😍😍😍😍😍
Can’t believe it only sold for £12,750 😱 Someone got a bargain… did you buy it Calvin 😂
@@Southie. only £12,750 that’s crazy surely it’s worth double that
@@-1dg4f-3 its only worth what people are willing to pay. and when these sort of cars can no longer be driven on the road, which will not be that long i think. they will have no value.
@@-1dg4f-3 Nope. It's got corrosion in the front offside wing for starters. If if was immaculate, it would be worth £18k ish.
I am still driving, repairing and living my father's personal Capri dream car from 1982. Dad passed away much too early decades ago in 1996. Parting from his dream car to me would be like he is passing away again...
It’s quite sad to see him let that go
The owners son is such a nice guy. Fair play to dad and son for letting Calvin have the chance to own such a nice genuine honest example of a classic capri.
Typical "Gravesend Bruvva" geeza the son, love it. Local to me too. Brilliant car, brilliant video and lovely people
I had 2 capri’s back in the day. Absolutely love them
Can’t beat the 80’s Fords they had some great cars in the 80’s I owed loads of fords in the 80’s escort XR3, XR3i fiesta XR2. They were great fun the capris are a classic tho.
Starting to think this era, 90s and early noughties are when cars Character , stopped improving
My dad grandads on both sides my and my uncle all had capris when I was a kid. The 2.8 is my all time favourite car! Really good memories of these cars 👌
Old skool baby!!! 💪Spend some money cleaning it up calv, keep it for another 30yrs will be worth a fortune mate..
At its time this was a lovely up market car . As an old car in that condition after all those years is a great investment. They go for lots of money! 👍
Brings back some memories! great vid thanks for posting.
How can you bring yourself to part with a car after 35 years. It must be difficult as surely he's formed a real attachment. He will miss it!
A very cool old car. I just saw a Mk1 one here in Jasper Alberta Canada, I saw this, had to watch it. Great videos, love your style. Love the respect between you, Barry and Bryan. Keep those video's coming!
Can't be many with a history like that and as nice. Top vid again calv 👌
Amazing.... I think most people love a classic old Ford. Just something iconic about them. They resonate with anyone of a certain age (40s+)
Although slightly sad that he's having to sell something that clearly has sentimental value😔
These things were a common sight when I was growing up. Feeling old 😀
Was admiring this on Sunday when i came down with my son buying a Leon Cupra , im 60 and it brought back memories.
Brilliant watch. Love the classic capri. Sounded fantastic on start up. Keep em coming.
This is the car that got me to cars, my uncle had a black 2.8 with those same headlight covers.where the camera is was my view as 5 yr old. That long bonnet the sound on the memories.
Having owned a few Capri's over the years, this was good to see. More so because I never had a 2.8. I've have a 1.6, two 2.0L's and a German 3.0L. Love the Capri and always will.
They also did a RS 3.1 mk1 my friends dad had one beautiful car, also a turbo tickford edition I think as well totally classic great episode Calvin.
We have something in common I own my 1981 Capri 2.8 injection 35 years as well ! Tut tut ! Rusty looking power steering pump ! Mine is immaculate and drives like new !
I saw the first 2.8i in 1983 in Germany when i was 13 years old. Black and brand new. Pepperpot rims. Now 52 and it still is my thing. This video shows a lot. 👍
I loved those lenses on those Capri's. There were a couple round my way in the early 90s with them on. One was Matt black and the other was a green wide arched x pack one.
Lol 'I'm 99'. Love that - refers to his age like he's a car 😂. Personally I'm a 1975 plate. Such a great video Calvin, absolutely spot on going for these human interest vids.
Come on cal can’t surprise us like this! My uncle had a capri with cosworth whale tail! In Ford probe blue which is similar to golf r today I believe
I grew up with dad owning these, going to school in a capri, happy days
Wish i had the money for this... perfect gift for my dad 60th next year, still talks about the capri's he had in his 20s
Sound people father & son. Proper nice 2.8 that. Love to have that. Nice one Calv.
