how is the chassis ? this will be the make or break for most people

worst places to rot (and to fix)
rear spring hangars, front strut tops and towers (rot up from underneath) A pillar and floorpan at the front of the footwells

if these are all solid then its got to be worth at least the 400 quoted as is,

as an early 'S' its more desirable than any of the other 4 cylinder capris, but if its rotten in all of those places its not likely to be viable to restore

Depends on what you call a viable resto? What you say is true though. Mines a 79T 3.0s 2 owners from new, i bought it as a resto. And i couldnt believe my eyes when i looked underneath, perfect

I think I am going to go for it dependant on price. So If I can get it for £200-£250 then yes....

Will let you know.

In the meantime if anyone knows a good Capri forum, book, or buyers guide please let me know.
