This Mk3 Capri Laser was parked on the fringes of the show and up for sale. If you'd had just short of £3,000 in your back pocket you could have walked away with your very own British 'Mustang'.

When the last Capri was made in the Eighties, 1,886,647 cars had rolled off the various production lines. Most of those (more than a million) were the MkI, because the MkI sold well in North America and Australia, while the MkII and MkIII were only exported outside Europe (to Asia and New Zealand) in limited numbers. With the Beetle, Mini, Fiat 500 and the Scirocco, to name but 4 'old' cars that have been rejuvenated and revamped in recent years you do wonder if Ford are missing a trick by not having resurrected the Capri brand? Can't help but think that there would be massive interest in a MkIV Capri, especially here in the UK.

Another beauty from the Scirocco Register.

This is one of two Manta models that caught my eye at this particular show. This is a Berlinetta from 1985, but aesthetically I prefer the GT/E that was parked nearby ... well, I mean, it was red!

Another shot of this lovely old XR3i, which was conveniently parked on its own.

Yet another white car!

Beautiful car with apt plate!

Neat car ... neat registration too!

Spotted in Northallerton. DVLA shows it as being manufactured in 1985, but first registered 20 years later in 2005 so I'm guessing some kind of import?
