On my usual (if not more anxious than usual 🙄) journey to work I spotted a car in traffic between the usual bland boxes.
A car I've never seen before and guessing it's kit based.
The middle was basically a Ford Capri shape, vinyl roof and typical Capri alloys. The bonnet looked odd as did the grill.
The boot was like a saloon car, longer and flatter with different tail lights also??
Any ideas?

Bullet Capri? Have the real wheels been stolen the night before that meeting and only a set of far too small 205 alloys were there to move the car?  Is that really a capri underneath? Screen and roof say yes, but even the quarter windows were changed? |

Yep, that's actually a Capri braaap, I used to work with a fella that built and drove one. It looked pretty out of place on the building sites. You're right about those wheels, I remember seeing several of my friends running the Peugeot 205 wheels on their ford capris and cortina and I remember thinking back then that they were the wrong offset and far too deep in the arches to look good. |

I used to have a soft-top DMS Bullit that my dad built. Never seen a coupe one before!

There were quite a few Capri based (well, any Ford based!!) kit cars and such in the 70's, 80's and 90's...!
I hope the one you saw can be found so your mind can be put at rest.
As long as it wasn't located on a grubby London side street and potentially Sunbeam Alpine based I think we will be ok!

Funny you should mention it; I thought it looked like an over-sized Ford Capri when I saw one at a show once!  |
