@thecarfactoids @neilmbriscoe @t2stu @DarraghMcKenna @TopOfTheTower @StvCr @autocar @HagertyUK @PracticalClass @_theintercooler Absolute class 😁 and great teamwork from you two. The ad highlighted its lack of anti-lock brakes. But then it was the 1980's.

@RedBSierra Roof bars?

@thecarfactoids @neilmbriscoe @t2stu @DarraghMcKenna @TopOfTheTower @StvCr @autocar @Rootes_Group @avengerSunbeam @jertownsend @mrtn76 @GeorgeCochrane1 @PracticalClass Almost as confusing as a modern dash!.... But not quite.

@thecarfactoids @neilmbriscoe @t2stu @DarraghMcKenna @TopOfTheTower @StvCr @autocar @BMMuseum Didn't realise there was an older generation Capri.

@thecarfactoids @neilmbriscoe @t2stu @DarraghMcKenna @TopOfTheTower @StvCr @autocar @Rootes_Group @avengerSunbeam @jertownsend @mrtn76 @GeorgeCochrane1 @PracticalClass I liked the look of it. I remember my pals Dad having a dream brown one then, probably about 1980 getting an aquamarine one that looked well fancy by comparison. Must've been a run-out model.

@Retromania4ever Got any more info about this one?

@thecarfactoids @neilmbriscoe @t2stu @DarraghMcKenna @TopOfTheTower @StvCr @autocar Volvo looks old even in this company. The Audi would be tempting.

@Carpervert I just like that the man in the diagram was annotated as being a cunt. 😊

@thecarfactoids @neilmbriscoe @t2stu @DarraghMcKenna @TopOfTheTower @StvCr @autocar @_theintercooler Ferrari Testarossa was indeed on my wall. Next to a white Lambo Countach a Porsche 928 and of course, Sam Fox.

Humber was the posh variant? Hillman more mainstream? Like Vanden Plas and Austin?

@JonathanPieNews Doesn't he watch @PeterStefanovi2 ?!

@thecarfactoids @neilmbriscoe @t2stu @DarraghMcKenna @TopOfTheTower @StvCr @autocar @BMMuseum Was the O series available as a 1700 aswell as the 2000?

[Ally Mo @AlastairMorris7]

@martinjbrowni @thecarfactoids @autocar @neilmbriscoe @t2stu @DarraghMcKenna @TopOfTheTower @StvCr @BMMuseum Agreed. A cracking example. I shudder to think what a Karmann inspired version would have looked like. Though I'd still like to see one.

[Ally Mo @AlastairMorris7]

@thecarfactoids @neilmbriscoe @t2stu @DarraghMcKenna @TopOfTheTower @StvCr @autocar @BMMuseum It must've looked very modern in 1970. Much like the Sierra did when it was launched in 80 something.
