Buying a ford capri - common faults?

I had a couple of capri's a many years ago, i had to replace the rear leaf springs on both cars & they can often snap without much warning !

And, yes... you will certainly learn a lot about car control, ..Try it in the snow next, don't forget a couple of bags of sand in the back though, or it won't go far in the snow !

Sound advice. In my Capri days I used two concrete slabs. I even left then in during the summer. I think it was a common trick by many BMW owners as well

so not sure if you still have this but i had a 2.8i Brooklands about 15 years ago and fitted this kit

and the handling improved no end.
