What do you drive ?

Recommended Posts

That's a beauty Steve92 I bought mine for £100's a few years ago and apart from putting a set of wheels on it is pretty much solid. I bought the alloys off gumtree for £40 and have since found they are Brooklands Capri wheels which are apparently worth a bit.

About 10 years ago I took a TVR S2 in, the car was knackered - rough bodywork, scaffold poles knocked down the chassis either side where it had rotted, engine dripping oil where ever it could find a gap, no exhaust etc etc. we sent the car off to auction and I can't remember the exact figure but it sold fro not a lot. About 18 months later the customer who px'd it in came and asked what we'd done with it because he had a guy writing to him chasing the history of the car up because he was looking at buying it for £8000!!!

many years ago when I was into banger racing we used to wreck mk1 cortinas, granada'a, capri's and escorts on a weekly basis, feel gutted now.

I paid £310 for mine as a non runner,   Sold it for £1500 after deciding I wanted a jet ski. I never did get the jet ski....the cabby's always rusted less than the hatches. Brooklands wheels are 15" and have quite a high offset to them.

Well I'm currently rocking an X5 4.4 Sport, Octavia 1.8T 4x4 (for the numerous trips to my sisters house in the alps, amazing winter cars!) And a Yamaha R1 as the weathers decent....sometimes
