    As the owner of 5 Capris from mid 70s up until the late 80s and still love them today i have to say this is a really fantastic restored example. Credit to the owner.

    I was mad for Capris, had 7 in all, your taste in restoring this car is absolutely perfect, what an amazing job, I wasn’t sure in the yellow at the beginning but what a perfect choice, well done to all involved, my favourite one I owned was a silver 3 litre S, such beautiful cars 😊

    @DjNikGnashers 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    What a great restoration, well done chaps. I'll admit, I'm an old fart, and back in the early 80's I never really liked Capri's, and thought them a bit too much like an English muscle wanna-be car. I did have 11 Mk2 Escorts, and a couple of Mk1's though, which were more my thing. But, that said, what you have done with this is simply amazing, credit to you.

    @janhalaxa1888 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    A friend of mine has exactly the same front spoiler on his 2.3S as well as fishnet recaros. I totally understand everyone who has't bought an ultimate Capri wants to have the best parts on his car. To me this is a tasteful MK3. Most importantly it is your car and you like it this way. Thanks for sharing it with us. Bye from Prague Ford Club CI5

    Has a 73 capri I 2600cc. Was very fun! Only had the 2 barrel carb and 3 speed manuel tranny. But still a blast to drive. Wanted to bore out to 3.0 and fuel inj. Also 5 speed manuel! Loved that car! I liked how the air vents would adjust right where you wanted then just dial open or close.

    Great job, great colour. Second favourite - mine is Peppermint Green. I'm still restoring it though, putting in a Jag S-type engine.
    Can't get those 3 liters here, we got the 2.8i but with a five-speeder. Looking excellent and one of my fav cars.
    Would have loved to hear the sound though.

      When I finish the car I'll put up a video on YT, but that will take time.
      First I have to fix my Fiat 500 (1976) and the X1/9 (1977). I have a lot of cars.
