CAPRI NEWS 2009
The Classic Motor Show
NEC Birmingham
was once again a resounding
success
We were proud to display 4 Mk1
Capri's on the REGISTER club stand and each one a credit to their
owner. Pictures in this months magazine . Also a warm welcome
to all the new club members.
The final Capri 40years outdoor show was held
at Brooklands Weybridge Surrey
Thanks to Kevin and his team for a
superb day out at a first class venue. The sun shone down on
209 Capri's as well as Concorde. We are glad we didn't miss this one.

The car show of the
year : The CLASSIC MOTOR SHOW NEC Birmingham
NOVEMBER 14/15/16
Great to see so
many Capri Mk1 owners at the BIG BRRRRM Show nice talking to
you all.
The Capri Mk1 REGISTER the club for
Capri Mk1 owners had a fantastic stand at this huge show. Spanning
4 halls plus the MPH show it made for paradise for all car, bike
enthusiasts. Go to the forum for all the latest
news and pictures of the club stand.
At the London Ally Pally show we had room for
only 2 cars but still two real crowd pullers. We hardly stop at
these shows as everyone seems to have something to say about the Capri,
which is great as we like talking about these great cars.
Pictures can be found on the
associated webpage and/or forum.
The Race Retro show had several racing
Capri's on display this year - we seemed to have opened the door for
them by taking a stand last year at this show. Here we met racing
driver Neil Bray, a unique person who has overcome major obstacles to be
able to follow his love of racing in his Mk1 Capri.
We saw Neil in action at Castle
Coombe racetrack Easter Bank Holiday Monday racing in his red Capri, I'd
like to say he won the race but a slight wobble put him into 3rd place
in a hotly contested race.
We bumped into several club members
down at Coombe who too were enjoying a day at the races.
News 2007
The London International Car Show at
Alexandra Palace London. A 1600 GTXLR and a 3000GT, two stunning,
good looking cars on the club stand and lots of interest from the public.
Great meeting and talking to Geoff and Ken from California. They said
they were very pleasantly surprised to find the Capri's on show and spent a
good amount of time with us. They also said they had Capri's 'back home'.
Nice to meet you guys.
The club had a stand at the Cortina MK1
National Day at Stratford Racecourse. Our cars took three out of 4
awards for best visitors cars,. Nice relaxing show
Older News 2006
We had a Club stand
at the Classic Motor show - what a fantastic show - huge. Our 3 selected
cars were reduced to 2 as the owner of one slipped a disc cleaning the car
for the show, he has our utmost sympathy. However our 2 car display stunned
the crowds. It is not often you see a 1300XL these days and in immaculate
condition the completely white car stood out like a shining beam. Add to
this a 3000E in the rarest colour - Cherry Red - what a contrast. this
unique 3000E is fitted with triple Webber carbs and lots of added extra's -
if you missed it you missed a huge treat. Great to see so many members at
the show apologies if we didn't have time to talk to you all.
2006 - The Town and Country Festival at NAC
Stoneleigh August Bank Holiday - one of the best shows in the Midlands with
over 40 Classic Car Clubs taking part. We had 17 Capri's booked in for the
3 days but sadly the weather kept some of them at home, we still managed 14
Capri's though and the chance to see again the rare Ford prepared Rally car
from 1970 - they were stunners every one. We are always keen to see more
Capri's at this event so make a note of it in your diary for next year and
come and join us. There is fun and entertainment for all the family and if
your car is on our stand you go in free. Book your Capri with us now for
August bank holiday 2007.
Alexander Palace show March 18/19 It was
nice that the Capri MK1 REGISTER was at last invited to the show, and not
only were our two official club cars here but also our 'Nobbies Nuts' car
and a member on the Surrey Club stand, so four MK1 Capri's to stun the
public.
