Now for the first time exclusively to Bitesize TV, here is the complete version of this 2008 classic car documentary film. Former BBC Top Gear, Wheeler Dealer, The Garage and Car SOS director Jamie Langton created the now cult 'Legend' series of classic car documentaries. Each film tells the story of famous and iconic vehicles and this one is the story of one of Fords most iconic cars, the Capri, told through the eyes of owners who all share the same passion for their cars. Also included are key people who've helped put Capri on the map. AuthorJeremy Walton fills in all the gaps on the cars racing pedigree while former Ford communication executives Paul Harrison, Tom Malcolm and Steve Saxty (who's also written several books on the car) give an insight into how the Capri developed and finally came to an end within Ford. Exclusively to this film we also hear direct from Fords SVE Team led by Rod Mansfield on how he and his team helped keep the car in production longer by 'injecting' new life into one of Britain's popular coupe's. Available originally as a DVD, the title sold worldwide and set the style for future supercar mega factory TV shows. The soundtrack for the series was specially commissioned from TV and film composer Garry Judd. www.garryjudd.com

I love the mk3 3.0S carb with tartan seats and net headrests, in red. I would remortgage to get a pristine one !!!
Owned four MKll Capris, two base models, two Ghia models with the 2.8 v6 and they were absolutely amazing cars to drive! Great to work on and know these cars inside and out! There can never ever be a true successor to this car and as the last couple of Engineers and developers of the MK lll said, it's had its day and time and should be left that way...Just keep the originals alive and well, bring a few wrecked/abandoned and salvageable special edition examples back for those of us that truly appreciate these amazing cars to enjoy!
Who else got a bit choked up seeing those burned out, vandalized, and badly wrecked 280's.....
South Africa came out with a capri that was a beast, the capri Parana with a factory V8 302, the car was a real Beast
Sorry Mk 1 and III , a late 70s kid, I loved the MkII look. My favourite , especially with an X Pack body.
Yes like all I modified like a MkIII with the headlights, but then I reverted back. 2.8i's became common.
RPU 654M. My old car... Definitely one that got away😢😢😢
Capri was and is a great car . Ford could build these tomorrow and have a full order book!
I have driven the 1.6 the 3.0 and the 5.0 models
I had a white my 2my mate had the black one we both had CB’s back the my handle was white knight his was black knight both had full body kits loved them
At 10:47 is the ghia interior I had on my 1979 2.0 in apollo green
Mk3 for me always loved them but never owned one I had the mk5 cortina’s shame really because in the 1990s my dad bought loads of capris in the auctions and resold to the lads down the pubs for £550 very cheap I really missed out there. I’m no way today buying one starting at 10k sod that I will make do with my corgi model on my shelf instead lol 😂.
A wise choice 🤣
It is 2023. The 24V still running in my MKIII since '95. Like new.
If I don't know why they was problem for stealing the 280 Brooklyn's kiss cause it was a 2 out of Britain as a basic V basically with a different colour paintwork and the engine was the same as the 2 late normal so I don't know whether it was just stealing them for the engines in that lot for cause I wouldn't have exactly what I ate And I'm trying to get one of my old ones back anyway
stealing them for the full raven leather interir bridge off weir leather like aston matins bentleys etc use too spoilers and most prized 15inch rs 7 spokes rare seeing bigger than 13 inch wheels low profiles had been fad cpl years at time but wheels got 500 to 1000 stolen interior whole 1500 engines boxs lsd left n shells
I have owned many ford capri I
71 2.0 pinto 73 2.6v6 74 2.8v6 here in USA
Thank you for uploading the complete episode of this, I've been waiting a long time to watch this. As I've only ever seen a 10 minute clip of it years ago. I found it very interesting especially finding out about the mysterious bodyshell on the production line after the last 280 came off the line.
Thanks very much for the comment. Glad you enjoyed it. The original Capri the Legend is also up there which features the “alleged” last ever Capri.
Have sent this to Rod and Geoff from SVE as well as Steve Saxty :)
Thank you very much Mister P.
Brilliant that , I was lucky enough to have owned all MK1 MK2 MK3 Capris in the 80,s , all being the fabulous 3 litre cars over 10 of them , and the last one being a black 2.8 injection never owned a Brooklands , brought back good memories GREAT CARS .
No such Capri as a, 'Brooklands.' That's the paint colour, the last Capri was designated, 'Capri 280.'
