Nobody realizes they're calling Muscle Car an english/german car with a 3.5 litre engine... from a Rover haha please at least they should get a Ford V8..
i am in the process of modifying my old 1971 Capri Mk1.. I mean i live in a Poor island in Asia.. but guys.... even we can do better than that.. i mean look at the dashboard.. the grille.. the measurements are all wrong.. thats just sad. to see Discovery channel people selling crap like this.. cheap junk.. they could have restored it to be something like rs2600 or 3100.. but i know this is a mk3.
The sad part is they are giving this legend this piece of junk as a retirement gift.
LD's Capri is no longer for sale....You will see it around 'Essex' - just needs finishing properly (not just for TV!!!!) - I'm smiling from ear to ear! ;-)

that car is now up for sale in a garage in pinner for 6 grand... altohugh the doors no longer open by the key button, so needs some manaul pull on it lol... in current condition they want 4 grand for it .... i sat in it an its a beast
Still looks like a capri at the end of the day. And why would they use a rover 3.5 v8?? I would have gone ford or small block chevy. You will struggle to get any more than 300bhp from a rover v8. Poor cylinder head design, thats why is was junked by buick in the first place
that same engine was used in the jaguar xkr , xjr and the range rover sport and those werent slow, it wasnt fast b4 beacuse buick didnt know how to design engines very well (correct me if im wrong) rover refined that engine and it was one the best
The 3.5 litre v8 wasnt used in any off those, they were all 4.0+ 4.2 litre v8, and the range rover sport also had a supercharger fitted hence why it has so much power. The stock rover 3.5 v8 used in this capri produces 190 bhp which isnt a lot for an engine of that capacity. My 1.8 litre celica vvtli produces the same amount of power.
i feel that they never manage to show the cars properly.. all the shots of the finished cars are either closeups of details or a done in a weird angle or to much in motion or too short..
exactly what im finkin the quality is poor and any1 giveing these coment a thumbs down you havent got a clue im a mechanic and i get to work on sum of the nicest cars on the planet!! and when youve seen and felt quality 1st hand u knw what shit is a mile off
A Dagenham dustbin with a Rover engine!. Would have been better just looking for a Capri with a tickford kit already fitted....yet again ChopShit, he's losing his touch!. Much better at the Ferrari-alikes.
i was there....lawerence dallaglio's generation game, it was awesome, it was great to meet and greet them afterwards. I also went the final...it was kickass
such a silly looking car, why a capri?/?, i think i would piss myself laffin if i seen him at asdas getting out of that thing. WTF are the reading in chop shop MAXPOWER,LOL
kind of disappointed, i wanted to see him get a Shelby GT500 or something

You can't be a car designer without any drawings. In my opinion, this is very ungly car... Is it only me who see it this way?
