When I was very young I used to take a Profeasionals toy Capri with me to play with whilst I waited for my Mom to do her various cleaning jobs in houses, apartments, community centres etc.
I’d spent hours looking and the photo and description of it in the Argos catalogue. Then one day it was mine, it was secondhand so I didn't have the stuff that came with it, but I had the Capri
Then some time later the man who owned the chip shop had a brand new 2.8 in blue over silver and my goodness it looked good, and even better than the photos I now see online.

But for me - and probably many people - was the 280 Brooklands which came a few years later. A chap around the corner bought a brand new one. What a handsome car that was.
Here I am 40 years later longing for the latest incarnation of one of the coolest and most glamorous cars, named after one of the coolest and most glamours locations.
