The Capri was a one off that can't be replicated. If they tried, it would probably end up as some awful SUV with an electric motor. No thanks, I'll stick with the original masterpiece.
These absolutely works of art, are righfully cherished in the car community. Not a capri fan myself, but definitely a fan of anyone putting this level of effort and determination into a vehicle. The results speak for themselves. Absolutely amazing!
I am so sad to hear Rusty has passed away. He was a lovely man and I bought my first YB engine unit from him at the “Union Garage” he showed me how to wire up the unit, which I made 4x4 and shelled it into an XR4x4 on a D plate. He was building the Capri at the time and WOO started life as 1.6 Lazer automatic. I had endless 1/4 mile races at York Raceway with Rusty in H810 JNE and he like most drag racers where a small friendly community, H810 JNE eventually managed a 10.96 quarter in the early 90’s and it was all thanks to Rusty, teaching me the craft.
he fitted me a torque convertor in my supra i used to go to racing at york and sandapod, i had a bump in mine at york been sat for years, some great memories back in the day and rusty was a nice humble guy. my best time was 11.962@114mph on stock turbos but with cams and cam gears and decatted exhaust. seen your just do 1/8th mile racing now. when i had a mk3 supra in the 90s had a couple of mates with xr 4x4 cars. do like the old fords like mk1 escorts
Im American, but i have family in Birmingham. In 2004 i was visiting my cousin and we watched that damn dvd 300 times. I couldn't believe it when i saw the thumbnail. Ive been telling my buddies here about that car for 20 years. Right on man. Respect.
It was built years ago by Mr Kennedy (can't remember first name) and went 0-60 in under 3sec 20yr ago. Absolutely mental........edit Peter Kennedy that's it
What a Beauty!! I’m in love ❤❤ Thanks to God it’s been restored and now will be around for many years to come!! Hip Hip Hurrah what awesome friends!! Thanks for this video, even your musical score 🎼 is banging ‼️
I remember this capri, nice to see it up on you tube, it was definitely around in mid 90s, he lived around Glossop area I believe, a friend of mine went out in. So he basically cut the front off (bulkhead forward) welded the Sierra front on and put the capri body panels back on.
Remember years ago when i used to go to car cruises with my skyline r33 mate called lee from leeds. he had a mechanic mate over on moors on m62 he was called rusty he had a capri 4x4 cosworth powerd he built the car. he had a thunder saloon cosworth shell in his garage. He used to race in lots of events against other escort cosworths. Rusty the guy fitted me a uprated torque convertor for me in my supra. many years ago round about 2002 to 2003. Sad news to hear he passed away he was a very humble guy from the few times i have met the guy. will always remember his garage with the single hydrolic car lift that when he was working on the car would drop 2 inch. glad to have met the guy and salut his skills producing a iconic car. R.I.P rusty
Certainly is a beautiful looking car, I'm 59 years old now, how time fly's, I had 2 capris back in my younger days a 3 litre v6 then a 1.6 GL, both crackers to drive, i still like cars and done a project all on my own by converting a bmw e46 convertable into a m3 convertable, and it looks lovely, it kind of made me skip a heart beat when he said Rusty had passed away, as it makes me feel sad when a engineer like myself, has built a beautiful machine in his time only to pass away, anyway great film enjoyed the memory .
I can actually remember reading about this car in Max Power magazine all those years ago. I'd always loved the Capri, and seeing one with a Cosworth 4x4 conversion and finished in Mallard green, well it didn't get much better than that! I also remember being amazed at the amount of work and ingenuity that had gone into this build.
British Racing Green, if you please. sir. I remember seeing the conversion in the Capri Club International fanzine in the '90s. A truly awesome conversion.
I just want one, always loved Capris, this is the best one ever, we didn't see a lot of them downunder in Oz and my previous favourite was an RS3100 driven by A.J.Cant at Bathurst then restored to road going
Rusty was a legend round them parts he built my mates sapphire cosworth and that was some machine. He was the man to go to for ford's( RIP Rusty you legend cheeRS for the memories x) good video buddy
O.M.G. What a car . as a Capri owner back in the late 70s and a car sprayer , what a first class paint job , let alone everything else the fantastic car as had done , i still dream and wish I had mine . TOP CAR IS THAT .
