So what's new?

Well, there's a much better photo Gallery of my past and present 280's.

There is a new 'Your Capri 280' section that will allow you to submit some details and stories with pictures of your very own 280 - (input page still not live yet - nearly ready)

There's an Events page that will give details of any motoring event that is likely to include the Capri 280 or else a Capri in some shape or form.

There will be a smarter For Sale Cars and Parts section and Wanted section So you can advertise your own 280 for the sum of £50 for as long as you want. This fee reflects the fact that this site is the top site in the world for seeling or buying a capri 280 and if you want to participate in the success story then let me know!. This site is dedicated to the 280 and all my visitors are Capri 280 enthusiasts. Could there be a better place to sell?

I know some of you like technical data and specifications etc, so, rather than make this site overloaded with blurb, I will provide links via the Links page to sites that offer data on the Capri 280, Turbo Technics etc.

Don't forget the great Insurance savings via Adrian Flux - check it out today.

Also I can get you 15% off Sat Nav - Indago by Performance Products have also joined with Brooklands280.com to offer our readers a special discount - just call them and say you know Dr Brooklands. I've got Indago and I'll be putting my review on shortly.

Welcome back everyone and thanks to all those who've previewed the site.

About us

Brooklands280.com the website was started by me about 10 years ago. The site was set up as a hobby. It soon progressed to become the top site for pictures and advice about Capri 280's with hits from all over the globe.

When I decided to sell my first 280 in June 1996 (which I owned for 8 years) I realised there were many folk out there who were searching for a fabulous Capri 280 and who didn't want to spend months making it look great. Enter Dr Brooklands!

I have owned and shown many of my privately owned Capri 280's in the past 10 years and still the message is the same - people absolutely adore my cars. Plain and simple.

Due to the popularity of the private website and the pristine cars, Brooklands280.com now works with Capri The Legend Lives, a small, new company to promote the ever increasing awareness of (and accessibility to own) a Capri 280.

Based in South Wales but covering the whole of the UK, as of April 2006 I can assure you of a fairly regular stock of exquisite Capri 280's for sale. These will be limited in number as I take time to prepare each to ensure near enough show condition cars (mostly exceeding show condition). Just check the For Sale section.

Quote of the month:- "I can't stop grinning, people think I'm going a bit mad. Everytime I open the garage door I start grinning" - John, new owner of a Dr Brooklands 280 Turbo.

"This bloke on a motorbike followed me and flagged me down, I thought he was gonna mug me until he lifted his visor and said, "Nice set of wheels mate!" - Tim Dr Brooklands Capri owner.
