Review of Ford Capri 2.8 Injection

Ford will never again make such a brilliant car

Advantages: Great looks, relatively fast, a cheaper Mustang
Disadvantages: Rust, parts harder to find, handling problems

I have always wanted a Ford Capri and finally managed to get a 1986 Mark III Laser in reasonable condition. I was slightly worried being a young driver whether or not I would enjoy driving the car, but I have totally fallen in love with it. I was drawn to the Capri by its wonderful looks, very similar to the Ford Mustang which I have always admired. I found however that the car has so much more. It is a wonderful car to drive, so long as a) you are ...
...on power steering and other modern gadgets. I say dont be a boy racer because you will kill yourself...a 2.0L may only have around 100bhp but it is a rear wheel drive car with inferior brakes to modern cars and on wet roads the Capri's tail will flick out if the car is not driven with the respect it deserves. And i say b) because this is a big car to move around without power steering and may take some getting used to when parking etc.. however parking ...

Review of Ford Capri 2.0

They should still make the Capri 1.6 today

Advantages: Easily worked on, Roomy, Sporty and stylish
Disadvantages: Doesnt hold road too well, rot patches

...is made by Ford. And Ford around the time of the manufacture of the capri didnt like starting in damp weather. I had stating problems at some point with all three of them and it was always when the weather was wet. It was a normal procedure for me to spray Ether in the air filter intake to flare up the engine when raining. I had to change the carb on all three, but again, it was a hobby car and it was easy to work on.It was a 30 minuite job to ...
...is the locking and security of the car. Pretty poor, i had one nicked in Leeds and it must have been a piece of cake for the toe rags to get in, as lots of keys could open a 1976-1980 capri, so if one of these cars is now purchased, better locks need to be fitted. They are fun to drive, comfy and roomy. To a lot uf us avid Capri people, they were the dream car and once owned, you couldnt do nothing but love them, and thats why i am looking for ...

Review of Ford Capri 1.6

The Car You Always Promised Yourself

Advantages: Looked like an expensive sports car
Disadvantages: Didn't perform like an expensive sports car!

...Yourself” was part of the Ford advertising campaign for the Ford Capri when it was first released back in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. It was designed to appeal to the hearts (and loins) of a motoring public at the time when the best affordable cars the motoring public were being offered in the UK were awful dogs of automobiles like the Austin 1100, Hillman Avenger, and Morris Marina. Indeed, my one and only Ford Capri replaced a bloody dreadful ...
...bicycle! ~ ~ The Ford Capri was produced at the old Ford Halewood factory in Liverpool, and also over in Germany, and when it was first unveiled to the public at the Brussels Motor Show in January, 1969 it caused a major sensation in the motoring press. Based on Ford’s already very successful American car, the Ford Mustang, it was a breathe of fresh air in a stale and boring motoring market place, and the demand for the car was instantaneous. Best ...

Review of Ford Capri 1.3

Buy one - You will sone get addicted to it

Advantages: Fast, Cheap, Fantastic looks

Excellent Ford Capri lens! The car is awesome and is very quick and it has a capacity to beat most of the cars in market. Moreover the car is available at affordable price. Further the spare parts are also cheap, but little difficult to find. In short we can say that it is a perfect little sport car. The turbo stock also helps its performance. The look is also fantastic and classic. The inner is also very spacious and seats are comfortable. Further ...
