Always had a thing for MK2s myself - rather like the odd looking sister that no-one fancies. A genuine white "JPS" would be the ultimate want for me

This was mine last year. In my opinion it was the ultimate Capri and it was built exactly the way I wanted it. It was mint, reliable, needed nothing and was a blast to drive. I planned to keep it for a very long time but sometimes circumstances get the better of us. But better to have loved and lost etc... Love this mate, looks so clean with the hint of "something" on the cosworth rims

Capri's are one of those cars cars that can look either awesomely cool/retro in a 'proffesionals' kminda way, or just completely badass cool in a 'Daveyboy' or 'Chezbmx' (the ratty one) kinda way.
Whatever way you cut it, they're fecking cool!

Will have to grab pics of my best buds Kev's Capri 3.0 s mint as mint is with subtle touches like powerflow exhausts, and K and N bits, swears its a Ocelli built engine ?(spelt wrong) as he has put it on a dyno and it pulls 138 bhp and it pulls like Brad Pitt in Blackpool

I'm just a phone call away sir, drop me a PM and I'll give you my number...!!! That black Capri is pure Essex... In fact, I think it is fair to say that the Capri puts the 'sex' in Essex...!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm old enough to remember them being introduced in 1969. On my paper round a customer had a 1600GT with XLR pack and I used to drool over it every morning. Mate had a brand new JPS as a 21st birthday present. I had a 1.6 LS that was put into storage at less than a year old after the owner became ill. It was 10 years old and had done less than 10,000 miles ! Unfortunatley I had a XJ6 so the Capri was used mainly by my wife and she lost 80% use in her right hand after an accident so needed something with PAS and autobox (I bought a 1.8 Golf GL auto) so the Capri just sat for several years until I decided to scrap. I'd love another but it'd have to be a pre facelift MKI - preferably a gold 1600GT with black bonnet the same as the one I lusted after as a paperboy :-) Paul H Gold with a black bonnet is definitely FTW on a Mk1. My uncle had a 3000GTXLR in that very colour scheme. He was the envy of the whole family.

My word, that is glorious...!!! An Amber Gold Mk1 with the Matt Black bonnet (and other parts) would indeed be a most glorious addition to any car collection A 3-litre one would be perfect!!!

Love this mate, looks so clean with the hint of "something" on the cosworth rims Yeah this became a bit of a running theme! People used to approach me and talk about the car all the time but the people 'in the know' always used to mention the wheels. That's how I knew whether or not I was talking to a player

Oh my word, that Mk2 is so darn solid...!!!!!! They are the unloved Capri in my opinion which makes them even more desirable! If I was to go for a Mk1 it would have to be one of these...
