It would have been better if they had sourced a 2.0l BDG for the engine bay (with a really nice shinny pair of Twin 45's hanging on the side, Or throttle bodies), or even (at a pinch, at least it would have 16 valves) the 2.0l Zetec, instead of the 8v 2.0l twin-cam from the 1990's.


Other than that, ..........................Hmmmmmmmmm, Nostalgia mode engaged, .... Nice.


Edit bit.

I will always remember the First Capri I saw. It was Bright Yellow, sitting in the drive of a house in Bognor Regis, all its bagdes were covered with tape. But through the tape I could make out name and model. when I got home I asked my dad what a Ford Capri was. He said never heard of one. A week later Ford anounce the 'New Ford Capri', I felt so smug because I knew about it pre launch and had seen one.

Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Mk1 Capri in standard trim would fetch a lot more money, especially if it was the 3000E model.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
