    Had a gold 1.6 laser (Y reg) 1982 model back in 1996-99 (in my mid-20's)
    ...took me and two mates down to Cornwall..from Manchester for a 2wk camping tour, and also did a few tours of North Wales!
    ..it ended up running out of oil and that was that!
    I ended up moving to Cornwall 16 years ago 😉🤣

    In Australia the Ford Capri was brought out as a convertible sports car. The roof could come off it. Early 1990's here. I was attracted to them for my first car because of the sports look with convertible roof. Apparently though the reviews said they did have a lot of mechanical issues and weren't looked upon as being any good. But I do remember the Ford Capri coming out yes here in Australia. Not sure if it was just the Australian version that had a convertible roof.

    Hi
    I'm new to this channel
    I totally agree with every word you said
    I had a few capris when I was younger from a 1.3 2.0 2.8i & the mighty 3.0s absolutely brilliant cars
    All ford are doing in ruining their history
    If your going to bring a legend car name back at least make it a good f***ing car
    The problem is & I do believe this
    That the government want most car manufacturers to use the same few car designs as in the shell but just make alterations to like bumpers & lights etc to make them there own & this petrol diesel crap happening really doesn't help
    I have always owned a ford since my 1st ever car
    But now
    I honestly wouldn't buy a new ford even if you paid for it.
    Would love the opportunity to speak with you or meet up for a coffee to share our views cos I have many lol

    I do feel cars in the last 5 to 15 years have gone down hill. Most cars are trying to be pretentious looking like a Poundland Jaugar or Mercedes. I did like it when catchbacks wasnt trying to be pretentious or be something it wasnt and it is same with larger cars. The Capri looks like a f you to the old one with no character or personality.

    Mk3 Capri owner here. Think the values you have on the old one are bit optimistic. Reusing the name on something like that is a shame, but not a suprise, if they've used the Mustang and Puma name on shite suv's. There kind of is a Capri esque vehicle in the ford lineup with the V8 Mustang, but only really the equivalent to the 2.8 or 3.0, the more budget Capri's arent represented. Think you should stick it to Ford and get a proper Capri.
