Mini Metro nearly 30 years ago now !

 

@Gnasher - that is a quality motor - be worth some money now ! (Is that Bodie on the back seat ?)

 

Bodie & Doyle had the " S " i think this one was a Ghia if i remember right......only had it about a year anyway till it was somewhat removed from my care

 

Its mad the prices some of them old Fords go for these days is right.

With Dagenham Fords up the road it was Ford or nothing round here ......first car i legally owned was bought as a signing on fee by my old boxing manager,that and 6 months rent on the first house id ever lived in.......over 30 years ago now where has the time gone......loved this car thought i was the bee,s knees.....what a dick

 

After I got rid of the Escort, I had a 'orange' Capri with black vinyl roof, just the basic 1600, steering got a bit light though if you went over mph... lots of room around that engine for the wind to get under the bonnet. It had just had a respray before I got it, f*cking thing was rotten as a pear

Had loads of old cars bought to rally about the old bing, A35's and the like.( wish I had them now)

First car I had legal on the road was a 1972 mini pickup which I got as an mot failure for a bottle of vodka, about 1980.

Hit a lamp post and wrote it off whilst looking at fanny.

Just 'googled' 1975 Capri JOT 11P and seems after I got rid, it was used in an episode of The Chinese Detective... NOT the car, the numberplate seems it was put on a Mustang and used as a background prop...
