Beautiful car, always wanted one as a lad, obviously didn't get one for financial reasons back then, someone will snap it up and hopefully cherish it 👍
if you grew up in this era these are the cars of dreams now. back then some now fast fords was 10 a penny. Now Dream cars. Amazing to see it looking this way 🫡
That is a well-balanced stylish capri, the British have always had the styling edge over the Americans with their cars. I love it, well done, thank you for sharing and take care.
@@Pyoutube2023 Really? I'm stunned! I honestly didn't know that. MANY thanks for pointing that out to me. There are some American cars that I do like from the 1960's, mainly Lincoln, Cadillac, Pontiac and Chevrolet but the British seem to have a "calmer" (for want of a better term) or quieter style about them. Again, many thanks and I will stand corrected. Take care and all the very best.
Interesting comments,mostly from people who have probably never owned one. Having owned over a dozen capris,I find it laughable the comments about handling,rust etc..they are no different from any other rwd car in the wet from that era of car. Anybody watching footage from the nurburgring will see BMW s hitting the barriers having snapped into a double oversteer. The Capri never did this,it was utterly neutral and vice free,with controlled predictable oversteer. Anybody at Goodwood watching Jake Hill hustle a 3.0S will see the car was very quick in its day in the wet or the dry. Reguarly beating mustangs,camaros around the track. All in period. As for rust ask yourself why if they were so bad,why 37 years after production ended so many still survive. People forget they were of their time and still have a huge following today. Deservedly so.
Luckily, it still has its original cassette deck. Without those, proper cars from the time when everything was proper and better too are worth around one-third of their full potential.
Had a Brookie 280, stupidly sold it in the nineties only done 38k. BIGGEST regret of my life……would die to have it back Think it was sold for about 3 to 4 k.
lovely, but I still own a 1971 mk 1 that I've had for 33years , daytona yellow , one owner before me 1600 gt . last of the mk1's before face lift . I'll never sale it. my kids hate , but it's all the inheritance they are getting . it's mint . God I love the capri....... this new suv is not going to appeal to anyone who knows . 😉
Spotted a capri ghia ladt year.. walking past it ,though it looked immaculate it looked so out of place...esp the gap between the arch n wheels. A timeframe im aware of xr2,s astea gte's etc..

This is why I do not understand the SUV obsession. But I don't understand tattoos on young women either. It's an age thing I suppose.
I'm with you Wilkins. I'm 56.
I don't understand tattoos at all.
Yeah mate only Māoris and sailors should have tattoos
It's a curious modern day phenomenon, tattoos on women.
Fabulous ! Had one early 90s E379 0HA , great car 😊
THIS EXACT CAPRI & THE 2.8 GRANADA CHASSEUR POSTERS WERE/WHAT COVERED MY BEDROOM WALL . WOW ! FORDS GLORY DAYS (DAZE) .
Lovely car had a capri for years in the 80s loved it😂😂😂😂
1980’s Ford, rust and engines hated rain. But great cars.
What a beauty! Interesting interior not seen one like that before in a Capri.
Der schönste Ford Capri, den es je gab.
Great car. The only other one to consider is the 3.0 S.
This is definitely a head turner 💯
I always wanted one of those but couldn't afford it so had to have a two litre mk 2 i did love it
Lovely car.
One of the best!!
That interior is one I not seen before

The Capri was designed by the American Philip Thomas Clark…

Nice Motor an on a E plate. Off the Cologne factory for the UK 🇬🇧
I had a E reg 2.8i Special about 24 years ago,I think the colour was Caspian blue,55k FSH,another car of many I should have kept😢
Had a Brookie 280, stupidly sold it in the nineties only done 38k. BIGGEST regret of my life……would die to have it back
Think it was sold for about 3 to 4 k.
I had a mark one 3liter with a 3-1 rs engine in it back in the day, had to put a bag of sand in the boot to stop it twitching through the gears ....
Yep. Me too.
Lovely. How many Miles She´s got?
Cool 😎 👌👍