What an absolute credit to Rusty and the people looking after it today 👏 👏👏 back in the late 70s a mate had an old battered Morris 1000 that others would pull along side and take the P out of. What they didn't know it was powered by a V8 3500cc engine and he used to wave good by to them with a massive smile 🤣🤣
What a lovely story. Not usually a capri lover but WOW this is something super special. The smile on your face says it all. I know exactly how you are feeling I found my late fathers series one rs turbo 20 years after he sold it. I was lucky enough to persuade the owner to sell it to me. It’s absolutely mint. I love it. You just can’t beat the old school fords. 👍 Great video. CheeRS
Blown away to be honest, the car is unbelievably stunning the paint the interior its beautiful then the performance and engineering invloved, then a story good enough for a movie. Thankyou cracking information 👍
I remember back in the day various Capris 2.8i and 3ltrs driving around Barnet and seriously they left everything behind!! they are always going to be an iconic car! Live on the Capri 😃
I remember seeing it run an 11 on a pretty damp York Dragway back around 2000, it just hunkered down and went like hell. Completely forgot it was in that dvd.
Went to York raceway with a friend back in the day got to say I wasn’t really bothered about going but boy I’m so glad I did ! There was a cosworth capri that smashed everything it raced (obviously WOO) it stuck in my mind ever since that day it was stupid fast for the time i mean just WOW ! I couldn’t get my head round how that car left the line never seen a car move like it and I didn’t know that it was in a clarkson video or think I would ever see it again that car has been on my mind best part of 30 years , mate the impression that car left on me was insane I didn’t want a Ferrari I didn’t want a Porsche I wanted that capri and I’m so glad you have put it on you tube 👍🏽😎 just made my day ! Fantastic thank you 🙏🏼
Okay normally I'm long-winded but I'm going to try and be short and sweet. I'm a 46 year old American, who in the '80s found out about top gear, I had family stationed in Europe so they brought your all's magazines back home to us and we had the Capri in America. I always thought they were cool, when I saw this thing I wanted one. Years later video video games allowed me to create my dream where I didn't have the money in reality to do it. I told people about this car and the inspiration for it and people never believed that it existed when I told them, a few Brits that I've raced on the game knew about it but otherwise it was relatively unknown. Now I can share this story with my video game buddies who don't know about it. Thank you so much man for bringing back a very great memory of a very early inspiration for a car geek.
Great job mate !! I had a Laser 1.6 in the 80s as couldn't afford a 2.8 injection, although that was the one I really wanted. A corporal colleague of mine had a black 2.8i when I was in the RAF, I was always jealous of Leroy "Blakey" Blake back then. I managed to blow my Capri up on the M40, Leroy came and saved me in his 2.8i, never forgotten that day !! Yours looks amazing.
I remember the clarkson video , and the max power magazine, this car was like a Unicorn it was rare and desired and talked about in hushed whispers by those that knew, I remember trying to tell people about this but before the web the only known public available stuff was the mag and vhs .... for 20 + years I searched the Web just for a picture , I had to settle for screen grabs etc , I would like to say r.i.p rusty he probably never knew the cult underground following that spread in the early days I was aware it was drag raced but could never get over to see it back.in the day , and to rusty and his freinds and the current owner I thank you for keeping a dream (as that's all it would ever be for me) alive and running. This car is a true gem and I hope that it continues to be around for the future and continues to inspire people and the current generations. And thanks for the video it made me smile and for a moment I remember being younger and thinking the first time I saw this (already a massive max power and fast car mag fan) I want that ..... I want thay over all else and Would deffinatly of lost my licence lmao Too one
I doubt very much if this is now "the slowest car on the road"! As an owner of various Capris in the early 80s I appreciate WOO for the iconic car and unique build that it is. So inspiring. Want to look for another Capri now 😁👍👌😎
God Bless you, Rusty. What a beautiful beast. Will never forget my Mum and Dads, his and her Capri's aka the British Mustang. Such an iconic car. I currently own a Mustang GT Gen2 Coyote. Ford all the way, Baby! 🐴 💪😎✌
12 mins 34secs. The clocks are out of a sapphire cosworth but mounted in the capri housings. Absolutely love this car, first saw it at a max power event, clearing very fast, then it’s on Jeremy clarksons dvd. Always wondered what engine was in it, now I know, thanks so much for doing this video. RIP rusty
This car is legendary. Love the video Beardy. Does anyone else here remember a black 5 door Sierra with a red drivers door and grey bonnet that used to do the rounds on the Oldham and Rochdale car scene. It had a 2.9 cosworth engine with a turbo technics and 4x4 conversion and was running well over 500hp. For a time it annihilated anything it went up against. Don’t know if Rusty worked on that car too? The owner wanted to buy my sapphire cossie shell but we couldn’t agree a price.
