Glad to see you're getting the Capri on the go again Jim. She was looking a bit dusty the last time I saw it. Can't remember if I told you I had this Tickford Capri sitting in the shed. Doesn't belong to me but I've looked after it for the owner for the last 20 years. 9600 miles from new

Some more pictures as requested:

This was number 18 of 100 built; February 1984, pretty basic build, no leather seats.

Image
A Brooklands I had some time ago with only 17,000 miles.

Image
There were three Tickfords in Orkney at the same time. The other two both belonged to a friend of mine.

Image
The nasty looking red strips were removed some time ago.

Very nice, based on early 2.8i hence the pepperpot wheels and cloth seats as standard.

Yes Ruddy,

It is indeed Hopetoun House.

Well spotted.

I've owned it for about 25 years. The grounds are a handfull to keep tidy.
