Default What do we all think of the Capri Brooklands?
As topic, is it still a desirable Ford? I quite like them, just wondered what everyone else thinks?

There alright... basically a special with leather and 15" alloys...
Except ford didnt paint the floors on them.... so they suffer.

Bloody love my 2.8 injection with a quafe atb..... Should have cosworth power very soon!

But I aint pissing about and going 4wd....

Capri's are for going sideways

They aint worth the money being asked for them thats for sure.

Just buy a 2.8i Special.

Or just a normal 2.8i and stick an ATB in it.


You cant beat a 'Dagenham Ditch Finder' for arse out action.. shame its usally when you least expect it or want it.....

As said, bit like RS500's imho, very nice but not something you'd want to thrash about going sideways which is what a capri is all about isn't it?
