I saw this 2 weeks ago in Morrisons car park West Kirby. Looked to be in very good condition at a cursory view. I wonder what it would be worth??Loved my V6 Capris in the 80's and enjoyed the Rally's I did in a Group 4 Escort but don't get the Crazy values of old Fords today.
4200 Coupé is a Fantastic Car and loved the two that I had even took the second to the other side of the World.

Having owned both a Jag and a Maser I reckon the significant difference between the two brands is parts availability and pricing … Maserati could learn a lot from JLR(?).Having watched Number27 content recently; those focused on the Jaguar he bought, the Masers arent so far removed from his experiences....MD wanted £10K IIRC to sort his XK. The sort of service items and costs that put folk off our Masers are not really any different from the JLR family from the perspective he was showing it. And purchase prices are similar broadly speaking...
Brits can be awful brand snobs but Im not sure it's as singular an issue with the coupes ( and GS's?) as all that !
I came away thinking that the problems were very similar honestly….Having owned both a Jag and a Maser I reckon the significant difference between the two brands is parts availability and pricing … Maserati could learn a lot from JLR(?).
A 3 litre Sport? 25k or there abouts?I saw this 2 weeks ago in Morrisons car park West Kirby. Looked to be in very good condition at a cursory view. I wonder what it would be worth??
Still good value when compared to EscortsA 3 litre Sport? 25k or there abouts?
But I couldn’t bring myself to buy either. Asking prices are too high when compared to Maserati; Dicky has a fabulous 3200 AC at not far off £25k and that has to be so much better than a Capri unless someone really wants to live out the Gene Hunt fantasy!Still good value when compared to Escorts
I often wonder how quick the novelty would wear off on a RS2000 that someone had paid £30,000 for. At the end of the day it’s a 45 year old car with 110bhp and hardly a design classic.But I couldn’t bring myself to buy either.

Off all the Cars I've had over the many years driving the ones that still have it areI often wonder how quick the novelty would wear off on a RS2000 that someone had paid £30,000 for. At the end of the day it’s a 45 year old car with 110bhp and hardly a design classic.
Nostalgia soon wears off when the rose tints are removed.
My 1600 Sport the same Phil. It was a cheap car with a little bit more power than a standard Escort.Off all the Cars I've had over the many years driving the ones that still have it are

Loved my Capris in the 80's thinking I was Bodie and Doyle but wouldn't have another today.
Absolutely spot on.My 1600 Sport the same Phil. It was a cheap car with a little bit more power than a standard Escort.
Slightly off topic but it does make me laugh when you read on that Pistonheads " My dad could've bought a Ferrari Daytona for £12000 in 1975" me thinking you could've bought 4 houses for £12000 in 1975.
