out of date and over priced when new.

ugly.

even more out of date and over priced today.

give me a nice late model 2.8i special instead for 1/4 the price and 1/10th the embarassment of driving around in that horror.

Lovely piece of ford history that!, I really like them and I like the fact they're that little bit different. Doubt I'd be paying the asking price for one though. Unless I had a LOT of disposable income

Said it before and I'll say it again, that's by far my favourite Ford ever and easily one of the best cars full stop.

Nice and rare car, a little questionable styling but hey, it was the 80's

I like them but woould need it to be less in your face for it to sit right now-a-days

Someone will buy it

I am a massive capri fan but I have never liked the way those things look, love everything else about them like the running gear and interior but that bodykit I have never got used to.

Not my cup of tea but sure due to rarity it will fetch a good price.

If i was in the market for a Capri i think i would rather a nice late 3.0 s

Having owned Swaymar and Vulcan tunned 3.0's they are fun and a bit twitchy

My feelings exactly or a nice Brooklands. The bodykit on the Tickford is just so tacky to the point of making it look like budget aftermarket.
