Re: mk1 capri in trents
There was a link on retro rides about that capri...if its the same place . There was a datsun there too,70's model mint too
Some guy bought the datsun whole and chopped it up for spares and he's cutting everything off..and i mean everything !!
So at least its helping his other datsun.
Both were scrappage victims

Re: mk1 capri in trents
I worked in a scrap yard for a year a while ago, it's the untaxed motors that scare you the most! I had to crush some poor sods mk4 escort cabriolet with half leather recaros, RS turbo engine, mc rallying cossie kit & 17" rims on it! Also a 2 year old megane 16V!!! Pity the boss was a bit of a wa**er, 'cos i'd have loved to strip that cabrio!! 
If it wasn't so clean, i'd have burnt it by now!
