Bit too expensive, even if it is worth it!

Not again!!! Is there something terrible wrong with this car that you don't know about until you buy it?

Brooklands Capris - 1000 odd made - around 500 or so left - A1 ones fetch £10,000+, but only got a standard 2.8i engine.
Tickford Turbo Capris - rarer - guessing 500 or so made guessing 250 left. (1 very sorry looking one at Johno's) A1 ones fetch £12,000+. Has a 2.8 turbocharged engine
Swaymar Capri's - holy Crap ...!!!!!! If only 2 are left then i'd guess £15,000+ upwards. Swaymar totally redesigned the heads on the engine, done away with the siamese ports 2.8 engine and end result is a 3.2 that breathes. This is a rare rare beast indeed. If i had up to £10k i'd buy it for sure, but of course with the vehicle being this rare you'd want it totally restored to it's former glory and thus you'd be looking at high maintenance no doubt. I'd wanna buy it and give it to Restore A Fords for a ground up restoration and this £10-15K motor would end up costing £30-40K. Phhwwwoooaaaarrr yes please ! Not too keen on the colour though - prefer the graphite grey colour on the 2.0s....

This car was a Brooklands and the owner and his mate drove down through the night from
Scotland in it, can't be anything wrong with it. Wouldn't want to attempt that journey in mine!

I fell in love with this car when I first saw it at the Ace. If I had £8k I'd rip his arm off for it and be driving it home now!!

That is one cool motor

Yep, £8,000 and a bit is a bargain. I'd have it as well.

Not one bid then.
