| Who's a lucky boy, I had a coupe version and those wider wheels really improved the overall look. |

[/It does look good with the 5.5 J wheels, the cope version is called the consul capri, see photo of mine under restoration below]
And my other classic

White classic nearly ready for MOT just got to fit, rear bumper,dampers,new tyres, check brakes, and paint wings.
Then hopefully I can sell the plate for money to complete my consul capri.

| Thanks Rick, classic goes ok, but front suspension very hard (bounces all over the road) I think that the front coil springs may have been reduced by a previous owner, got to investigate, may have to replace coils at some stage. Otherwise i am very pleased with it after 31 years off the road> |
