Hello :) Yes I have the original but the quality is not much better, anyway I have uploaded it (and everything else I had on the channel). It's in "TV Shows" mega.nz/folder/stRVTCjB#lEOqT73tPwnb9wdIa3AMRA

SUPERB car!! The Capri achieved everything it set out to and then some. If only I could've owned mine for longer. I took ownership of my grey Mk III at 100+ thousand miles; it was an excellent car that drove faultlessly EVERY day for eleven years. We tidied the paint, gained a few horsepower & uprated the suspension. The grin factor on this car is HUGE and only matched by an American muscle car of the same 60s-70s era, which I'm pleased to say I now own, despite having to part with the Capri (which a young spanner-head bought & converted into a racer - so, happy ending). Thank you for an excellent documentary & I'm delighted to see the Capri deservedly achieve classic, sought-after status.
he wants something like it was when he was 12 years old, and he is wondering about his girlfriend leaving him. she went to something bigger than his hood, she wanted more than his tiny two liters, or inches
For sure, Perana in SA. Small block V8 fits fine, two blokes that I knew of did the swap in my city. Alternatively Ford could have fitted Cosworth BDA-BDG for a hot and light RS special.
Original Mercury Capri was the same as Euro Capri (derived of a Cortina platform), then the 1979-86 was based on the Fox body. Ironically, this car had a patent for the fuel tank the Pinto was meant to have.
My Dad owed a 1971 Mercury Capri. Believe me it was no Pinto! It was a great little car that I learned to drive a manual transmission on. Love to have one today.

@CapriMK4 Hello. Do you by any piece of luck have the orginal digital copy of this before UA-cam put their compression on the video?

Best European Ford ever
52 now, got as far as a 2.0 Laser in Diamond white, She was mint, She was my forth and final, Good Days
Most think based on the Cortina.....was actually the Corsair floorpan.
Did manage a 2.0S in Red through those four, third I think, Good Days

You could make a Capri worthwhile - stuff a V8 in it! That's what was done in South Africa.

Too derivative. Compare the 3 litre to the Datsun 240Z, which was cheaper and .......
Capri all day every day
in the "states", it was the Mercury Capri, aka a Pinto in drag. silly British!
You do know that the Capri and Pinto are completely different cars...
mr bad example mr bad example Capri nice car... Pinto ugly piece of shit. Silly American
And the Capri was way more safe than a Pinto, since the capri wont explode if you shut the rear hatch to hard X)
