A few months went past and I had pretty much forgotten about the Consul Capri when I received a phone call from the previously so polite owners.
It turned out that they had reconsidered selling the Hooper, and to me too.
I went round there the next day to find the Capri sitting in the driveway, out of the garage for the first time in many years.
I must say that I didn’t really look over the car too much as I knew it was a wreck and I also knew that I wanted it and didn’t want to put myself off buying it!
The couples attitude was almost completely opposite to the last time our paths crossed. They were happy to see me and keen for me to take their once loved Capri off their hands and give it back its former glory.
We quickly struck on a price of £800 for the Hooper and I went back the following day with a flat bed mercedes to take it home. I unloaded my new Capri in my parents driveway and that’s where the story of 302 EXX really starts.
