Dead Capri... Swindon landmark backstory...

[spoodler]

Not sure if this has been posted on here, but I'm certain the actual car will have been discussed at some point in the past.

Having lived most of my life in Swindon town centre, I used to regularly pass this car. I even stopped and called in many moons ago to see if it was for sale (three decades back?). Folk told me it belonged to the guy's late wife, or his son who never returned from the war (not sure which one, mind), or various other "true" stories...

I seem to recall a very similar story from a few years ago... I think that involved a XR2 though.

This may be the XR2 you were thinking of.

Looks familiar... strange how things stick in your mind.
