- I have had my Capri for the last years. Due to importation problems, I
have not been able to get the spares to keep in top shape. However I enjoy
driving it more than my newer Corolla.Currently I am getting mechanics to
improve it incrementally. My thanks to Haynes Publishing for putting me onto
this Club

- I wish I could make my wife understand why my old Capri really makes me
smile, all she seems to wants to do is call me sad or Kev boy! At least when
I take it out for a spin I get some peace and can't get nagged for driving
to fast

- Brilliant to see so many Capri nuts out there in Capri land especially
in the West Midlands. I've owned my Capri for 3 years and it still gives me
an adrenalin rush every time i get behind the wheel! This car is part of
motoring history and deserves to be driven and seen at every opportunity.
Was there ever a more sexy car built than the Ford Capri (especially that
long flowing bonnet). Long live the Capri and all who drive her.

- Hi My father's car was a 2L for Capri Ghia which I got when he died. he
didn't leave much for me and I was deeply upset when one day I was coerced
into "scrapping" it as par of a new car deal. After taking it to be
"scrapped" I then was stitched up in the deal when it came to buying the new
car and I ended up with no new car, and no Capri. going back to the scrap
yard didn't help as they had no record of having it. This was about 10 years
ago and I have long since chalked it up to experience, but recently I
discovered that the car was not scrapped and in fact is still being driven
around on the roads. I am hoping that someone here will be able to let me
know how I can get started in tracking down the car for me. Ideally I'd like
to buy it back, or the number plate, because of the sentimental value it has
for me. Can anyone help or offer some advice? R

- nice site well laid out, enjoyed the pics of your fine machines, mine is
currently under the panel beaters hammer but ready for re-spray. The
modifications to mine are 4 branch 2" sports system, K&N air filter, 15"
alloys, Sony CD player (sorry yes i cut my dash and parcel shelf) JVC 9x4
speakers, genuine "fake walnut dash" with white dials. This is the 2nd Capri
i have owned, my 1st was a 1600 Mk 3 Laser that had had 1 owner from new and
a full service history ... unfortunately the garage that done all the
service work wasn't up to the job and it was in a real poor state when i had
it given to me.

Spoiler you have on screen in the For Sale/Wanted section. It was fitted to
the Vauxhall Firenza/Viva E. I found the picture in a late 1970's Magazine.
The next model up had 2 extra flaps in the middle to be able to trim the
air.

- Just a little snippet of information to pass on - I've just tried to
get an insurance quote for my Capri from Adrian Flux - I am currently
unemployed - my car is stored in a garage - has an immobiliser and
steering lock - last year I only covered 400 miles - I belong to 2
different Capri Clubs - the car is only used on dry days - according to
Adrian Flux I am un-insurable because of my employment status - what
bloody difference does that make??????? - perhaps they think I am going
to ram-raid the nearest Lloyds Bank with my beloved Capri!!! -I have the
money in my account to pay but it certainly will not be going their way
- are there any sensible insurers out there???? - if you know of any
PLEASE let me know...

After
years of being ripped off by the price of lead replacement fuel for my 2.0GL
Capri, I had the Firepower Car Pill recommended to me by a mate in Australia
(WWW.FIREPOWERPILL.COM). I have now been using it for 2 years and my car runs
beautifully on normal unleaded with 1 pill added when I re-fill the tank.
Believe it or not it has also increased the economy of my car by about 15% as
well as reducing my emissions by around 60%! If it doesn't meet these targets
than you can just get your money back - that's how confident they are. I
recommend it to your members.

Hello to the Ford Capri Club from Oz.
(Australia)
I have been surfing around a little whilst on my
search for the ultimate parts for my Datsun 1600 (I think they were labled
either the Bluebird or P510 in the UK).
To cut a long story short, I stumbled upon a
phunkie snap of a Capri, or at least I think it is (twin lamps, snarling
bonnet and upturned 'C' pillar to meet the roofline).
As finding original racing history, or any
history for that matter muses me, I thought I might send this snap to
someone who would appreciate it.
P.S. Datto's reign king downunder!! Though there
is a couple of 3.0L GT's threatening the title.....