I was ten when he bought it. Do remember them in high school. Quality
A friend once had the 1.3 56bhp , it was embarrassingly slow compared to my 90bhp twin carb Austion Allegro 1750 Equipe 🤣....not many knew of that model and missed out on some serious fun.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane guys 😁
Remember test driving a 1.3 Ford capri , it struggled going up a hill , so I said no thanks !
@@MaxMax-th7uz 🤣
really great content pal ,it must have been hard to let it go ,my 1st car was a 2 litre S black capri in 1982.wish i kept it now a good one worth 12k ,i love this cal.its fab m8..
Always interesting to see a couple of people who don't really know Capris discussing them. Even the son doesn't seem to know it too well considering it's been with him his whole life. Dad was doing well for himself to buy a 4-year old Capri at 25 though. I could only afford when the *car* was 25 and £1000!
Wow what a find!!! Class!!!!
I had a Capri 2Ltr S in the day. Super car. The 2.8 came out shortly after mine, but I did get a chance to try one from the local garage. The acceleration, in relation to what else was available was mind blowing. it was rumoured that the Liverpool gangs used them, as they were twice as fast as current police cars!!
My pops got away from police multiple times in his capri he wasn’t doing anything major criminal but you know a car like that needs to be driven how it should be driven none of these speed limit and the roads were a lot emptier Back then in comparison to now
Let’s just say the one copper drove past my pops house after he already parked up on his drive and was stood inside looking out his window my pops was smiling at the copper the copper smiled and drove away
Man I’d of loved to have known that buzz 😂
Memories, love it ❤️
lovely motor and good to see a capri in standard mode from early 80s ,think these were around 12 grand new back then ha today lot more good on you enjoy the fun love capris myself.
a 1978 Capri was the first and only car my mum ever owned, I've been saving to buy one so I can take her for a drive in it. she hasn't driven in about 30 years but still talks about how much she loved that car to this day so I'm sure getting rid of his capri wasn't an easy choice even if it has just been sat in his garage
What a lovely car I borrowed one from a relative for a month once as my Sierra got written off..... Not only was it fun & quick i was surprised by the fuel consumption it wasn't particularly juicy to be fair
Great content Calvin lovely old skool capri and a great father and son combo that are super passionate and clearly a keen follower of your amazing channel. But sorry they ain’t bullet proof as the son quoted lol we all know what the ford badge says

But there’s nothing better than an old skool ford ❤️👌🏻❤️👌🏻❤️
Nice folks, but they have some of their information wrong. This is the Cologne injected version engine, with 160bhp. The tilt and slide sunroof was always standard on all versions of the 2.8i, these extra front lights were called "Driving Lamps" and never a Capri option, rather optional on Fiesta (always standard on XR2 MK1), Escort MK3 (usually seen on XR3/XR3i), some Cortina L, GL, with optional "S" pack, ditto Granada, etc. There was never an auto option from Ford, though understand that a few were converted outside the network. Happy to be corrected.
Lovely car used to go to work on one of them brand new on 1985 , silver capri soecial so leather half , lsd nice car in the day
160bhp
I loved these back in the day
It was a dream car
Lovely capri , concours it, garage it and store it ! Will be worth a fortune some day .
Great cars capris. I had 20s and a30s wasnted the last one the 280 which is now worth a fortune
Classic ford's gotta love them 👌👍
Great vid that.ive got a mk 1 xr2 I've owned for 30 years 66000 miles on never use it these days.
old fords and vauxhalls are always cool as everyones parents had loved me first car nova sport 😀👌
Saw 3 capri go through mathewsons yesterday
They also go side ways sooooo good I remember that
Back in time with the Ford Capri 👌👌👌👌👌
My mates got a secret capri untouched In his dad's old garage. All black in pristine condition. Its beautiful. I wanna drive it once before he sells it.
Cool vid that one👌🏼👌🏼
The water spots all over the car are bugging me but it looks mint and solid so who am I to tell this man how to look after a car👌
I wonder why is he selling it ? My Capri is black but that one you have is my favourite colour combination in a 2.8 injection. These sound glorious !
