Who won the OLD SPICE Mk1 Capri in a draw  - I did.  The car is in need of TLC physically but the engine is sound, we drove it from Evesham old spiceto Devon and it didn't miss a beat,  going to have some fun with this one.  It has had 11 previous owners and though it is looking a bit the worse for wear somewhere along the way it must have been looked after  to have survived to 40 years.  If any previous owner is reading this then please get in touch with us at emailus@caprimk1register.com, we'd love some history.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Capri Power at MALVERN August - did you miss it?  Shame as it was a great day out with more cars this year at this great Capri get together.  My own car was the oldest and also won the Best Capri award with Capri Power winning. sunshine, Capri's and pleasant company - what more can you want.

 If you are doing  nothing on September  5 then get along to Littlehampton where there is a huge custom and classic car show taking place.  Club entry is free (book now through club) individual entry is £10 per car.  It will be a great family day out as there is music courtesy of the support from the local radio station, food, drink  and much more to enjoy. the first event of its kind at this venue and already 600 custom cars are booked in, don't miss it.

 

 Malvern Classic Car show August 1st, 28 Capri's on show with Capri Power, the weather was fine and warm and everyone relaxed and enjoyed the ambience. 

 

Cars in the Park is a show we haven't attended for some years so weather looking good we gave it a whirl.   We had left it too  late to book a club stand, so  we all met in the car park and parked side by side  - a total of 8 Capri's.

This year there was no entry charge, no plaques, no trophies and no arena but they did run a 4x4 course.

There was a collection for Help for Heroes, but this was voluntary.

 Overall we had a relaxing day out.  But sad thing is they don't know if it will run again as the 'ELF and Safety have stepped in and are making it almost impossible for people to organise a good event.

 

 

New show at Warwick Castle on Father Day, fantastic venue, only problem is pre 1973 cars only, so as my Mk1 is 1969 we were eligible.

Only four Fords at the show, ranging from a 1923 model T a 1955 Consul, a 1966 Mustang and the newest Ford my 1969 Capri. 

However there was the Batmobile which children of all ages (us included) had great fun having a sit in.  The Austin powers 'Union  Jack' Jaguar was also on show as was the James Bond green Jaguar.  We will post pictures soon.

It was a great day out and perfect for families, so make this one to look out for next year  - if your Capri is 1973 or earlier. 

 

Classic Ford Day at Santa Pod.  Starting off early we met some of the club members on a service station alongside the A14 then drove in convoy to the showground, picking up a couple more Capri's on the way.

As usual it took some time to enter the showground and as we were well to the back ( cause we booked late) we had to negotiate the other clubs to reach our spot on the tarmac but near to the end of the strip.  The heavy skies were threatening rain all day, but  then late afternoon the heavens opened, rain like stair rods washed the site and left some traders and cars standing in several inches of water.  

Up until then it had been a really nice day out. 

We had a line up of 9 Capri's.  Tony had travelled all the way from near Newcastle in his well know BP Capri.  It was nice to see Martin's Mk1 for the first time and all the other Capri's dotted around the site.  It does seem that people travel along way to this show.  So it was a shame that getting out proved so difficult as well as muddy and stony.         Ah well home to getting out the buckets and cleaning several inches of mud off the cars before they are put away.

We noticed that there were far fewer Capri's at this event than in previous years, was it the weather or are Capri's in the decline, or are people just fed up with the show scene?