Woo :) i remember this car back in the day. Superb car, and looks superb today. I was lucky enough to be in that DVD Full Throttle, i was 1 of the 10 Escort Cossie owners :) way back. Great days and great fun. Great video.
A ford capri was the 1st car I drove. It was in the snow on a pub car park on a quiet evening it was like the waltzers at the fairground absolute amazing memory thank you for jogging that 1 as the person I was with is no longer here. Rest pops.
Wow what a thing of beauty i remember seeing wow at york sw and it blew away the lot,I've always been a ford owner my first car was a capri 2.8 injection special in black it cost more to Insure than it did to buy to it,it total I've had 7 capri's including 2 280 brooklands,just love them proper cars you can't beat old school fords I'm in an st at the moment and I love it God bless you Rusty your legacy will live on.
Hi I had a escort r/s turbo and a sierra cosworth 4x4 . The legend RUSTY worked on both off them what that guy knew was amazing he will be sadly missed take care my friend
That is absolutely beautiful dude what a fantastic car , and great story to ….rip rusty hope your showing them how build decent cars in the great garage in the sky ✊
Great car, great video and an excellent salut to its creator Rusty. I was personally never into Capris and never thought of combining Sierra 4x4 technology and the Capri III’s definitely good looks. What a wonderful outcome! Now I’m reevaluating the Capri in my mind . . . but now it would have to be 4x4. Thanks for all the effort, cost and dedication you put into researching, planning and producing these very exceptional and for me sometimes inspirational videos.
But if its true to its original form, its gotta stay. Plus tbh I remember in the millennium everyone had a 4" Outward Rolled tip on their Ford so this is fairly subtle by Ford standards
You should do a video with his boys recalling the memories of some of their romps!! All the glorious sordid details!! Yeah you should do it!! Get his mates together n have some drinks 🍺 n record!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Im a local lad and met rusty up at his unit as my old boss was building a 4 door saffy. Really nice bloke and very interesting. I to saw Woo in the back garden and couldn't believe it. He had a really nice xpack rally spec Sierra from memory.
My sister had an old one from 1986 which was basically a mustang with lock washers plus it was a convertible. It was a terrifying car. My bro used to sneak it out and race it on Gratiot and/or Woodward.
Sensational beautiful gorgeous car. I actually remember reading about it in Max Power back in the day! Proper Beast; drooling! I had aCapri back in 1988!DKE383T. It’s a shame Ford haven’t got a successor to the Capri. Fantastic video and a very poignant end. RIP Rusty.
What a brilliant story, I can remember the Car and the DVD but this is enlightenment. The build on this car is absolutely top drawer. It's like it was built in a way that it was meant to be in the first place.
Fantastic, never saw the Clarkson video but very much remember the magazine right up of this fantastic bit of engineering. Combined my three favourite things at the time, the Capri (mate had a 1.3L!!), the ford 4x4 system (work mate had the XR4x4) and of coarse the Cosworth engine (well , what we all wanted!). Thank you TTEC for the video and your very obvious passion for the car and the person behind it
It is a beautiful car , beautifully restored , the performance is a bonus , Rusty was obviously a genius , Ford should bring back the Capri.
The Capri was a one off that can't be replicated. If they tried, it would probably end up as some awful SUV with an electric motor. No thanks, I'll stick with the original masterpiece.
If ford had made the probe or cougar rear wheel drive they would have sold 10-50x as many as they did imo 👍
Thing is it’s not a Capri though. It’s a saph floor pan. So I’m struggling to see how it kept it’s capri identity.
@@gf845 😳
They definitely should. It'd be great if they did. Proper bloke's car.
Absolutely a brilliant story finding WOO in the bushes 👍🙂😎
These absolutely works of art, are righfully cherished in the car community. Not a capri fan myself, but definitely a fan of anyone putting this level of effort and determination into a vehicle. The results speak for themselves. Absolutely amazing!
Never been a Capri fan but appreciate an amazing conversion. She looks superb and hope she has a long and cherished life.
Absolutely!

Gorgeous car for sure, I love the colour too
If i had to pick between this and a 2022 anything, id choose this. It's so beautiful
No contest. Its the kinda power the Capri always deserved.
