Autoweek in the states report that Ford will introduce this model and "The basic shape is said to draw heavily on the original Mk1 Capri launched back in 1969 as the European Mustang."

Marvellous!

How long before we get a new Mk1 Sierra, a new Mk3 Escort and a new mark2 Transit? Living Legends my arse, they've sacked their design team, that's all

Does that mean cheesy (loved them) new episodes of The Professionals?

[Twin Turbo]

And about time too :-)

Does this mean that 'driving gloves' are going to make a comeback as well?

The ones with the backs cut out?

[plotloss]

Either back off, and little holes for your knuckles (usually in black) or the mash back ones in Brown should that take your fancy!!

Does someone have a problem with driving gloves?

Not in January type cold with the top down but when they are on OAP in volvo estate with 20 foot shed on wheels behind him.

Dont forget the nodding dog, box of kleenx, travel blanket and ooh what do they call that hat they all insist on wearing???

Saw one the other day - laffed me head off - nice n sunny, x reg volvo, old numpty, scarf, gloves, hat the works.... doing all of 45 down the M5. Bet he had the AC on full!

....ooooh, and that lovely black vinyl roof and dayglo orange paintwork ... I think they called it the Capri Special or something like that?

If you watch 'Pulling Power' you'll se that driving gloves are compulsory for the trendy, young career broadcaster.
Strange programme that, quite good in some parts and seriously 'dumbed-down' in others.

Yes unless they are Sparco and your on a track day dont do it

[campbell]

Driving gloves are good in the cold Cotty, or dont you not agree ?
But even better if you have a Griff or a Chimp and you were out in it for a spirited drive
But how would want a FWD Capri with lost of power, it should be RWD with even more power

[Twin Turbo]

It's gonna be 4WD allegedly. Bodie & Doyle would not approve.
