'fitted with new Firestone tyres'

That tyre was made in mid 1998 at best. Mid 1988 is also a possibility, but I’m not sure 60 section tyres were that common then.

Typical. I drove right by there back in August. I’m back home hundreds of miles away now.

IIRC, '60' sections mainly became a thing when the likes of the XR2/XR3/2.8 Capris were new, so mid-1980's no danger.

I was looking at the 3-digit DOT date code “248”, which is week 24 and either ‘88 or ‘98. I was driving around in a VW Beetle on 155 R15s in 1988, so exotica on “low profile” rubber was well outside my wheelhouse back then. 🤣

I'm sure that 1980's tyres 'originality' factor is going to mean everything as you power off straight into a ditch.

It’s a Capri, it will anyway regardless of tyre choice.

Looks to have stood next to that caravan, maybe for quite some while. There's probably more structural rigidity in the colour coded towing rope than the entire car.

Good God, if there was ever a reason for scrap prices to go through the roof, that hideous thing is it.

That is something I've always wanted!

Its road registered and could (with a flashing amber light) be driven on A roads home... From Morecambe... At 6 MPH ( thats about 70 miles /day flat out for 12 hours a day driving)

A proper road trip.

Film it and pop it on YouTube (just dont buy any trifles)

Shame about the NSU, hopefully some bits off it will help another one.

Doesn't quite explain why your trying to make a pair of undies using one half of each rider's after the crash though, M8.

If it was '98 the the DOT code would have a little triangle next to it.
That tyre was made in June 1988!
