The New Arrival

The Capri was just fantastic! I loved driving around with my bum only 8 inches off the floor peering over that huge bonnet. My wife hated it (although I think it's grown on her). She wanted something sensible like a Cavalier. Anyway, life settled in with our Capri and everything went well for a while. I had a warranty with Booth and Phipps and they agreed to do some jobs on the car: the rear differential was slowly leaking oil, and the front shock absorbers were past their sell by date. I have to say that Booth and Phipps were very good to me, especially their mechanic who was a Capri fan. He even gave me a set of locking wheel nuts for the alloys.

The Capri was running like a Swiss watch and on a good drive we were getting 34 miles to the gallon out of her. One drawback is that she only ran on leaded fuel which meant the petrol bills were higher. Minor problems occurred in the first year such as a split radiator (the AA did it for me - a replacement radiator was £40) and the exhaust blew a hole ( complete system with 2 year warranty was £65).
