Right alot of interest in this car and no it is not far sale the reason it is there is I am helping my friend sell all the other cars that are in front of it so that it can be taken out and put back on the road for his young son to restore together!
I don't know why but i love this Pinto sound 😅 my father in ninetis had 3 Capri, Granada and Sierra with this engines and still good memories when i hear it ❤ now my turn - Mk1 waiting for me Greetings from Poland! :)
Have owned 3 CAPRI'S in my days back in the 70's early 80's. 1600, 2 litre V4 and I was privileged to own a 3.000 litre V6 SAVAGE. JUST WISH I STILL OWNED IT TO DAY.😢 MY V4 I TOTALY REBUILT THE ENGINE. At home after getting it rebored, head skimmed, new pistons, rings, ect. A FANTASTIC car of it's time and still is in the right hands. BUT THIS GUY REALY DOES NOT KNOW HIS WAY AROUND ENGINES LET ALONE THE FORD CAPRI.
Great car, brings back some good memories I used to own one back in the 80s with the 2.0 Pinto there was a 1.6 version as well. This one has a water leak at the back of the engine probably from the heater matrix pipes
In the U.S. they had the Mercury badge and also came with a V6 that was a screamer. Mine was a 1973 with only a 4 cylinder but it was a simple car that was easy to work on and reliable until the rust became too much. Living where it snowed often in the Winter and salt was used on the roads wasn't kind to it at all unfortunately.
Just found your channel. It was so nice hearing the old girl cough into life. Gonna go through your videos and binge watch being ive got some free time at work
I have ownd around 8 capris from 1978 ,the best one was the 2.0 s and 3.0s. Every one has a k&n filter for that induction noise .the capri was a fantastic car .
I had a 2.0s with janspeed manifold and exhaust and a 3.0s which I bought cheap but turned out to be carb'd cologne v6 out of a Granada lol. Long time ago but were fun times. Capris were great cars to learn how to drive in. Wet roads and roundabouts were happy memories.
3:36 ahh yes, the sound of every car in the 80s/early 90s being dragged back to life on a weekday morning in anything other than high summer ( a random Wednesday to Sunday in August).
If your going to put stuff down the carbs on a car thats been lying up for years its good practice to put some 2 stroke fuel down there its helps to lubricate dry cylinders .. great video
I loved the Capri and had several throughout the eighties and nineties! i enjoyed the video watching you bring back to life this old lady! Is it a 1.6 or 2.0 litre Pinto? It sounded really smooth without any rattles or other noise. Like you mentioned, very bomb proof engines the old Pintos! So simple to work on in the days of fixing cars with "a hammer and screwdriver" 😊
Despite the registration showing last mot expired in May 2021 , I can’t see that car having passed its mot in May 2020 unless it was written on a fag packet 😂, also mileage recorded at 11,845 miles colour Black it looks Blue to me. Doesn’t look if it’s seen a mot centre in years 😂 maybe someone has a good explanation. Speedo shows 16,428 miles
i have owned the full range of capris my favourite was my mk1 1600 that i brought from a scrap yard for a £100 (bushy breakers) a very long time ago , i wish i could afford to buy one now
@@gary-kr7dm It wasn't interesting so I didn't bother filming as it's somthing obvious to do so I thought people would just assume I did it but clearly not!
You shouldn’t have to snort a capri for the smell of petrol, they used to manage that perfectly well on their own 😂😂 I reckon the reg plate is worth more than the car !!
the classic car hoarder from hell !!!! even the mororbikes at the back there are now part of the natural foliage !!!! i bet the neighbours love that scrap yard eye sore !!!! ffs !!

Always amazing to hear old cars comming back to life again.
MOT was valid in May 2021 so doesn't really count as a "find" as it was never "lost". 😉
Yes it does 2 years sat is long enough!

This actually sounds very sweet when you got it running.
That will be a nice project for your friend and son to do.Hope you update on its progress.x
Bored out to a 2.5 😂😂😂😂 I think you need to fact check
He said stroke it not bore it.
That's a strong running little four banger. With a two barrel carb! Cool

@@ftgoggi4715Agreed a Capri pirouetting around a wet corner or roundabout was my endearing memory too.

Love Capris awesome
Brings back good memories

I had 2 booted Capris, a 1.6 and a 2.L i don't recall either having a manual choke,i just used to pump the throttle twice to start it.

