Events Programme

Events programme 2022

Finally following the pandemic we appear to at last be coming out of it and returning to some form of normality following an incredibly successful vaccination programme here in the UK.

2022 we hope to have a decent number of events to attend starting with the Practical Classics Restoration show at the NEC in March.


As it is the capri280 35th Anniversary year we look like having a fairly packed events calendar including hopefully a European Tour of up to 4 Capri shows in the Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg and Belgium depending on the Coronavirus situation in these countries.  

We also of course in July hold our own capri280 35th Anniversary event at the British Motor Museum. CCI National and August event plus the Classic Car show at the NEC in November and I am sure other events may become known to us as the year progresses.


We are however not twiddling thumbs, as always there are unseen activities in progress.

Currently we are concentrating on expansion of the capri280 spares availability through the Group. We are gathering core units of Radiators, Power steering rack and brake calipers. The plan being to offer an exchange service of these items for fully refurbished units.

Once we have these we will look at starter motors, alternators and clutches.

If you can help by providing old salvageable units we could use please get in touch.

Capri 280 Group at Ford Motor Co.

During 2019 the Ford Capri celebrated its 50th Anniversary!
We are proud that the Capri 280 Group were invited by Ford to attend 3 of their events to celebrate this special year.

We attended the first at the Niehl factory in Cologne, Germany in June. Then Warley, Brentwood Ford Head offices In July. 

Next we went along to Ford’s Dunton SVE   
Operations plant in August to another big turnout of Capri cars.

Ford employees were most helpful also with our Bye bye Capri recreation at the recent NEC Classic Car Show where we were allowed access to Ford’s archive material using previously unreleased photos of the 280 on the assembly line at Niehl for which we are most grateful.


Winter Programme

With the show season over its time to prepare. Capri 280 Group far from resting on our laurels are busy with our plans for growth of the group.

We are looking to grow by attracting more Capri 280 owners to the group.

This new website is part of those plans by

appearing to a wider audience than our Facebook page allows.

We are also seeking financial support from sponsors to enable us to improve our display at events (our recent stand at the Lancaster Insurance Classic Car Show at the NEC cost around £2000 and was financed by a small number 

of our membership).

The group have a number of plans for the future to enable members to keep their 280 to a high standard and useable.

It is hoped we may be able to provide a complete service to our members.
