ford capri

Hi! Is the car still for sale, am looking for a cheap project as the wife loves driving capri`s

Ahh, the old capri. The original versions seemed pretty cool looking back now. I guess it helps that retro is 'in' now. Also remember when my Dad bought a new 2.8i laser in black. Had those 'pepper pot' alloys, which I loved as a ten year old boy back then. It's a shame they inevetably slid into the hands of boy racers and finished their lives disgracfully covered in bolt-on's. The last impression of the capri left on most peoples minds won't be good after that.

There's an orange MK1 3.0 on my drive at the moment - One of my neighbours customers.

I wouldnt want one myself, but they do have a certain appeal.

Rumours still abound that Ford Europe want to build a retro Capri (not the coupe picture that was being hiked about recently, but a car that does hark back to the original styling) like the USA has done with the Thunderbird and GT40.

I read in AutoCar a few months ago that there is a company somewhere that will find you a tidy Capri, strip it down, replace the suspension with coil & dampers all round, fit decent brakes, race seats, roll cage, fire extinguisher, and a nice 5.7 litre American V8 giving you a cheap track day car in the region of £5k.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm. Nice.

Funny you say that. I pointed out an old Mustang to a friend the other week and his reaction was - it looks like a capri!
