In 1987, my Dad took me out of primary school for 'a laugh', picked me up in a red Capri, took me to the petrol station, bought a packet of smarties and a king-size Mars (which I took), then took me to buy a Mountfield Lawnmower. It was such a cool day and how he got that massive new Mountfield into the boot I have no clue. He owned the Capri for about a week and that is my only memory of it. Good stuff!

They apparently named the capri the Mustang of the UK back in the day .I guess they were a similar shape Plus the Mustang was a bit smaller than equivalent American coupés so made a bit of sense . I owned a fair few Capri back in the 80,s . MK1 ,2 and 3 great cars

Gotta lova a ford Capri. My parents had 2 and wrote both of them off, the second time with me in the back in a carry cot. The first was a sleeper 1300l with a 2 litre engine and an enormous weber carb jammed under the bonnet and zero upgrades to wheels, tyres, brakes or suspension so no wonder it crashed. The second was a John Player Special limited edition and that's the one I was in the back of when it got written off on the way back from a holiday in the South of France.

Lovely Low mileage Capri. Depends what you want to do with it. Fords tend to be worth more money if they are all standard. That engine only has 32000 miles on it. You could install a bigger engine in it. But I would keep the original engine as a backup. Just in case you wanted to sell it. So you could covert it back to standard. Keep up the great videos.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Your best project yet, i have had loads of Capris, sold my last a few years ago which was a 1.6 laser in black, your seats are in amazing condition as normally the material splits. I bet the heater motor is knackered and thats why the lower dash was out , looks a good shell. hope you do well with it on utube.

that capri needs to be kept as a 1.6 laser - It's such a unicorn car in that condition and mileage, and is 100% original. Please don't change the engine, just make that car concours. You can easily find another one less special which can take an st170 lump or whatever - In perfect condition that capri could be pushing 8-10k? Will definitely fund another. You are well worth patreoning matey.

Amazing addition! I can’t believe how solid it is underneath. Not much welding needed at all. The wear free Laser drivers seat is very rare. The interior has scrubbed up so well. I also have a black Capri Laser (video on my channel) so can’t wait to see the progress and restore you do on this. That engine is on the button and barely run in! I would suggest keeping as is for a good year maybe and put some miles on it and enjoy it. Maybe then engine swap, but don’t ‘bin it’ just stick it on a pallet and keep it to one side maybe, especially as you have all the mot history to back the mileage up etc. can’t wait for the follow up episodes on this!

I found an old Henry hoover in a skip! Stripped it down and cleaned it all out. The engineering especially the cable reel in them is interesting. They were designed by the still owner of the company who made the first one with an oil drum. That's why the thread on the hose is that size it's a small oil drum cap size! They are designed to be worked on you can tell!
