Cannot believe the starting condition of that paintwork! God only knows how that had been cleaned in its previous life. Unbelievable.

This was most the condition after a trip to the dealer approved bodyshop and then valeting by the dealers
 
thats one amazing difference, the depth of shine is awesome! Did I see a Brooklands 280 Capri and (the white one) a Kat Capri by any chance?

Plenty of other old skool fords in the albums to matey

Ive just had a quick look at the Tickford and the 280, both are in brilliant condition! Ive not seen a 280 around in Derbys/Notts in a long time, a few years ago there was a couple local to work but I don't know what happened to them :)
