Yep, the limited edition ones (22B or P1) in standard condition can be £50k and a lot more.

A common one in rough condition will be a few thousand.

The more you know, the more you realise you don’t know.

One that was previously owned by Colin McRae (world rally champion) sold for half a million.

To be fair I think I know nothing about cars and I am quite confident that testing would prove me to be right :D

Indeed they can, but that one in Meem's picture looks like a right ratty old piece of shit though.

Is that a downwards facing speaker on the front dash?

Sister in law had a 22B, it looked great and was very loud and fast. I only ever got to go in it once and it was a bit rattly inside but I reckon it would've been fun to drive.

For Mimi’s benefit. Colin was a much better driver than he was a helicopter pilot. His last flight did not end well.

Yes. Not sure why they used the iconic name.

Heretige is the only thing they have that Chinese car companies don't.

I hired a car in Italy last week for the 6 days I was there, and they gave me an automatic MG3 hybrid.

Honestly, it wasn't that bad. I was very surprised.

I didn't mind the Capri in photos.

I just came out of Tesco to find one parked next to me.

Sweet jesus it's ugly in real life. The Mustang mach-e is no looker but the Capri is like someone described it to someone who drew it using broken crayons.

I honestly think that their designers tried to see how much they could rip off the Polestar 2 and somehow ended up making an ugly mess:

I was the other way around - didn't think much of the photos but when I saw one thought it looked fine.

Looked nothing like a Capri,.obv.
