Just days to go to the Classic Car show at the NEC Birmingham - really looking forward to seeing the cars on our stand,  really fantastic this year - as always.  We are in Hall 5 stand 5-472

 

 

 

We have just renewed our Capri insurance with Footman James.  Happy with the cost and the level of cover, plus good discount for Capri Mk1 REGISTER members. 

 

If you are planning to go to shows in the Midlands this year then give Roger a call as he is organising club stands at some events.

 

We will be at shows such as Powderham Castle and Plymouth Hoe.  Big events.

 

  We would welcome other Capri owners to join us in displaying our iconic cars.

We have some great Capri's lined up for the Classic Motor show NEC Birmingham Nov 14/15/16

Last year we bought you 3 RS3100's - we were told we would be lucky to get one but Gareth came up trumps even getting us a barn find.

So what about this years display? 

We have the mythical 3000lt Carbodies Convertible  - not seen at shows before

We have a Ford Production Touring Car one of only 3 GXLs made at Boreham Wood, does XWC 713L ring any bells with classic racing fans, driven at one time by Prince Michael of Kent, Tom Walkinshaw, Jeremy Walton, amongst others.

and for those who like their Capri's bog standard, a well known Sebring Red GXL.

 

 

The latest edition of Capri Style , is now out, if you haven't received your copy then contact us

 

The article by Gareth in the September 2013 edition on improving dash lights was very popular, with many members commenting on it.  more about this can be found

 

June - Had a visit from Wim and Irma Capri fanatics from Netherlands - they made a detour from Dover to deepest Devon then  travelled up to the Classic Ford Show.  They brought with them  photograph albums of the Netherland Capri Club shows.  Still plenty of enthusiasm but like here fewer members.  Well worth a visit to their show in Netherlands, very friendly.

 

Congratulations to Dave - his black beauty was awarded 'Car of the Show' at Paignton sea front show July

 

POWDERHAM CASTLE  2 day show but went just  on Sunday.  It was a very overcast day but fabulous turnout of vehicles from all decades.  Judge said he loved my Mk1 Capri and if I had been there Saturday would have picked it as car of the show.........

 

Went to Radio Devon children in Need classic car show at Plymouth Hoe.  Arrived at appointed entry time of 11.00am  surprised  to find the place already full of classics.   1.00pm my Capri Mk1 was one of only 4 vehicles still on the Hoe, what had happened?  It rained and all the locals made a dash for home as soon as the dark clouds gathered.  As we had a 50 mile trip back we were gonna get wet anyway so waited to see if it would stop , it didn't and at 3.00pm it was all over.  Arrived home to find beautiful sunshine, neighbour said it had been sunny ALL Day  - THAT'S THE WAY IT GOES SOMETIMES.

 

There is a new show at the NEC on April 12/13th  The New RESTORATION Show tickets are available now tel 08448586758  club members discount RS14NC and membership number.
