Had a Surprise today (Tickford Capri Turbo)
Discussion
As some will know, I have been looking to better my music in the Escort and a search on eBay found me a 10" Kenwood Subwoofer for sale in my home town. A quick email and an offer was accepted. Today I went to collect, had the address etc and took the Escort... As I was driving to the location I was thinking, will this be a boy racer or something etc and always thought this person will no doubt love the Escort.
So I pull up to where I think it is and am met by a old guy who said he was the one with the sub.... shocked was a understatement but none the less. As I walk though his gates I was met with this!!!
Number 002 of the Capri Tickford built Turbo!!!!
2.8i Turbo V6! The car looked like the bat mobile in a good way, really looked angry and purposeful. I was chatting with the owner for a while about the car, he owned it twice, had 70,000 miles on the clock, pretty much the only one left that has not had a engine rebuild and only one of 40 left on the road.
He gave me a card to his website www.a400mod.com have a look, interesting read.
I really wanted to get some more photos but didnt like to ask. He had just had the leather retrimmed and it smelt so good in the car, leather was perfect!
The car looked in amazing condition and had such a great story to it. The owner was really nice as well. No idea what this car is worth but I bet its worth a good amount.
Anyway, thought I would pass the info on, was nice to see the car.
Cheers

T'was me!
Thanks for the feedback on the car and website guys :-)
Mark, you are welcome to come round anytime if you want to take some photos.
Hopefully A400MOD will be at a few shows in the south west this summer, definitely at the Haynes "Rare Breeds" show at the museum in September.
Best regards,
Adrian
