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

yellowsierra

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

Less.

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

lukeytheduke

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

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.

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

vroooom ptssssh

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

Chaz888

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

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!

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.
