tul66 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I've got a strange hankering for one of these. Must be the dried frog pills wearing off. (1984, so whatever launch spec lunacy was available) Certain they weren't launched until 1987 but a good choice anyway. Here's a picture of mine!

LostnotFound Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Although I wouldn't kick this out of bed, it wouldn't repay the favour and would definitely kick me off but none the less Car wise I'm another Capri fantasist, my year gives me the black edition that is a lot easier on the eye than some of the paint jobs you see on other 2.8s. danthecapriman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sofarsogood Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I used to own it. Registered 5 days after I was born. Obviously like any decent Autoshiter I sold it just before prices went ballistic. Sudsprint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scruff Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 The day before I was born, the Mini had it's 25th birthday party at Donington. I reckon a funky Mini 25 is just economically realistic for a 1984 version of myself.... doubt that "Miss Mini 25" is however.

ProgRocker Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 1977 Ford Granada: 1977-ford-granada-engine-wallpaper-9.jpg I think I was born in exactly the same month that the mark 2 Granada was launched (September). Ford also started selling the Cortina IV with the 2.3 V6 engine. Yep, I'll be 40 in less than 4 weeks time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I could have all sorts, MK2 Escort RS1800, SD1, MK1 Fiesta - but I'll have a 1977 Beetle, in this colour please. Long story but this is the one that started it all; DSC_0177_zpswitikazs by Me, on Flickr DSC_0178_zpsisj3hshv by Me, on Flickr (well not that one, but another one the same colour, spec and year) *edit* it was this one, which by shear coincidence I've just found a picture of on a Canadian caravan forum - I've been hunting for this car for years! danthecapriman and Dick Longbridge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Snipes Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 So I've basically cheated as it's strictly speaking an 82 Model (81 being the pre-production year) but I'm really struggling to find anything from 81 that I actually like. danthecapriman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 It's a bit of a cheat, I'm afraid, as the body ran for several years with detail differences, but the combination of that grille, bumper and headlight arrangement was used for only one year, and that was indeed 1973.
