    Every time I watch your video it gives me goose bumps in 1980 I was 17 passed my test and was able drive my Capri MK1 3000e 1971 I was in heaven ( YLG113J) I have had 11 in my lifetime soon to be 12 thank you god bless 🇬🇧✌️👍🏻

    I had a 1976 Capri with the v6 4spd (US spec) and it handled better than the Camaros and Trans Ams and Vettes of similar years. Even 80s Irocs had a difficult time keeping up. The Capri was an amazing car for the money.

      Their 500hp 1.4L and 600hp 1.7L turbo BDA motors were something to drool over.
      When fitted by Zakspeed into something vaguely resembling a Capri (only the roof and the windscreen were exchangeable with a standard road-going Capri) they won 26 out of 34 races in the DRM against Porsche 935s and BMW M1 Procars. The year before they actually won every race in the 2L (including the 1.4 turbo factor) classes but Porsche pulled a dirty on them and got them disqualified over an alleged rear spoiler infringement at the end of the season.

    • @utubecomment21

      Much as I liked the original Sierra and Escort Cosworth's back in the day, reliable they most certainly weren't. Hands up I'm coming from a 350+hp 200,000+ mile no problem what-so-ever Lexus background, but if you think blowing a sub 200hp engine after 20,000 (Boss's Car) is reliable, then fair enough. For me, that's unacceptable! But in the 80/90's I experienced a few standard blown Cossie engines which was/is enough to deter me, so did this chap it would seem - ua-cam.com/video/TRtSk8uJJ5g/v-deo.html
      Not sure of the likes of Millington or Smith & Jones engines are any better.

    That Cosworth V6 was based on the 3.1-liter Essex V6 available on Mark I Capris sold in certain markets except the U.S. and Canada, where only the 2.6 and later 2.8-liter Cologne V6 were available. Standard engines were the 1.6-liter Kent OHV four, followed by the 2.0-liter OHC Lima four. For the later Capri II, the 2.3-liter OHC Lima four and 2.8 Cologne V6 were available on U.S. and Canadian versions.

It's had a complete mechanical make over due to sitting un-driven for 28 years! It now runs and drives, it only needs some misc. minor items to be finished. Oh, and the complete interior installed but that's not hard and we do have all of the parts.

      These original RS racers got Bilstein shocks, Ferodo brakes, and the front cross member got re-drilled to give the car some negative camber. Then the race engineers got to work on geometry and set up.. The RS smashed everything in its class, and even many of the group 4 racers in the class above. Bear in mind it only weighs about 950kgs..

I had a MK1 Capri Essex V6 years ago and kept modifying it to get more power. After spending a fortune and getting my ass kicked by a Opel Kadett GSI 16V Superboss I gave up sold it and bought a Superboss. In many ways I miss and regret selling that Capri.

    C’est vrai que ce serait cool de voir une version 21th century de la Capri.
    J’ai eu deux Capri 1,6 GT (250.000 Km chacune) de 1980 à 1995.
    Ensuite, je suis passé à la Mondéo SW .

      And why would you have a 292 Small Block Chev and a Muncie in a Capri when you could've had a 302 and Top Loader?? Ford Car, Ford Engine, Better Engine, Better Gearbox!
      I guess someone else fitted the Wrong Parts and you bought it like that. I'm sure it was Fun, just Sacrilege!

      @@ADRIAN-fb9xj well better is subjective and when I built this car there were no aftermarket parts to make a small block Ford even slightly competitive with a small Chevy and a Muncie is a better tougher trans than anything Ford ever made back in the early 70s

      I own a Capri Perana V8 which was a homologation special in South Africa back in the early 70's. 302 V8 and Borg Warner 4 speed. Scary and fast and had a factory warranty. Only about 500 were made

      ADRIAN good choice in motor and trans don’t listen to these ford guys. Nothing beats a small block Chevy. Easier to build and cheaper with more HP for the money. And the Muncie 4spd is a classic trans. Great choice all around.

      Style icon the capri. One would have to take it to the next level. The Mustang is over 50 year's. Plenty of 2L over 300bhp would be fine.

      @@ninjaxel93 the GT86 is a good engine but not fast enough. It's got to be around the 5 sec to 60 mark there's plenty of other cars. Your right about how big the new capri should be GT86 size.

      @@ENGBriseB Maybe make two versions, like the "base" ST and the RS for the focus, or like for the Mustang GT and the Ecoboost... speaking of it, the 2.3 Ecobost, would be a perfect engine for a new top of the line Capri RS, while the 1.5 could be the ST... but it must be a light car first and for all, or it would look like an underpowered mustang...
