1.6S in black (S reg) and a 2.0S in black (T reg)
The 1.6S was a beauty with fishnet recaros (rare) wis I still had her 😥

 I never saw a Capri "in flesh" but do remember seeing a Broadspeed Granada from memory believe it had twin turbos and the turbos could be turned on by flick of a switch,guy I worked with had a brother that worked at Broadspeed Southam and he was always raving about how fast they were. |

On the Capri theme ,2 of my mates had Capri,s as well , one had a Capri jps special black & gold , he once had locked his keys in the ignition and the idiot smashed a window to get in you should have seen his face when I walked up and opened the passenger door and sat at the side of him and asked him what he was doing , lol, the plonker had,nt checked the passenger door, and my other mate had a early 1600gt , gorgeous too ....

My Garage is modest compared with others on this thread only coping with 3 bikes
Compare the size of the BSA and SD both250's
The antique of the Garage has to be this, would not pass H&S now
And of course the essential tucked away at the back

Yes that's a great garage Pete. A lathe AND a fridge full of beer - impressive!  |

Used to get condensation from the roof but solved that with 2" insulation and ply lining
