It was the most comfortable car I have ever driven.

And it really did shift.

[/quote]Doesn't that just show ALL the injection models though, not just any of a particular model ? Can't find the 2.8i listed.[/quote]

2.8 injection was the proper name as in V5. 2.8i is just a shortened version of the name, in other words same thing 8)

They were "Brooklands" Green. Model was actually called Capri 280 but was nicknamed a Brooklands (Brookie) because of the colour.

There's about 600 of them left. 4 of them in our club like the one above.

Less than that, 231 licensed and 186 SORN'd according to http://howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/ford_capri_280

There's def more than that, those figures aren't right :?