If possible can you please include this event in
your club newsletter / magazine, or pass
around at club meetings. Additionally at the end of this text there is
information on
the campaign to get the 25 year old vehicle rolling road tax exemption
scheme reinstated and
also to get the LPG rebate scheme extended to cover classic vehicles.
Publicity is the
bottleneck in the campaign at the moment, so I urge you to get as many
members to sign in
as possible. Many thanks. |

Hi there.
I'm looking for a project car (my wife has finally agreed!) and am
interested in perhaps finding a Capri to learn restoration on.
Obviously I
don't want to pay loads (actually I'd like to pay nothing!), and I
found
your site on the web so looked through the classifieds.
Can I suggest that you change the Colour for the email links? The
blue
writing on black background is very hard to read! (I realized it was
the
email link when I clicked it to see what happened!)
Also, could you put a date on the adverts or indicate that the item
is sold
in some way? I don't want to make a nuisance of myself calling
people who
have already sold items.. |

- Hi guys, Just surfing the net and came across your website ( good pics
of my favorite British car ) Doing well in Canada, still working but fear of
layoffs still looms but life goes on I guess. In the 2 years of living here
I've only seen one Capri. It was a MK11,red in Colour and looked in good
shape. It took a while to get used to driving on the other side of the road
but we both passed our driving tests 1st time. The car we have right now is
made by Chrysler, our previous car was a Honda Civic, great on gas ( petrol
) but rather small. I had to give my old Laser away to my cousin in Ireland
although he does take care of it. Anyway, may the " LEGEND ' live or at
least till all the spares have been used up, just joking. Take care, say Hi
to all those Capri nuts for me and maybe you guys can email us sometime
Carl.

history
- I believe this car to have been imported second hand from England in the
early 70's from the NZ registration books that were in the car when
purchased. This car was originally purchased be my girl friend some 6 years
ago, she did some body restoration work and the became tired with owning an
old car, trading it in on a japer. I purchased the car some 2 years ago and
set about restoring the car again, only to find the all the work my girl
friend had had done was of very poor quality. The car is currently in the
process of restoration / modification. The Kent 1600 has been remove after
self destruction and has been replaced with a `92 Nissan 2000, turbo
changed, fuel injected, double overhead cam engine. This is about the
easiest way to archive a Capri Cosworths style car with incurring the debt
of a small pacific island nation. The engine is in and running. The current
stage of the project is suspension and brake upgrading. The interior and
body work will remain as Ford intended back in `69. The perfect stocker!!

Automatic fitted with Smiths Aircon and is in 99% complete condition. I
paid $1200 AUD for it then $150 AUD to transport it form Bairnsdale to
Melbourne. I plan to restore her to her original state. She has just
over 90000 miles on the clock which I feel is probably original. For the
past 6 years she has sat around back yards waiting for some new life to
be installed into her. Well, that day has come! I now little else about
her except to say that she started life in Geelong, the Home of the Ford
Engine plant in Australia. Further information is to say the least,
scant. the restoration is planned to take about 2 years, I'm in no
hurry, YET!!! Regards, Tel (remember MINDER)

I have this week bought my first Capri being the ripe old age of 47!! It
is 99% complete and running, though unregistered and in need of some good
TLC to bring it back from where its been. She is a 3000GT Automatic and
started life as a Silver car but alas is now Green. I plan to restore it to
its original condition over the next couple of years, then use it as a
weekend "cruiser"! Would love to here from other like minded Capri lovers.

