Capri - Jimboomba Auto Extravaganza, Sunday 25 August


This event was sponsored by the Early Ford V8 Club and was held at Maclean Bridge in Tully Park, Jimboomba. As well as the swap meet, you can either display your car or enter it into the judging competition. I decided that it was time my white 1972 Capri XL had a run so I cleaned it up and took it out on what was a great Sunday morning.
The swap meet had many stalls but, as usual, I didn’t see any Capri or small Ford parts. It looked like many of the stall holders had cleared out their sheds and brought the junk along to try and sell it. I didn’t buy anything.  There weren’t a huge number of cars on display but there were some really nice early Fords, including several Customlines.  Some really nice Ford Hot Rods were lined up with one done out like an American sprint car. Also, the usual nice Falcon GTs and Mustangs were present. The English Fords were represented by a couple of well-known Escorts, several Zephyrs and the lone white Capri XL.