Wanted it to go to Calvin Calvin just put it straight in the auction 😉😉
Early 5 speed car. My dad had a graphite grey and strato silver combo paint car. That was an 83 A reg with the 5 speed. Great memories, fabulous sounding and looking car's. It's a shame they're rot boxes.
The Tickford was the dogs danglys 😎😎
The sad honestly looked like he really didn't want to sell it. What a car!
Love classic cars especially fords my dad had a few Capris as I was growing up, and I've owned 3 escort rs turbos myself along with MK1 fiesta and Opel manta and MK1 astra in the shitty brown colour lol.. brilliant cars 👌
I had two 3.0 Ghia autos and a 3.0S manual back in the day. I preferred the Essex motor over the Cologne, they were much more tuneable, wish I still had any of them. That Capri has leaking injectors BTW, that's why it misfired for a few seconds on start-up.
What a Beautiful car l would be very sad too let it go my mate had V6 3 litre Capri what a car it was very fast 😮 love them 😊
If I was you I’d put the car away properly , for long term and give it to Kai when he turns 18 . If he sold it he’d be set for life 👌 great cars. Had a cpl in the early 90s 👌👌
My boss had one of those it was a beast back in the day
Ahh man wish I see this before. I would of dropped a load of cash for this bad boy. I've been looking for one for years. Definitely my favourite car buy a mile off
loved it that horn sounds like thomas the tank engine haha! cant beat old school
Age-wise, Brian obviously came along a couple of years after the Capri (I had a total of five Capris back in those days and they were very comfortable trust me ha ha! ) 😊😊😊
My sort of car what a classic love it 👏
My mum has a 1986 Capri 2.0 Laser in black. Completely re furbished. Any idea on its value?
Turbo technics 3.0 I.s needed a fuel tanker behind me in the 90s lol
Waiting for the draggy time 😉😎👍
I'll get mine eventually (still early days of saving up).
My first car was a Capri mk 3 1.6 GL and I had a few more and I kick myself for not storing my last one away in 2005
Not just me who thinks the guy looks like Ed Matthews ?😂
Lovely motor 👌
I has one of them same colour when they first came out.
Me too and I had the same tinted covers over the headlights.
My favourite Ford car beautiful machine
Hope you make good money out of it calv 👌
Awesome car, what’s the asking price I’d like to buy this.
Would be helpful too if you put the price agreed in the vid I think mate, Just an idea . Love the content bro.
A dealer is never going to reveal what he paid for a car
Classic enough said
ALL 2.8i Injection Capris came with a tilt and slide sunroof as standard.
Calv please put it on planet of dreams😎
No way needs to go to the right person this
I wish you had did test drive with his dad, I didn't quite get what you paid for it but I think at a classic car auction it would be in the 30k region...I wish he had never sold it.
meet the owner?? sheesh this is my or one of my dream cars!! Holy... OK now I put the tissues down how much ??? I need 😫 POD CAR?? 🤣🤣😍
1.3 to a 3.1, mines is a 1986 1.6 laser, with a 2.0 in it, bought it when I was 18, that was 18 years ago,
Would love to own a capri
I had a 83 capri 2.0 s so regret get rid 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The black edition has sun roof aswell
Classic car 😎
Shame the dash has been cut to fit the stereo.
My mum who's unfortunately passed always wanted one of these never liked them my self tho
my granda had a black 30s at 74 years old he went out in it everyday, then one night he ran into 7 cars after going to his labour club one night on way home ,he rang me and my sister and said ive scratched my car i think ,scratched jesus it was smashed on every wing and light ,we had it repaired then took it off him . Then he went out in the village and looked at all the smashed cars the next morning .
My favourite is the 3 litre S
4 speed was quicker and a better gearbox, I had a very early 2.8i 1981 on an X plate in red. Most early cars were sapphire over silver
U definitely need to mod this cal
no keep it original the best way for it
Please please keep it for shows and make some content with it
The dad should be in the car.. is what it is. Like lol.. thats all the son was saying lol. Nice car. 👌🏼
Caspian blue over silver, I had one n trashed it on the M1
Would of got more on eBay !!!
My dad had one of these. I never forgave him for selling it.
Deep
How much your selling the capri
