if you grew up in this era these are the cars of dreams now. back then some now fast fords was 10 a penny. Now Dream cars. Amazing to see it looking this way 🫡
Beautiful car, always wanted one as a lad, obviously didn't get one for financial reasons back then, someone will snap it up and hopefully cherish it 👍
Had a 1986 mercury Capri in Ontario Canada it had the v6 3.8 I put mag wheels on put on side skirts and put a red velvet headliner inside looked pretty good.my brother has it with less then 90000 km. Wish I had it back.
That is a well-balanced stylish capri, the British have always had the styling edge over the Americans with their cars. I love it, well done, thank you for sharing and take care.
@@Pyoutube2023 Really? I'm stunned! I honestly didn't know that. MANY thanks for pointing that out to me. There are some American cars that I do like from the 1960's, mainly Lincoln, Cadillac, Pontiac and Chevrolet but the British seem to have a "calmer" (for want of a better term) or quieter style about them. Again, many thanks and I will stand corrected. Take care and all the very best.
This Capri is superb...! Unfortunately, here in Oz we never got this model Capri, the model discontinued in the mid 70's. Would rather this than a contemporary Sierra. Sweet dual exhausts behind the fuel injected V6 ( the Essex motor?), tastefully appointed interior, and 5speed manual would make it a comfortable and relatively rapid drive. Congratulations to the owners of this beauty 😁👍
Interesting comments,mostly from people who have probably never owned one. Having owned over a dozen capris,I find it laughable the comments about handling,rust etc..they are no different from any other rwd car in the wet from that era of car. Anybody watching footage from the nurburgring will see BMW s hitting the barriers having snapped into a double oversteer. The Capri never did this,it was utterly neutral and vice free,with controlled predictable oversteer. Anybody at Goodwood watching Jake Hill hustle a 3.0S will see the car was very quick in its day in the wet or the dry. Reguarly beating mustangs,camaros around the track. All in period. As for rust ask yourself why if they were so bad,why 37 years after production ended so many still survive. People forget they were of their time and still have a huge following today. Deservedly so.
Had a Brookie 280, stupidly sold it in the nineties only done 38k. BIGGEST regret of my life……would die to have it back Think it was sold for about 3 to 4 k.
lovely, but I still own a 1971 mk 1 that I've had for 33years , daytona yellow , one owner before me 1600 gt . last of the mk1's before face lift . I'll never sale it. my kids hate , but it's all the inheritance they are getting . it's mint . God I love the capri....... this new suv is not going to appeal to anyone who knows . 😉
Luckily, it still has its original cassette deck. Without those, proper cars from the time when everything was proper and better too are worth around one-third of their full potential.
Spotted a capri ghia ladt year.. walking past it ,though it looked immaculate it looked so out of place...esp the gap between the arch n wheels. A timeframe im aware of xr2,s astea gte's etc..
They looked nice but Ford were criminally uncaring about making cars that would last. The engines needed rebuilding after 60,000 miles and by that time the bodywork was falling apart with rust. They literally allowed salty mud to spray all over the inside of the wings and light clusters, front and rear, when £10 plastic inner wings could have completely fixed the problem! Shocking.

Lovely car had a capri for years in the 80s loved it😂😂😂😂
Der schönste Ford Capri, den es je gab.
Fabulous ! Had one early 90s E379 0HA , great car 😊
1980’s Ford, rust and engines hated rain. But great cars.
What a beauty! Interesting interior not seen one like that before in a Capri.
The best car Ford produced, Ever! I had a 2 litre Ghia. Next to my Freelander, it was the best car I ever had! 😅
Great car. The only other one to consider is the 3.0 S.
THIS EXACT CAPRI & THE 2.8 GRANADA CHASSEUR POSTERS WERE/WHAT COVERED MY BEDROOM WALL . WOW ! FORDS GLORY DAYS (DAZE) .
Ford Capri !
Das eleganteste Auto seiner Zeit !
Hatte 3 Stück. davon. 🤗
This is why I do not understand the SUV obsession. But I don't understand tattoos on young women either. It's an age thing I suppose.
I'm with you Wilkins. I'm 56.
I don't understand tattoos at all.
Yeah mate only Māoris and sailors should have tattoos
It's a curious modern day phenomenon, tattoos on women.
SUVs make no sense but because millions buy them they will make them. Profit profit profit. Love this capri 🏆👍
Lovely car.
This is definitely a head turner 💯

The Capri was designed by the American Philip Thomas Clark…

One of the best!!
We don't make em like that anymore
Oh man...I wanted it so bad in the end of the 80´s...in Germany it was called 2.8 Injection
I always wanted one of those but couldn't afford it so had to have a two litre mk 2 i did love it
That interior is one I not seen before
This Capri is superb...!

The 2.8 was a Cologne engine, the 3.0 was Essex.
@W42PZ Ah yes of course...!
The memory is a bit hazy 😂
The 2.8 would have been a brilliant choice.
Superbe !!!
Tantalisingly delicious!😳now that’s just stunningly beautiful!🤩
I had 3 last one of them 😊

I had a E reg 2.8i Special about 24 years ago,I think the colour was Caspian blue,55k FSH,another car of many I should have kept😢
Had a Brookie 280, stupidly sold it in the nineties only done 38k. BIGGEST regret of my life……would die to have it back
Think it was sold for about 3 to 4 k.
Cool 😎 👌👍

I had a mark one 3liter with a 3-1 rs engine in it back in the day, had to put a bag of sand in the boot to stop it twitching through the gears ....
Yep. Me too.
Nice Motor an on a E plate. Off the Cologne factory for the UK 🇬🇧
❤👍 beautiful
Lovely. How many Miles She´s got?
Looks good. Probably won't stick around long.
As us old boys paint sprayers used to say.ford gives you rust
Enjoyed mine but rose tinted glasses and all that.

It's brooklands green. The car is a ford Capri 280. Ford never ever made a brooklands.
