I must admit I like the earlier ones.

I like the final model before they stopped making it (Mk3?)

I remember being at school and a lad at the 6th form had a 2.0 as his first car. Looked so cool

 

It was when it first came out, Stayed cool for a while. not so cool when the Mk2 came out,Redeamed its self on the Mk3 2.8 Brooklands and Tickfords which are quite rare and very cool these days so "yes" its a cool car in my book

 

I work with a lad who's restored a mk1 in black, that looks very cool

 

I think this is nice

Yepo deffo cool cars but can not believe how much the MK1's go for now

 

i think there not that cool but im 27 so i didnt grow up with them. I see so many old weirdos driving them around. They prob brought it from new and kept it all there lives. But as someone says even though there not cool they will make good money for a good one

 

my dads first car was a mark 1 capri he always talks about it was whitle with a black vinyl roof reg EOI 180

i think he would like aother one now but he says it would be a let down with no power. keep telling him he needs one with a yb in it lol

 

Very cool. MK1's worth a lot now and very nice.

MK2 was poorly-received at the time, but still look good to me.

MK3 Capri has been a bargain classic Ford for a long time, but now seem to be increasing in price fairly rapidly for good ones.

 

I would love a capri mk2 xpack with a big V8

 

id feel embarrassed to be seen driving one so no theyre not cool.

The VERY occasional








Wether they are 'cool' or not, i do'nt care.
All personal opinion.

 

this could be the new one coming out in 2012 ?

 

Q. Is a capri a cool car?

A. Yes, very

End of thread.

 

Mk1s are the model to have thats for sure ,were seen as chavvy cars in the 80s now they are the must have classic

 

I always got the feeling it was a kinda creepy/sex pest/serial killer's car, just odd imo.

 

lol mint!

 

Deffo a cool car I had 13 of them over the years from a 1.6 to a 280 and a converted 2.8 into a rover 3.5 v8 would deffo have another one

 

Agreed!

 

That yellow mk1 is lovely, I will try and get a pic of my mates mk1

 

Yep cool car, had this one about 20 years back

 

in a word: yes

i never grew up with them, but since my dad bought one, i love em! especially the mk3's

and that pic up there of the "new capri", its a shitty photo shop

 

I loved my old 3.0S



3.1 with Swaymar Holley conversion and Janspeed exhausts.

COOL

 

their was an earlier capri the capri consul any capri is cool its a ford

 

Very cool now and always have been too me as iv grown up with them.they have seem to left the bad image they gad years ago behind them now, used to have loads of grief off people when driving mine but everyone stops, chats and takes pictures now.

 

Genuine rs3100? That looks mint, want one.

 

Peter sutcliffe, the Yorkshire ripper, had a mk1 3.0 at one point so your right in a way! Plus cliff Richard had a 280 and I reckon he's a secret sex pest!

 

Most definitely cool cars. Here's a few to take your pic from:

No they were just plain awefull, well the 2.8i was. Strange how cars that didnt really cut it in their day become cult cars. Big Nicks YB engined Capri on here is one of my all time favourite cars & how it should have been back then.

 

i love the old RS3100's, and 280's including brooklands

very cool

 

Yes!!!!!! Proper cool car my mate has a 2.8 and i drive it ever chance I get!

 

Always loved the Capri

My Dad had loads of 30L S capris back in the day and they looked and sound awsome

I have always fancied a brooklands 280 myself

very very cool IMO

 

Closet thing the British had to an American muscle car. Very cool.

 

Yep very cool cars

My old man has had hundreds, think my fav was a red X pack mk3 3.0 S and he also built a gorgeous mk1 which had elements of an RS3100, will try and get some pics!

 

Cool all day long...my first was a MkIII 1979 1.6GL..moved onto several 2.0s etc etc

My Dad's mate had a JPS MkII 2.0