I was a member some years ago and I sometimes have the opportunity of driving
a Capri. The bug is still with me. So can someone help source a suitable car:
Must be a 2.8i special Must be White Must be solid with a recent MOT Service
History would be good but proof of work done would be better. Thanks for the
Capri Page, I look forward to a reply. Chris |

Barrie Papworth Market Harborough Leicestershire I have been browsing
the web for Capri sites during my lunch time and have been very encouraged
that there is so much enthusiasm for the Capri. I have owned a white 1979
1.6 GL for around 10 years and have enjoyed driving and tinkering around
with it. Unfortunately last February someone bumped the rear offside
wheelarch while it was parked on Kettering Hospital car park. At the time of
the bump I was on the maternity ward with my wife who had a bump as well but
hers meta-morphasised into our son!! The arrival of our son has meant that I
have had no time to rectifiy the damage even though I do have wheel arch
replacement panels which would repair the damage. There are also a number of
other jobs which really need to be done to the Capri's paintwork to make it
look presentable. Some weeks ago I took the decision to take it off the road
when the MOT ran out and in the meantime look round for a replacement. I am
a member of CCI and in the June mag. I found an absolutely fabulous example
of a 1986 1.6 Laser in Lacquer Red for sale in Cambridgeshire. Being an
engineer I am fortunate in being able to tackle virtually any job on the
Capri but when it comes to welding I am a bit out of practice. Therefore my
prime concern was to find a replacement Capri with good bodywork. The Laser
I found met this criteria superbly. Since owning the car I have undertaken a
number of jobs including replacing the back springs. The car was for sale
for £699 but I shaved off £30 because the tyres were nearing the end of
their life. I was aware that Kwik fit had an offer on at the time for 4
tyres for £65, so I was not too concerned. The owner was well aware of the
excellent condition of the bodywork so would not reduce the asking price any
further. I have probably rattled on too much already so I will close this
particular message.

- I bought this Capri three days ago in Bremerton, Washington, USA.
Some minor issues, but it still goes pretty good. Trying to decide what
exactly I'm going to do to it. My parents bought a Mk.1 (facelift) in
1973 in Pennsylvania and owned it until 1979. By that time, that Capri
had moved our household five times all across the eastern United States.
This,, is a fabulous testament to a fabulous car. Cheers!

- I've had the Capri from new. It's all-original and has done 215,000
miles and still going strong. It could be the only original-owner 2.8i
(of that age)in the world. Another probable record for a 2.8i: The last
set of tyres (Firestone) did 72,000 miles and were still legal!

- I'm the original owner of my Capri and it now has 230,000 miles on
it. Recently, the engine and interior were rebuilt along with the
differential. Its unique because their are so few Capris around which
makes it even better. Its also the only Capri in the states or at least
this area that has "North Shore Garage" decal on it. The car is very
reliable and lots of fun to drive. The person who needs his parcel shelf
fixed should contact me because I think I may have something he could
use.

- Greetings from the land of the original Capri V8 (the way they
should have been --- well nearly). Saw the website in the mag and
thought I'd let you know how lucky you all were where so many Capris and
so many spares abounded! I am interested in communicating with anyone
into V8 Capris (preferably Ford - whoever heard of a Chev in one of our
beloved Fords? Dont you'all know about the close to civil war situation
states side re the Ford/Chev debate?) My Perana is in rebuild at the
moment - so am into the intimate details of how they were done. Thank
you for your interesting website.

information on interchangeability for mechanical things e.g. gearboxes,
brakes , diffs, and ideas on interior fixes for the parcel shelf, seats,
which may be straight swaps. Also are there two different water pumps
fitted ? My replacement sems to run at two much pressure. Any ideas or
suggested contacts, references would be a great help. Thanx

- I'm urrently searching for a capri, so I thought I'd try the Net. It
is a car that my father bought from new and I am now trying to find the
car as he's passed on the Capri bug to me!! The Car is a 1.6 GT, Mk2,
bought in 1974 and was registered as GDW 300N, it was Daytona Yellow
with a black Vinyl roof and the inteirior was also black. It was sold at
Slaters of Abergele in 1978. If any of your members have owned the car
at anytime or currently own the Capri, I would be greatfull if you would
contact me at ger@intt.freeserve.co.uk
