Or was a mate of mine had a roller shutter door fail (or operator error ) when taking his 2.8 Capri out. Oops

Lucky to get away with just that damage

My sympathies, one of my all time favourites. Insurance write off?

Had 2 Capri's. A 3.0 Ghia and 3.0S. God loved those cars, pleased it's an easy repair, would have been a massive shame to loose such a lovely old Ford.

A lovely Capri , love those cars , hope he gets it back to being perfect

Shame about the damage but it could have been a lot worse. BTW nothing to do with me

Sad to see a banged Capri - had a professor who loved these. Not many here in the states.

Europe's take on the Mustang I believe though only going up to a V6 not sure if we had a V8.

When I first read the thread title Dave, initially I thought you had got one.

My dear old dad had a copper bronze 1.6 and loved it. The "other" Capri from the 80's in Oz was a real lemon. The link is to a review of one for sale in Oz a few years back. https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/from-the-classifieds-1970-ford-capri-gt-49590/

Lucky to not turn the Capri into a Polo

Called the Mercury Capri in the States, sold through the Lincoln / Mercury dealers and they only got the V6 (strangled) I believe only South Africa got V8s as a limited run of 500.

Spoke to him today, advised him to get the maintenance records for the roller shutters doors from the owner he rents the space from. Should be carried out annually.

Is it a manual or electric door ? Accidents can happen. At the ZedShed one Saturday a mate called to get a headlight bulb fitted and I sent him off in my Z4 while we did it. He mistakenly pressed the garage door remote thinking it was the car fob. Luckily I was standing next to the switch inside the garage and hit stop as the door started to come down towards a Z3.

Not sure mate, don't think so. Up/stop/down buttons. Just came down when reversing in ....... he says.
