Yep another ex capri and ex scooby owner here who has enjoyed looking at all the capri "****" in this thread.

I still dream of my last capri - rosso red 2.8i. If only I could find another like it. I always wanted a late original mark 3 3.0S x pack. Had the opportunity to buy one once that had been stored for 15 years for a bargain but let it slip through my hands.

 

Still have a MK1 tucked away.

Liked the shape so much I re-created it digitally in 3D to the specs I would love to re-build her to. RS3100 spec, complete with Cosworth GAA V6 Quadcam and 20" BBS rims. Absolute fantasy, but whiles away the hours

Loving that look, a red Mk1 brings back all the memorys

 

Does anyone know if the above car sounds like its worth a bob or not?

 

If its a mark 2 (least popular shape) and LHD then I cant see it being worth more than about 3.5k over here assuming its mechanically sound and in pretty good shape.

 

Capri's - loved 'em had 2 1.6's one with fishnet Recaro's. A black 2L 'S' which I had an uprated cam, head, exhaust & K & N fitted to.
Written off by someone side swipping me at a junction - very much their fault !!!!
Also a 2.8 inj in silver......

Happy days

 

I can still remember as an 11 year old boy when my dads friend at work got one in 1969 when they first came out, that hooked me on them and i always use to go to the local ford showroom and have a look at the new models as they came out.....ahhh Happy days
Cheers

Not really I've had a 2.8 injection too and it was really good fun & I've still got a low mileage mark 2 3.0s tucked away in my garage I really need to start work on that and get it back on the road.

 

had a 1974 3.0 GXL one of the last off the line before they became hatches ,it was bronze with black vinyl roof.............wish i still had it

 

I dunno if it is just because of this thread, but I keep seeing Capri's everywhere!!

Near my house, someone has some widebodied Mk3 project going and I saw a 3.0 S at the local Wickes and a 3.0 'GL' MK2 in the local Co-Op this morning.

 

Here's my mates , just (almost) finished, Old Skool meets new skool

 

 

MK2 !!!! a rare beast indeed. Lots of MK1's and MK3's about worth sorting.

 

Eddscot, where in Spain is this Capri?

 

you may like this one then

The year is 1981

I am working for a photographer and we have finished a shoot in London, coming back up the M1 at around midnight in his 323i BM (which was a bit special and rare back then)

A Capri comes past us ( we are doing around a ton or so) like we are standing still.

No ordinary Capri - apparently an RS3.1 Cologne Capri - looked like an on the road race car wide wheel arch modelwith a 3.0CSL BM glued to is bumper. Now, these are two of my favourite cars anyway!

We take off after the pair of them but even at an indicated 130MPH we are not catching, actually being left behind and some. We lose sight of them!

Some 20 or so miles further up the M1 we come across the CSL with the bonnet up old a mixture of oil and coolant leaking out of the engine, we pulled over to offer assistance. It turns out BM had been chasing/racing the Capri through Swiss Cottage out to the M1 and has been pretty much flat-out/off the clock since they got on there. In the end the BM engine just gave up the ghost and the Capri carried on into the night.

 

Had 3 'normal' 1.6's as the early family car, including fab light yellow one almost from new, wonderful cars.

 

First ever car was a highland green 1.6GL....great car 'til I wrote it off by running into the back of a poor woman in her brand new Gold convertable

Replaced the first car with a Gold 2.0GL - brown vinyl roof. Car ran really well (120k on the clock) then I decided to trade for a 2.8i.

Had the 2.8i resprayed and then the engine rebuilt at the capri garage in blackpool (along with new gearbox & clutch fitting). Cost decent money for what I was earning at the time but I loved the car. One of the few cars that I have had that I actually was gutted to change and for a long time afterwards I regretted the change despite 'trading up' to much newer modern car.

Happy days & great memories.

 

Just seen this on another forum, hubba hubba!! Cosworth powered

 

Just found this thread, what memories came flooding back.

MY first car at 17 was a Capri 2.0L Laser

Had that for two years and got a 1983 2.8i

Then a year later I bought myself a mint white 2.8i Special.

I had it for five years one of the nicest cars I have ever owned.

Once i've finished my current project I'm going to look for a Brooklands 280

That livery looks absolutely stunning on that car:

 

got a mate who still has his 3.0s capri fitted with an oselli engine was in some custom mag years ago
it's been in his garage for atleast 15 years

 

Oh dear, the Mark 1 Capri is heading for the mega prices that Mk1 Escorts command, that Blue and White Xpack was inn Retro Ford, awesome.

I had best buy one before they get too expensive.
