I actually think the Capri is 1974-1976 so it wasn’t handed down! I later into the 40s sadly 😂

It’s a dinky ERF merry weather with ladders that come off!

I had to crack the safe as no idea what the code was! Great news that the trucks of gold are still in there!

Some of them must have been passed on as I’m sure the captain scarlet car and some of the dinky stuff pre dates me!! Honest!

It is indeed the plod Capri. Very well played with that one!

Visiting my folks this weekend and was presented with a box of my old toy cars that I thought were long gone - memories with all of them - thought I would share pics of the stash!

That is a lovely thing - a Range Rover is my list at some point, as is a Disco!

Agree Friday is quietest. Hotels in centre of town are usually bit cheaper and train in is dead easy but doesn’t help if you are driving. As @inconsistantsays NEC hotels book up but some include Parking or pay there which has worked for me. Another year I tried to pay by card at the barrier and they couldn’t be arsed so let me through - not sure that would work every time! I’m 50:50 on whether i can go but its a great day out

Yeah I believe all the fittings and holes are there for seats and belts

I still have the steel if I need to start man and van business 😂

The glass roof panels transform the cabin - well chuffed!

Well did the oil and filters this morning and good check over all seems good so far. Went down to u pull it and got some replacement lights for the boot and glovebox and a jack kit which has a wheel chock which I thought was a nice touch. Also got some glass roof panels instead on metal it came with. All for £20 was chuffed with that! more cleaning this afternoon! I am tempted to get a roof with windows as it’s lines which may reduce noise. Also wondering about seats in the back but to be honest I’m liking the idea of a van at the moment!!

Yeah it’s the TD4. And the 4wd is all there too!

Here she is. Really pleased. Few bits to sort and clean but really good condition and only 66k. Been decently recommissioned after long time in slumber. Will do some more bits myself. Deep clean inside first. No idea why that’s where I start!

All going well deal done. Shite updates as drove both ways with shopping trip in Glasgow in the middle. Home soon for pics and proper inspection!
