A few weeks ago I made the mistake of dragging my heels when the car of my 18 year old wet dream came up for sale.

In 1980 as an 18 year old I bought the first of my four Ford Capri’s.......a 1600 GT in Sebring Red with black vinyl roof for £1095.

I loved that car and it’s cool reg number of WOO 922L.

A fantastic restoration model in the exact same specifics came up for sale in June and I spent 24 hours too long making up my mind and I was gutted when it had sold.

£11,995 might seem like a lot compared to the £1095 I paid 40 years ago but these are going for £20k to £35k in some cases now so I know it’s a good investment.

I’ve tried all the usual internet sights including classic car sights but I’m struggling to find one in the right colour and spec.

Any advice?

Does anyone know anyone who deals in this sort of stuff or anyone that owns one?

I know it’s a long shot but it’s an itch I have to scratch,

Cheers.