What can i say the man who pit this together was a artisan. CANT BEAT OLD SCHOOL specially fords. Absolutely love this car..
It was built years ago by Mr Kennedy (can't remember first name) and went 0-60 in under 3sec 20yr ago. Absolutely mental........edit Peter Kennedy that's it
AN artisan
I remember that dvd I used to watch it with my grandad. that's crazy altogether how this popped up... rusty was a proper legend.

Stunning car and a beautiful peace of history. So glad it's being looked after.

I knew this car was special when i first saw it on Instagram a couple of weeks ago, after watching this special just doesn't do her any justice!
this story has put tears in my eyes, thankyou for sharing this.

That's a real legend.. RIP Rusty.
I just stumbled on this video and what a cracking motor, I remember the dvd and what a flying machine it was and still is.
I remember your corsa from back in the day on corsasport forum and shows and meets. Keep up the good work. 👍 Regards KITcorsa
I remember back in the day various Capris 2.8i and 3ltrs driving around Barnet and seriously they left everything behind!! they are always going to be an iconic car!
Live on the Capri 😃
I absolutely loved the Capri, My folks had one, My brother had one.... And this one is in epic condition.... Well done that man 👍
Holy throw back !! Wow that’s a car I’ve not seen for absolute years awesome to know it’s being cared for top video buddy as always
Cheers man👌
I remember seeing it run an 11 on a pretty damp York Dragway back around 2000, it just hunkered down and went like hell. Completely forgot it was in that dvd.
Wasn't there a twin engined Renault 5 GT Turbo that also ran at York ?
I remember this car and even when I was in my late teens I said one day I'll build this!
You don't know how much I would love to see this in person!
You should tag Clarkson in and see if he remember the car, would be good as a tribute to the gent that built it. Beautiful build love the colour 👍

Met him once at a mad cruise, top bloke stood talking about the car for ages 👌
At Full Throttle!!!! I watched that hundreds of times as a kid… absolutely brilliant, I can’t believe this is the same Capri!?
Best paint job ive seen for many years
Ford Capri Mk3 4x4 Cosworth is Pure Class, what a Motor leaves the 1000hp Toyota Supra, Holden & Brabus for dust. Clever Man Rusty hat's off RIP 🎩🙏
12 mins 34secs. The clocks are out of a sapphire cosworth but mounted in the capri housings. Absolutely love this car, first saw it at a max power event, clearing very fast, then it’s on Jeremy clarksons dvd.

Antique art 👏🏻👏🏻
Still think the silencers are too big.
However……. Hell yeah.
What an absolute beauty…,I had a cosworth 4x4 and a Capri 2.8 special ( wish I had now ) but this looks absolutely perfect 👍…. Rip Rusty
My favorite Capri shape. And what a wonderful paint job!
What a lovely beautiful outstanding car the capri was the one for me . I loved the 2.8 capri . Keep that car safe RIP Rusty
Woo :) i remember this car back in the day. Superb car, and looks superb today.
I was lucky enough to be in that DVD Full Throttle, i was 1 of the 10 Escort Cossie owners :) way back. Great days and great fun.
Great video.
I'm in love, not only is it a tool it's stunning. She's beauty and the beast in one
A ford capri was the 1st car I drove. It was in the snow on a pub car park on a quiet evening it was like the waltzers at the fairground absolute amazing memory thank you for jogging that 1 as the person I was with is no longer here. Rest pops.
I remember that DVD i had one
I remember this Capri too
Good to see it’s still alive!
Wow what a thing of beauty i remember seeing wow at york sw and it blew away the lot,I've always been a ford owner my first car was a capri 2.8 injection special in black it cost more to Insure than it did to buy to it,it total I've had 7 capri's including 2 280 brooklands,just love them proper cars you can't beat old school fords I'm in an st at the moment and I love it
God bless you Rusty your legacy will live on.
Smith and Sniff sent me here and all that. Awesome build on that side of things.
What a legend he was never meet him would have loved to thanks for posting. RIP Rusty.
Nice video. Very respectful to Rusty his friends and family.
Lush beastie. The Capri is such a unique car. Always thought so.
