Ford Capri

 

Newest Review: ... modern alternatives. Who will ever forget “Del Boy’s” famous “pratmobile”, the Capri Ghia in the smash hit comedy “Only Fools ... more

 ... And Horses”, or Body and Doyle dashing around the place in their souped-up Capri in the famous 70’s crime series “The Professionals”. (Both series are currently showing on UK Gold, the satellite channel) ~ ~ I must admit that I made a mistake when I purchased my 1300XLR model Capri back in early 1973. Of all the different models of Capri, (and the choice was huge) the 1298cc model was without a doubt the worst car, inheriting an engine from the staid and boring Ford Escort that quite literally couldn’t pull its way ...more

Crowned Review Ford Capri: The Car You Always Promised Yourself (1344 words)

~ ~ The title of this review “The Car You Always Promised Yourself” was part of the Ford advertising campaign for the Ford Capri when it was first released back in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. It was designed to appeal to the hearts (and loins) of a motoring public at the time when the best affordable cars the motoring public were being offered in the UK were awful dogs of automobiles like the Austin 1100, Hillman Avenger, and Morris Marina. Indeed, my one and only Ford Capri replaced a bloody dreadful Austin 1100, which was about as much fun to drive as a three-wheeled bicycle! ~ ~ The Ford Capri was produced at the old Ford Halewood factory in ...

They are usually bought cheaply and either restored and kept by us for a while, or if they are too far gone, the useful parts are taken out and transplanted into Capris that would otherwise remain on the ‘critical list’! I always find it hard to watch as the corpses of the donor cars are carried off to the scrap-yard, but comfort myself with the thought that one more Capri is going to stay on the road ...
