A nice car ,I knew a guy who had one just like it way back in the early 80s, the sound of those tappets takes you back to the good old days when you filled up with 4 star.

One thing I've often noticed when I see a restored Capri 2.0s or 3.0s like this one ,mark ll, is that the steering wheel is wrong!! ....Not this one though. The flags are there!! Wonderful job Mr Appleby. My dad had one exactly the same but silver 1978.

That is a stunning Mk2 Capri fair play. My favourite shape and engine size, just a no fuss clean look to it. I had a Signal Amber/Black Vinyl roof, Ghia alloys, 1978 Mk2 1.6s for my first car back in 1984 with the exact same colour seats and interior etc. The only thing it lacked unfortunately was the 3 Litre Essex engine you have. Keep that car forever, it looks a Gem. Or sell it to me lol...

The standard Carburettors reduced economy & performance badly. Aftermarket axle braces & twin downdraught Weber's transformed i The 1.6 & 2 litre. . I had X3 of them.

Sounds great! I had a 1976 Capri II S with the 2.8L V6 in Napa California when I was in the US Navy. It was very fast for those times, especially after I removed all the California state smog emission control equipment.

Hi Svitlana! All down to a Janspeed exhaust system & Janspeed headers! As well as a naughty fast CAM, which gives the engine a lumpy tick over! All in all, a dirty sounding 3.0S which is all rather pleasing! (well actually a 3.4S, the engine was rebuilt)

Hi Ana, thank you, yes it's a very special example of this very rare model. You could try the capripower forum www.capripower.co.uk to obtain this style of bumper, and put in a request in the Capri parts for sale/wanted section. This bumper was standard on all the mk2 S models around '76 & '77. Also look up 'Capri Club' in the forum, they sell loads of spares. I hope this helps.

Sorry I meant look up 'Capri Gear' on the forum, I don't think Capri Club is on there, but their no is 01386 860860, again they sell plenty of spares.

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party and Gretas FFF inc. gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one state operated central gas station per city. From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any more....:-((

3 litre V6 still to underpowered in today's car market ........ Ford should have considered the 5.7 v8 engine's that during the same year they were fitted to the Camaro and Firebird's of the same year ...... Or the 289 Mustang engine