Hi I had a escort r/s turbo and a sierra cosworth 4x4 . The legend RUSTY worked on both off them what that guy knew was amazing he will be sadly missed take care my friend
What a combination.. even in todays performance, its a weapon. Can’t help but notice Honda crx leather seats lol
Lovely glassy paint. She looks amazing👍🏻
Paintwork is amazing
That is absolutely beautiful dude what a fantastic car , and great story to ….rip rusty hope your showing them how build decent cars in the great garage in the sky ✊
Lovely paint! Cool and unique car. Thanks for the clip.
Just stunning I felt like I was 21 again watching this amazing capri
Great car, great video and an excellent salut to its creator Rusty. I was personally never into Capris and never thought of combining Sierra 4x4 technology and the Capri III’s definitely good looks. What a wonderful outcome! Now I’m reevaluating the Capri in my mind . . . but now it would have to be 4x4. Thanks for all the effort, cost and dedication you put into researching, planning and producing these very exceptional and for me sometimes inspirational videos.
Best Capri that I've ever seen.
That is a very special car. Excellent engineering and it is great to see it well looked after now.
That sir, is a very special bit of kit. Superb ❤
I'm not really a ford fan but how can you not be touched by this car. Thanks for bringing it to us that did not see the original vid.
Lovely Car!! would be worth bringing up to date, Modern ECU, Injectors etc.. Not a Huge fan of the rear Back boxes though
Rear silencers are gash.
But if its true to its original form, its gotta stay. Plus tbh I remember in the millennium everyone had a 4" Outward Rolled tip on their Ford so this is fairly subtle by Ford standards
@@paulwisdom5383 if it hasn't got a 4" rolled tip it's not a cossie or an rst 😂😂
No!!!
The twin can 4 inch was the must have of the day
@@gavinrichardson3918 it really wasn't. The boxes are too large and hang too low.
What a stunning beast of a car 👌
You should do a video with his boys recalling the memories of some of their romps!! All the glorious sordid details!! Yeah you should do it!! Get his mates together n have some drinks 🍺 n record!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thats in Superb condition. Amazing
Im a local lad and met rusty up at his unit as my old boss was building a 4 door saffy. Really nice bloke and very interesting. I to saw Woo in the back garden and couldn't believe it.
He had a really nice xpack rally spec Sierra from memory.
Great looking ford Capri the specs are amazing 😍
God bless Rusty, had a 200 bhp rs fezzi in the day. So glad his friends are keeping her and a little bit of him still alive ❤
My sister had an old one from 1986 which was basically a mustang with lock washers plus it was a convertible. It was a terrifying car. My bro used to sneak it out and race it on Gratiot and/or Woodward.
What a legend he was and what a legacy to leave behind 👏👏👏
Remember this well like you say from the early 2000's, he used to come the cruises in it 😎👍🏻
Wow wot a fantastic example of a Capri really love it
Remember this in max power..beautiful machine so glad it's still here
You rescued a legend,I had all Clarksons dvds back in the day and remember this capri. I'm sure it was put against a cerbera too
This car should have its own movie.
Paint on that is absolutely awesome 👌
Sensational beautiful gorgeous car. I actually remember reading about it in Max Power back in the day! Proper Beast; drooling! I had aCapri back in 1988!DKE383T. It’s a shame Ford haven’t got a successor to the Capri. Fantastic video and a very poignant end. RIP Rusty.
.....probe,cougar,puma lmao....tbh I do like a puma 1.7
Old Fords never die - they just go faster.
I remember this fondly, I used to buy all the clarkson specials, thank you so much for this 👍🏻
Our pleasure 👍🏻
Pure Cool from start to finish and clearly the guys life also
What a car and great story mate very cool !!
Have never seen this car before but I'm an instant fan. The backstory is excellent. Thanks for showing this and telling Rustys story.
Beautiful motor Beautiful story! Rip rusty may his legacy forever roll on👍
What a brilliant story, I can remember the Car and the DVD but this is enlightenment. The build on this car is absolutely top drawer. It's like it was built in a way that it was meant to be in the first place.
Absolutely beautiful car, I remember it from the Clarkson video. Great stuff.
Fantastic, never saw the Clarkson video but very much remember the magazine right up of this fantastic bit of engineering. Combined my three favourite things at the time, the Capri (mate had a 1.3L!!), the ford 4x4 system (work mate had the XR4x4) and of coarse the Cosworth engine (well , what we all wanted!). Thank you TTEC for the video and your very obvious passion for the car and the person behind it
Beautiful looking Capri 👌🏻
