1984 Ford Capri 2.8i (Old Spice Capri)

Modifications eh? ah... turbo it?

"You'll become yourself,
You'll find success,
Old Spice
The classic fragrance

The mark of a man"

Chicks dig it. Here's the proof:



You need to drive around with the windows down blasting 'O Fortuna' (Carl Orff) at top volume for full effect while pumping the fragrance out to all passers by. Forget Lynx, Old Spice is where it's at.

Awesome car, lovely retrim and you really should keep a bottle in that centre console at all times.

that looks bloody lovely ! as mm said definately shoud be packing old spice in the holder

was that the one in the competition on Absolute Radio?

looks lovely - send me a PM if you decide to sell please

Thanks, Kerry

Very cool, interior is lush!
Each to there own, but I'd leave it standard, or do reversible mods..

Bit confused. So yours is the one in the middle, but is now wearing the registration number and quarter bumpers of the one on the right...?




...or is the one in your signature an amalgamation of the two?

Nah, get a smoking jacket to drive round in, Bruce Campbell Style.

well a granada cosworth 24v v6 is pretty easy to put in one of those and will give decent power (enought to shred a lot of tyres and go rather sideways so plenty of fun), and ok MPG too to wouldnt be too much of a pain to drive around regularly. It keeps it ford too, which would appeal to many if you ever wanted to sell it on.


Volvo t5 would be mental but i'd imagine an unmerciful pain in the hole to fit.

Maybe a volvo 760 turbo 4 pot if you wanted to go the volvo route. there's plenty of guys in sweden getting 400bhp and above from those.


sierra cosworth engine? (getting expensive these days but really cool)


it all depends on how much you want to spend and how easy you want it to be

I absolutely LOVE this car!
I used to have a white 1.6 laser capri with a 2.1 injection pinto in it and I miss the car like crazy! Wish i'd never sold it to be honest.

I reckon your best bet as far as conversions go for most power per £££ , ease of conversion , and keeping it all ford , is definately to go down the cossie YB route.
Buy a cheap rotten sapphy as a donor car , use what you need off it , then break the rest to grab some cash back. Will work out much cheaper than buyin all the bits seperately.
