give those rims a nice re-fab (silver- black) if you insist on having it in its original specs or find a nice Rostyle set and the wonderful Capri will be excellent!
"(Just incase anyone is wondering, I'm afraid it's not for sale and never will be) " AMEN dude, never sell that car, i got one on my garage too and it will be in the family as long as I live
hi great car! i was just wondering what kind of car it is to live with? like roughly how many mpg and maintinence and handling? i've heard they're a bit tail happy but i've fallen in love with the mk1 and am thinkin of buying one
hi, what a small world. checked out your ashes video. im poirot in ashes youll spot me mainly in last episode. i also used to be mk 1 capri spares. i had the exact model as this in the same colour lime green. very rare. i did own over 100 mk 1s but the lime green one was in very good condition when i owned it, and was the only one i had in that colour. it doesnt exist now. all the best poirot.
Beautiful - Is that the original colour? I don't recall seeing that kind of paint in the early 1970s. Based on the Cortina all right, but check those rear lights, same as they used on the Escort at the same time.
Intro'd in the US in '71. 1.6L or for $100 more, a 2.0L. Stock interior, or "GT" package(a useless plastic console w/clock, but it looked better). 2600 V6 arrived in 73. I chose a blue 71 1600 over the Vega, Opel Manta 1900, & Opel GT, & was told by a Chev salesman "Don't buy a Capri, it's unproven". I replied "It's based on the Cortina, which has won more racing titles than any car in history". We know how good the Vega was! Love hearing the sound. People who slag Capris are TWATS!!
Wonderful car: in the condition rare cars like this are meant to be: preserved, unmolested and completely standard. I call on those who really like Capris to NOT kit out and do theirs up, the same for earlier Escorts.
My regards to the owner of this Capri, I hope it keeps on going. Well done!
Holy crap look at the side view mirrors!! it looks cool but I can't see anyone being able to see anything out of them. I have a '74 Ford LTD [north american version], and though the mirrors are in the correct place, they're so damn small! they're totally useless, especially the passenger side one, but they look good, and they dont stifle the shape of the car and that's the important thing!
thats one nice pre face lift,shame about the roof and no bonnet power bulge,but she's a looker :-)my first car was a 71 pre face lift 1600L evergreen metalic,if i won the lottery..
great video. used to own a 1600L model in copper bronze metallic.(1973). I think they gave it a facelift circa'73. plenty of room under the bonnet, no doubt to squeeze in the larger engines available.eg2 and 3 litre engines.
hey mate, just like to give you a pat on the back for keeping such a beautiful car in imaculate condition, i bought myself a 70 1600gt as a project nearly finished ;) i like the little edition of what looks to be L plates
My eyes lit up when i saw your link and as i clicked i was thinking "hope it's not green"...lol. Beautifull car mate in stunning condition just not my fave colour...9/10.
As my video 'blurb' says this car has been in the family for 30 years, so I don't know if they are hard to get hold of. I have seen the odd one on e-Bay now again but the condition of the e-Bay ones does vary greatly, as do the prices.
I am in a local Ford club and we have several Capri's. Google 'Isle of Wight classic ford' for a look :)
I love it
