LOL, there may even be a car on the horizon in 2017... though very likely not Bodie's. :D

Wasn't this car up for auction in the last year? Or was that another silver Capri?

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

No, it was actually this Pros vehicle. There was provenance and everything when it sold in April, 2016 at an auto auction. apparently it's in pristine restored condition. (Or yes, you're correct!) LOL!

Thanks! Happy New Year!

That's surely not too expensive!
*counts her money*

Well, maybe next year! :-)

But these are a very intersting articles. Good to see how much people value these things!

I do think a lot of people of that era have worked hard and saved, and are now able to buy things they admired back then. I'm sure somebody loves that car!

Happy New Year! Thanks for stopping in. *tea?*

Yes please. Black, no sugar. :-)

What?! And the sale was at Duxford! Just down the road... from where I used to live! If only I'd stayed put for a couple more years...!

It would have been fun to attend, and watch the car go to somebody else! But still fun!

Makes my 13 year old car look bad.

What a wonderful picture of the car that our lads rode in so many times. Love to have 4.5 as an extra added benefit.
Thanks for the post.

Somebody did a fabulous job with the restoration. It looks better than new! Would it be nice to have the lads driving you around? Thank you!
