I've fallen in love with Cedric ; He sounds like he has dropped a cylinder, but lack of smoke suggests a fouled plug rather than anything else.....
He didn’t sell, who you gonna call? |

He didn’t sell, who you gonna call? I'm still working on Mrs. Valhalla....... She doesn't see the logic of having a working example of the exact same (well, previous model-year) car that I'm restoring each Christmas with my friend. The fact that he didn't sell is a bit perplexing, as from the details I see - which all suggest genuine patina, rather than tatty mods - he should appeal to anyone looking for a decent pre-War Rover.
We don't have that much disposible income, so I would have to sell this to the Mrs. as an "investment", but (as any married Man would know) that is an uphill battle. I have tried the "whinging-route", but I'm going to have to shift-up a gear or two to get my way.....  |

Cars just seem to appear around here, I find this the best way, pre negotiations take hours and hours (and as I always say about any purchase “You have to buy when available”), but with the element of surprise she usually takes it out on the dyson rather than me 😂 |

That Capri looks tasty and its nearly new car time If your on about the 1985 FORD CAPRI 2.8 INJECTION SPECIAL you'll have to dig deep they are fetching very strong money over the last few years.  No Reserve but IMO it'll fetch 25-30k. |

That's a money pit IMO.  It'll cost more than double what they are asking to make it anything like. |

That is BIG money! Classic car and motorbike prices have gone thru the roof. |
