My Capri 1600GT XLR -69

This picture was taken in 1981 when I bought the car

A sad Capri lacking mouldings and almost all XLR parts. Paint was horrible once silver. Wrong wheels and electric system in total disorder! Drove it up from Östersund to Skellefteå where it was renovated


This picture was taken in the garage and it must have been sometime round 1995 

The car has Ghia wheels from a MKII and is painted in Chestnut brown. The engine is bored to 1700cc and the car has been fitted with a 5-speed gearbox from a Sierra. The aluminum wheels from a MKII makes the final touch!


These pictures where taken in the summer of 2001

The car was taken out after over 5 years of sleep outside Skellefteå! It work just fine after standing still for so long! a few days after these pictures was taken I drove it 800km to Stockholm with no problem of course! Hey it's a Capri. The first picture is with the winter wheels and the other taken shortly after with summer wheels! The car now lives with me in Norrtälje but i seek a garage for the car. Hard to find one though.
