Sadly, I'm not well versed in Capri lore here as they were sold under the Mercury umbrella. They were not revered here in the states as the Mustang has always held that honor.
I personally adore the Mk1 Escorts.
In fact, my next project will be a normally aspirated high revving Mk1 focus whose lump will hopefully sound like this mad Mk1 escort:

First I have to get finished with these two cars.

Minor update. I've been wanting to visually differentiate the two cars a bit as they have essentially the same wheels so I hired Dom to make some billet centercaps for the TD's.

Oops.

Got tired of waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting.

... (why oh why oh why didn't I listen to you my buddy Matt...) so I imported some genuine TD Motorsport Le Mans centercaps from the UK. Modified them slightly then epoxied them in permanently.
They look amazing. Still waiting for the epoxy to cure a bit before I mount them.

Here are some pics with the new open ended lugs mocked up, I really like how the shallow mounted caps plus the open ended lugs really transform the wheel:










Should have them mounted on the car in the next day or two.
