Replaced and repainted front wings, replaced front suspension bushes, exhaust gaskets, front bumper and fog lights.
Notes
Sold at a loss – blamed on lacklustre finish of repainted wings, as well as the worn seats that were not addressed during the restoration. (First loss in the series).

How on earth did they manage to make a loss on the Capri? It still confounds me to this day. Restored at that level can pull £5k at least all day. One thing Mike lacks is the ability to get top price for the cars(he’s done well once or twice), seems like he just wants a quick sale and is happy to make a loss doing so.
