    The ad says power steering is easily fitted at a cost of about €200.
    Anybody tell me where??

    That's weird, I could have sworn they all had power steering as standard. My father bought a B3 like this one brand new in '91 and it was the bottom of the range 1.6. He wasn't a man for paying for optional extras apart from metallic paint. And it did have power steering as I remember well towing with it was so much easier than with our previous car which didn't have PS. The 1.6 kind of succeeded the 1.8 mid life though as the base model, so maybe it got PS then as standard

    Great cars though and have aged pretty well too.

    That capri looks like a nice car but seats are awful. Nowhere near a 22k car

    He only says GT five times in the ad... In other words, another overpriced, spray over the "repairs" restoration and shift her on to the next eejit... I've heard of the D factor in cars but that's just taking the piss.

    In fairness, I think you should read the ad again. He states the car is a Mk1 Capri..... nor a Mk1 Capri GT.
    He mentions that the car has been fitted with GT 'features', spot lamps, wheels, etc.
    Be he does not claim the car is a GT.

    Your car by any chance? Maybe unkels? You're both kissing each others arses over this one... The car is a gipfast special worth barely more than what the detailer was paid to cover it with car pro gunk or whatever they're using these days.

    Why would you think it's my car ???
    All I'm doing is pointing out what it states in the ad. You seem to be very upset about the car for some reason. If the vender is telling lies, and the car is as you say it is, then whoever views it with the intention to buy, will soon figure it out for themselves .

    Not my car and I have no interest in it and if I had that sort of money, this would be the last car I would buy. That said, no need to be a dick, dude. We just answered your question if the car was a GT or not. The answer is: it's not. And the seller never claimed it was.

    Good price for a 69 Roadster. Needs a bit of bodywork apparently, but it looks great in the pictures!

    An almost brand new E32 740i. A total of 482 miles on the clock. It's in Poland, but it's RHD as it was ordered by a UK man, but he never took ownership of it.

    Edit: Should have posted this to the foreign bargains that I'm not buying thread instead.

    Pity, looks tidy enough in the pictures. I’ve seen worse looking examples on the road!

    I don’t think they’re a particularly easy car to work on when it comes to bodywork

    I'd say the clue is in the asking price!

    Moggies are not expensive. I picked one up 4 years ago for way less than that.

    That Rover looks great on those wheels, but the chrome sill covers would worry me for the same reason chrome arches on an old Merc do!
