After the super charged capri😂

I was with you until the two yellow ariels! Ha ha! ( I had five Capris in total back in the seventies, absolutely hooked on them and fortunately I’ve had some nice Fords since then too) - Did you have a CB radio then?

@@philtucker1224 Thanx m8. Yeah, I really enjoyed working on that. I loved it. They were a fantastic looker... and so it was time to sell it, and I put it in the drive with a @FOR SALE@ sign on it , and this guy knocks on the door wanting to have a look at it. I go outside and OMG, you should have seen HIS Capri..!! It was absolutely awesome. You've never seen anything so beautiful in your life. Obviously, alot of money and resourses to do that kind of job. You could just open the doors in my mums garage and I had a hydraulic jack and axle stands and a #25 tool box from Halfords. Good 'ol days. I loved that Capri and loved them ever since.

I know exactly where your coming from 👍

@@jaygabby5349 Essex?

Me too. Probably made a lot more power, and been lighter too.

Make one then, lets see what it would be like

And would you prefer the extra £30,000 bill to have that in there? 🤔 😉 🤣

I rather choose 4.0L V8 N/A.

@@thememedealer5301 1) I don't have the money to buy a good 2 door Mk1 Escort shell, and a BDA engine, plus everything else needed. 2) Why would I have to 'make one' to see what it is like, there are hundreds of them around, and it's a perfect car/engine combination almost legendary in world rallying history. Anyone that knows cars, will know what they are like, and you obviously don't really know much.

Just do it mate 👍

Are you going Lotus replica?

Yes Garry's new creation has a twin turbo LS V8 under the bonnet!!! 😃

4.5 litre block might be a bit heavy though for that car and upset weight distribution?

Knew I had seen this car before on Marcus Hayes channel

@@user-qx6ej7je4r I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I'm certain that the TVR 4.5 was the same Buick small block V8 engine with increased capacity but little if any weight trade off.

@@armoris66 yes it did evolve off a Buick engine

Look up mst cars they make modern escort mk1 and mk2s to your spec if u got the ££££

@@rabc5959 yeah cheers, I've seen them before is that the one in Wales? (Trouble is they start at £100,000) so bit out of my budget tbh.. but yeah they're great cars and well glad they're being custom made! The lottery win is definitely going to go on one of them and a Ferrari.. 😉👍🏻 (& buy one for my dad before he's too old to drive!) Ps. Gutting thing is my dad sold his one for £50! And my Grandads one was gifted for free to a cousin when he died!(I wanted them to keep it, but wasn't old enough to drive and the gutter is, my cousin sold it within 6months! -So total waste/unappreciated! And loss of what would have been an air loom!)

@EscapeTheMatrix....Read my mind, I’d love to own this.... 🙏 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇬🇧

@@WillHadden definitely one of the Best looking cars from that era! MAYBE The best looking.. like the Capri aswell..

Lol it’s a tvr

The complete opposite, it’s a lightweight, rear wheel drive, correctly powered, perfectly balanced car. Eleanor is the girl you fall in love with that turns out to be the lunatic your dad advised you to avoid 😂

@@Mapa356 Yeah I like this explanation! - Sort of the same as the Cortina and Capri.. except their rear end was a bit naughty especially in dodgy weather.. 🤣😆

Lmao:):)

Love the rear it has that batmobile look that every child loves and yes I'm a 39 year old child and love it!

@@danielduke5059 Not at all rear wing needs be changed to me.

they used to be sold by what today is 400€, no one wanted them ,i even bought a 1300GT ,road car, doble carburator and a cortina too but 1600GT ,extra gages ,late 60´s to early 70´s

@@RUfromthe40s I always wanted one since I was small my uncle had one and still does with a 3.8 v6 with triple carbs interceptor and it's fast

😂 ok
