Following on  from  our  intense  Capri 50th  Anniversary Tour  we  expect 2020  to  be  less  busy.  Details will  be  announced once  dates  are  published by  organisers.

Provisional  plans  are  starting off  with the  Practical Classics  Restoration show  in  March.  CCI  National in  May,  Netherlands and Belgian Capri  Drivers  show  in  June  and  CCI  again  in  August.  

Final  event  is  likely to  be  the  NEC  Classic Car  show  in  November.

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.

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.

Come along and see us at the Lancaster Insurance Classic Car Show at the NEC Birmingham November 8 to 10th. Stand 8-010 Our  first appearance at  the  event  bringing  our  2019  Capri  50th  Anniversary to  a  conclusion.
