m not sure about the spec although mine looks identical to a Perana and it’s has next to no rust 🙂

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?
