Long shot Anyone have a P100 bed in reasonable shape as close to Reading as possible! 🙏🏻

Pulled mine off and it’s in fairly bad shape.

Might be easier to get a better one than repair this.

Thanks, Jake

1999 Ford Puma 1.7
£1,250

MOT until April 2024 and passed with a clean bill of health

I bought this car on a whim to try one out But I have other cars and I rarely reach for the keys to this now.
I really enjoy how it drives, it handles super well and corners like a little go kart.
It’s a really nice honest car that’s for sure going to rise in value.

Some welding was completed and a new exhaust/rubbers fitted to pass recent MOT. No other issues found to fail on.
I replaced one of the coolant sensors as this was not working when I got it.
I have pulled the arch liners, cleaned, treated and protected the inner arches and underside with Lanoguard.
Arch liners cleaned and refitted.
New front drop links fitted.
Restored headlights, these were pretty cloudy before.
Everything works as it should, starts on the button, runs, drives, stops. No noises etc
I really only drive it locally these days, to the shops or around a few local back roads to enjoy the cornering

Bad bits
Some rust starting to show on arches like most of these.
Couple small scrapes, boot struts are weak. Interior clock does not work well.

I have some wheels to get rid of. Ive decided its highly unlikely I'm going to use them again.
Collection is from Bracknell, RG12
I'm happy to entertain offers and trades for Capri related stuff.

Ford Sierra 15" Lattice wheels x4 - £300
Pretty good condition wheels 4x108









Ford Capri 13" 'Ghia' or early sport wheels x5 - £350

4 wheels have been refurbished and are diamond cut. Couple have light signs of the alloy going 'fuzzy' due to sitting, but very nice clean wheels and wouldnt take much to sand out those spots. 1 used to throw in as a spare.









Ford Granada 15" 7 spoke wheel x1 - £40

Could do with being cleaned and refurbished, but rare wheel




Ford Supaslot 13" 4x108 6J wheels - £175

1 wheel has some minor kurbing, 1 wheel has some more serious kurbing.
2 wheels are pretty good
Tyres are cracked a bit but do hold air, Size currently on wheels 185/60 13”

SUPASLOT
Made in UK
CRW/006 stamped on rear













Ford Capri 13" RS 4 Spoke wheels - £150



I have piles of 2.8 Capri special 13" 7 spokes as well. Maybe 16 of them so if anyone wants you can have your pick - £30 a wheel

I have another few sets of less desirable wheels i need to dig out and photo. Escort/Mondeo so keep an eye on the thread

A have a few Capris. You might be able to tell by my name.
Every year theres a new article about a new Capri. And Ford even said they wouldn't be officially a few years back.

I find it hard to believe they would bring the Capri name back, in the form the news is suggesting. They already have the Mustang in Europe now.
But i guess they struggle coming up with new names, reusing the Puma and even Cougar by sneakily naming it the Kuga

If they do reuse the name and decide to put it on anything other than a sleak fastback shaped small car with C shaped rear windows. Then its not a 'real' Capri.
The Capri name has been used for other vehicles like the Capri they released in Australia which was a rebadged Mazda and the consul Capri and they are not thought of as a Capri.

Maybe ill take one of mine to the local Garage and get a loan of the new one for a day for a test drive.

I'm skeptical the name will come back, certainly as a SUV sized vehicle.

Anyway heres mine

Looks great that, must be tricky to get a car on tho!

That enclosure looks a bit big! Taking up unnecessary space if you ask me. I have the same unit, and its not that loud with the exhaust straight outside (I do hope your picture was just a test and you don't have the exhaust gasses staying inside!)
Especially with music and the odd big of grinding.

Ran mine today for a bit in my double garage, heats everything up nicely. I throw it on 30-45 minutes before i head out so it can get a head start
I tried to run it for the first time in about a year a few weeks ago and got error warnings. Turns out the glow plug had cracked, even though id not moved it or knocked it since last using it. Quick replacement and good as new.

I used Viscount Vince, would recommend. Good bloke, will be using again

He even picked up the stuff from my mates place in Texas personally and then i collected from his yard when arrived here

Bump still looking for something cheap

Missed out earlier in the year on an auction by £50

Ask him how much he thinks is fair. Hes likely going to under value himself.

Give him more and tell him he was worth it, if he did a good job
