I had 3 Capris in the day. An importerd 2.1 pinto, 3.0 Ghia and a 3.0s. God I loved them. :arghh:. I'll just have one of the 3.0 back :(

I used to unload them brand new off the transporter, back in the day. I did like the 3.0 Ghia model.:thumbsup:

My first car was a Capri 1600 gtxlr and many years later I had a 2.8 injection that was a great car.

Always wanted, never owned a Ford Capri. I had pictures of those + Mustangs on my wall. No Lambos or Ferraris then :p

At least a Capri was miles closer than a Lambo or Ferrari...so is nowadays. Nothing changed!:D

I had a 77 mk2 Daytona yellow 2ltr ghia that I barrel rolled into oblivion one night in 1984 when I ran out of talent. Such a shame she was a minter.

Well mate, at least you lived to tell the tale.:). Not sure you would've if you had been in a roadster though.

I had a blue metallic 3.0s SKY 318J that some ****** stole while at a concert in Knebworth Park. I got it back, but only to say goodbye, because it was completely trashed and bashed up. So sad! :-(.

Never owned a Ford Crapi as I was an Escort fan :) but looking back really loved the face lifted Mk1 for the body style and lights etc.

The mk3 was the best looking in the end so a 2.8i would be my choice.

I know of someone with a Brooklands for sale if anyone interested in the contact.