Where do you buy two stroke fuel?
@@gwaponobby think he meant oil
Those front seats look like early Audi TT ones.
It's a Ford Capri not an Audi TT.
@ChillToMusic 87 2:49 The side of the seat has a small tab with AIRBAG embossed on it Also, it's from an Audi TT 😂😂😂
@@T4TipsGuides definitely Audi front seats
@@gadgetboy38 I agree, and the rear seats are the original fabric ones.

It’s a 2Ltr.
Dash only creaked because you nearly ripped it off
Don't be daft it was before!
Is the Willys still for sale I saw it on FB a while back
Bit sad to see them all out in the open.
Before you start a car with a carburettor you should always pump the throttle twice before starting!!
Oh the irony I was just looking for you on Facebook LOL Somtimes my facebook can be buggy so was not sure if you found it ok 😁

Amazing how cars can deteriorate in 3 years when left outside, especially with some windows open.
Certainly looks blue, perhaps some 'plate swapping' has been going on.
Pinto’s were good strong engines, till the camshaft oil feed pipe fell off, and starved the cam lobes of precious lubricant.
Has not been there that long, last MoT only expired may 17th 2021.
Yeah we are trying to sell the car in front of it so it can be got into the garage
Hello from Wolverhampton
Hello =)
Had loads of capris. Still got a few 👍👍. Great cars.
"Still got a few."
I like your style.
Pinto sounds nice, shell looks solid needs saving 👌😁
He is going to save it with his son follow for more of that!
@@classic_britain cool 👍
i have owned the full range of capris my favourite was my mk1 1600 that i brought from a scrap yard for a £100 (bushy breakers) a very long time ago , i wish i could afford to buy one now
Hahaha nice the good old days
7 minutes in was enough for me.

Obvs didn't have E10 shite in it! 😆
Nah sod that snake oil!
It's a cinquecento.... mostly 🤗
How long was the fuel in that tank that u was dragging through the pump and the carb?
We drained it off camera was so tight in there I could not film it
Couldn't have been that old. The car was still on the road in 2021.
@@classic_britain will there be more content on the car do love an old Ford being brought back to life
That lad needs a skip more than you do 🤐
The place is sh#t hole
Tell your companion to cheerup a bit,sounds as if he has woken up wrong side of bed?😱😱😱
Yeah his a right smiley miley 😂
He's having a hard time atm so please don't make comments like this
You would be pissed off as well if you had to put up with this idiot all effing day.
That fiat passenger door should be red
OMG, please pull it out of there and restore it!
What's the story with this one. How did a nice old bus like that become neglected?
My friend runs a fab shop and he is super super busy so just lack of time.
Who would actually crank a car with old fuel. That's ridiculous
It's not old fuel we drained it just not on camera
We’re is this mate is it for sale ?
No
It was the f2 stock car guys who used the Ford pinto engine.
My favourite car ❤
Please rebuild her she lives nice 1
Result ! Any plans for it ?
His son and him are going to do it!
@@classic_britain fantastic :) love it when they’re saved :)
Mercury Capri. Right.
Leather seats from Audi tt mk1 I’d guess
Audi TT seats in that capri
Nice old motor
Is there enough oil in that engine?
Yes we do check thease things
the porsche plates are irish...tidy capri that.
Northern Ireland....not the same as Irish.👍
Have U Ever Try A Bit of Thinners to Start.
It Surely Work Drive Ford V6 Over 30 Years.
Clean Same Time.
How about NEW fuel, and clean out carb
We did!
OMG 1st time.
U smoke the starter😂
If it’s been standing idle for a few years, the petrol in it would have gone off. It needs draining and refilling.
We did that but did not film it.
@@classic_britain You didn’t mention that in the video.
@@gary-kr7dm It wasn't interesting so I didn't bother filming as it's somthing obvious to do so I thought people would just assume I did it but clearly not!
Nice reg plate. 😂
Hahaha you got it ;)
Shame its not a 2.8 🤣🤣
That needs digging out and saving
Why has it been sat there left especially when it's a runner
He has a load of other cars he is selling so he can get it out ot fix it!
I spot an abandoned Pinto
You sure do!
Same company yes.but two different departments.ford made the EXP.

When you said you were good at this... .you're totally wrong 😑 what a fiasco . And what's with the swearing 🤬
I use a pinto to stop my boat drifting away
