Hello all.
First of all, I don't know if this is the right section to post this! Secondly, I may very well just be a silly billy but...
Where have all the Ford Capri's gone that usually turn up on eBay??!!
Am I missing something here?! I have typed 'Ford Capri' into the search bar on numerous occasions in the recent past but nothing comes up (in the Classic Cars section at least)!!!
Are there just no Ford Capri's for sale??!! That can't be the case! I'm a bit flummoxed to be honest...
It's not that I can really afford to buy one, I just like to have a peek at what I can't have!
Any thoughts ( wondered if it was something to do with the numerous scam listings that prolificated the site for so very long)...?!

Ebay does this now and again, I bet if you put "Ford Capri 2.8" it'll find those, same if you put in "Ford Capri 1.6" or similar

As above, search results can be majorly random, I keep an eye on Cortina parts, some times a result will be 6000+, sometimes 600!
And just because it showe a listing the first time, it doesn't mean that it'll still be there when I search again, or sometimes it's listed twice!
They love to play games......🙄

..... I'm sure that after doing a quite thorough search for, say, Brake Discs - me going round once or twice/cross checking for mis-spelled and N.O.S. items....
I go back to an item and the 'Bay Monster' has deffo upped the lowest price from previously.... + If you are logged in it 'knows you are looking'!!

Knowledge is to know a Tomato is a 'fruit' - Wisdom, on the other hand, is knowing not to put it in a 'fruit salad'!

I also love the ' we've removed some results to bring you the most relevant' bit.
Roughly translates as ' we've taken out all the cheap ones that you might actually buy'!

I hate Ebay but it seems its a necessary evil these days, Look for a specific part, the you know will be there and you are inundated with 5000 items, with only perhaps 2 pertaining to be what you actually needed, do I need 4998 generic not what I asked for pieces of Chinese carp that have come up because they have absolutely no relevance to what you are looking for

Atmo V8 Power . No slicks , No gas + No bits missing . Doing it in style.
Austin A35van, very different------- but still doing it in style, going to be a funmoble

Still waiting for a viable alternative, I would have thought the monopolies commission would have taken an interest, particularly since they own gumtree too?
And I don't do bookface

Still waiting for a viable alternative Watch this space. I've been brewing a dedicated parts for sale thing for a while, still working out the fairest revenue model. |

Got me there, I couldn't remember either, and then I couldn't remember where I'd put them! Right, they're a bit smaller than Cortina GT/E ones, at 3.5 inch dia backs   Oh and they're negative earth too |

It is really weird...!!
When looking at the Ford Cortina's on the 'Classic Cars' section/filter I can see the link (in blue, just below the search bar) to Ford Capri's and even hitting that doesn't bring up any results!
All very odd...
