Chop Shop Capri for sale on fleabay

[Theoldfm]

Just browsing the old fleabay and have come accross this, the Ford Capri that was 'built' by Chop Shop for Lawrence Dallaglio

I wonder how many of the other Chop Shop 'Creations' have been cast aside by their 'delighted' owners

[MGB Boy]

That is horrible.

If this is the program I'm thinking of the first (and last!) episode I watched they were cutting down coil springs...

[nobodyknows]

Whoever listed that is either foreign or thick

[Fire99]

Unfortunately it looks a bit like a slightly suspect copy of an old Mustang and you may as well get the Mustang if that's your bag.

I don't warm to many of Leepu's designs.

[Rubin215]

Wow!

The attention to detail really is, well, quite st actually...

No wonder he got rid of it!

[Blakeatron]

I quite like it - reminds me of mad max.

Would have a punt at a grand or so but 4+!?

I don't warm to any of them.

He takes some very nice cars and just butchers them. This Capri for example, the MGB, and the Bentley; all of them were nice cars that Leepu turned into a stter version.

[Dr Doofenshmirtz]

Dear God...what a POS.

[Traveller]

Geeez that is a steaming pile. An interesting program, but I would not be spending money on the design or mechanical modifications.

Yes, does anyone remember the mess that they made of that golf? IIRC they put a Subaru engine and running gear into a Mk2 Golf (good so far) but then Leepu decided to totally ruin it with his so called 'design' skills

I only saw the first episode of that, where they were putting the Subaru lump in etc (which was great). Glad I didn't see the second one now! That design is just awful.

Good comparison by the way

He's a talented guy but he goes for 'unique' and distinctive designs which are way out there. I personally don't get 'em.

I also thought the engineering was often a bit out-dated with the modern demands of a 'super' car.

"here we have up for auction is the 1 of 3.5 v8 ford capri "

I wonder where the other 2 and a half Capris are.

[John D.]

Looks a bit Mad Max to me.

[Buzz word]

Leepu? I have just started shouting at my TV watching him on Quest. please don't say he made any more than one series? or more than bangalor bangers. The guy struck me as a talentless arrogant idiot and his pro mechanic not much better with the crap he let him get away with.

I was going to say I liked the car a bit until I saw his name involved. But it is pretty unoriginal rear from the side reminds me of the Trans Am spoiler but not the back. It also robs the paint (admittedly also hertz mustang). The intake strikes me as plymouth Cuda/ challenger as do the lights but with a decromed grill.

[Fleckers]

Owned by Lawrence Dwho ?
I saw the hand over of this car and Mr. Dwho did not look overly impressed


as for £18k spent on the build,someone somewhere was taking drugs !!

[IforB]

Compared to some of his other creations, that is actually not too bad. However, compared to anything that isn't the product of an incompetent halfwit, it's atrocious.

[statts1976uk]

Some mad man has actually bid on it, I wonder if this is another fine example of drunk bidding.

[genericguy]

There's undoubtedly talent there, just a shame Leepu has the sttest taste imaginable
