This is indeed the original Ford Capri, more accurately the Consul Capri. And no, it's not Yank, it's Brit!

Came out in the mid sixties as the coupe version of the ford Classic. Unfortunatly it was never very popular as the yank styling wasnt really to british tastes at the time and i belive it was only in production for three years or so. A shame really as it was a gorgous car and they now make top money. Even old sheds like this.

Do you remember a green or grey one (colour blindness again) With i think cosworth lattice alloys. I used to see it around wickford about ten years ago. Saw it for sale in the back street machine too.

When my mate used to live in Letchworth, there was a guy opposite him called Phil something... He has the most gorgeous consol capri evAr, a pearl white one on centerlines with a granny V6 in it, hmmmmmm. He went on to make a sled from a rover P6 , and a mental MKI sierra 3 door with a small block chevy. Wonder if he's still about, and still making kwality cars... |

Here's a couple of custom ones This one, built by Kev Rooney though unforutnatly I haven't got a pic of it in its panel painted guise  He also built a lime met. green one about 10 years ago that was also in SM or CC.  This one turned up at the Ace last year and was in CC recently  And this is Mike Warehams four door Classic. Was met blue and older style but he gave it a winter make over (including a very subtle roof chop) before the shows last year.  |

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
