That brown capri is cool!
You mean that brown "Capri" that looks suspiciously like a Cortina MkIII?
The mans right. Its a mkIII 2000E I think.
The dogs whatsits at the time apparently
The Marina TC could probably run rings round it
And as for the Dolomite Sprint...
Used to love the Capris,i had a 1.6 auto snail once....what a slug that thing was,there was such a thing as a 3.1 (Geoff Uren conversion IIRC) capri that were meant to be the dogs and the ones to have.
One day i went to a FastFord day when i had my 71 Mach1,i parked next to this capri that was mint and as i walked around it i noticed the stickers "RS 5.7",which had me asking "Scuse me mate couldnt have a look under the bonnet"...he opened the bonnet and sitting there between the shock towers was a 351 4V Cleveland.
