    that looks nice, the alloys suit it down to a t!

    What make are they, Ford didnt do a split rim four spoke from memory (going back to when I had mine ~ 1989)
     
  8. Wheels are "image" i bought them years ago before split rims became the norm.
    Cheers for the comments.

  11. In the states we never saw these U.K. Australia models and variations. I marvel at them ....Especially the underpowered Motors.
     
  12. We're sold as Mercury Caprice 's in America - surprisingly more sold there than people would expect!
     
  13. Caprice was Chevrolet . Capri ( Mercury) was the same body as the mustang . I had a 86 convertible gt 5.0 mustang about 10 years ago in the Florida keys.. I paid $800 for it. It had a blown 5 speed manual transmission. Put the transmission in and some new tires. Boy that car really moved . Here’s a photo. My bikes in the way though . Sorry ...... 289B1B91-40EB-40F6-8716-77FFC55D1D6B.jpeg
    Here’s a 86 Capri .Same frame same etc. except for the trim around it was different. A56AAB93-E9A3-484C-9C6C-0C537A462B79.jpeg

    Love the wheels. My favourite Ford would be a mk2 escort.

    Same. Think mine had a vinyl roof that I hated at the time... would love it now. Must be an age thing!
     
  16. You needed bigger motors to cart those hideous bumpers/fenders around that you insisted on.

  17. There’s beauty in ugliness. Buick Was notorious for their ugly bumpers.
