Yes. It was designed by an American after all.

I think it's an old clunker dressed up with some ridiculously oversized wheels with insufficient clearance for bumpy UK roads and a glossy black paint job. Not really a fan of the cigarette burned dashboard panels either. But to each their own.

Like wise , I’ve seen it in the flesh in Harwich Essex a few years ago

Oh, you're some special guy, the only person who could "drive one"....moron@@user-sf9lj6dy6w

Yup, I was one of those guys that didn't want one. Looking back now, I would've gone for the mk1 3 litre v6, I think they may have called it the face lift model, the first capri that had the quad lights and the fatter rear cluster lights. That one looked more tough looking than all the others that came before or after.

must be an american who thinks america is the only place on earth. Capri's where quite popular in europe and lots of people wanted them and lots of people still want them today. sold 400k in its first two years... but yeah, no wanted them. GD americans.

@@nothanks3590 I'm not American, calm down, have another booster jab

The power to weight ratio of having a V8 in a Capri is absolutely all about speed

Good man!!

Don't lie in the title than I guess

@@kylestephenson3004 - what’s the lie buddy?

@@browntruckracing plenty of ford capris have been built for speed... goblinworks capri was built for look at me type people. 4x4 capri would gap this

@@browntruckracing Silly comment ,not the worlds fastest capri by a long stretch . The fastest capri was the famous cosworth powered one with 550 bhp link below . kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g6iiZ9lqp7a4ZaM.html

Gotta agree the front is really meh... at best, otherwise it's a stunner. Then I saw the upholstery..... what were they thinking?!?!?!?

Maybe if it was blacked out? Yeah, meh.

@@bob_frazier it would be sweet to see the grill over the headlights lift up like the old 70's fords headlight covers either use the vacuum operated mechanisms or the electronic ones off a Miata and make it able to wink ;)

Do you know of one faster ?

I know a faster one in Germany. With a supercharged v8 and around 800 horses

@@johnny5805 Fast enough? 😄 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i92Tqad7ypvDXas.html

@@johnny5805 There are many faster. Just check out all tbe capris at Santa Pod doing sub 7 second passes, all road legal cars too. British engineering 👍🏻

But can you actually call it a capri when it's got an engine in it that doesn't even belong in it

In Oakland California the Capris were there Own Group. Yes they had Muscle Cars, Mini Trucks, Sport Bikes and others but We are a very Special Group. That 3.0 Stick with the wind back roof. You have to be 1 of It Us to understand. Tune it right, Hit that 2nd gear and hear those wheels skirt.

Yeah sidepipes never were a good idea - don’t suit the capri either

Couldn't agree more!

A pleasure!

It divides opinion for sure but is arguably a well sorted cat with massive potential

I used to own a MK1 Capri Perana V8. The only production V8 Capri to exist. Use a 320 Windsor with a 450cfm Holley, 4 speed Borg Warner gearbox and the rear axle was from Australia especially made for the Perana. Only 500 were made as they were made for homologation purposes.

@@SeanGavin-rf5vd Damn they actually made a v8? Never knew that, I know the 2.8 v6 I thought that was the biggest engine. Then the Tickford was a turbo charge version.

What series did they race in to make it a homologation

Oh dear, you need to do your research my friend. Check out a few vids by twin engined corsa

@Gavin Tye Hi. The PERANA was awesome. I've seen a few of them and a Jeff Uren Stampede MK2 Capr, mega rare. That too is a great conversion. I went down the chevrolet 350 route and Don't regret it. Alot said put a ford in a ford but the truth is in the UK Ford don't give a damn about heritage and dont care less about keeping these on the road. How I see it...it my car not theirs. The fit and look is amazing you can't go wrong with ford 289's, 302's, 351's. Or 305, 327, 350 and a 383 chevy. All sold in their high millions. Even a standard engine is enough in a capri and sound amazing. Mine is a 3.0s mk3 and was a new shell. The 3.0 engine blew a piston so I put the V8 in!

Thats what makes it look good wym 🤣 guess peoples opinions really do differ

How easy was the swap , much welding and stuff

@Ryan Atkinson The Chevy conversion was mega easy. Radiator mounts and slam panel cut away but better to drill out spot welds for a neater look. The slam panel was mostly kept and a piece put in to square off. I bought the radiator first and built it around that. The engine mounts I fabricated off the original cross member. I used my V6 one because the mounts are further back that a 4 cylinder one, I didn't use power steering and I find this not to be a problem. So mounting points were taken off a 4 cylinder crossmember and welded on. The gearbox mout needed fabricating as I used a 5 speed Tremec and the rear quarter of the tunnel needed to be raised by an inch or a bit more. That was mainly it. The result was 373 bhp and 440lbft at 3,500 rpm at the rear wheels. Drives fine and handles fine it also won 7 shows but I haven't driven it for 2 years due to health reasons and life in general! The reason I did it myself was because I was, nearly, ripped off by a V8 conversion specialist back in 2007. Long story that one! But the hard work was more pleasing and well worth it.

Our pleasure!

Stunning car isn’t it!

@@browntruckracing Sure is man. My brother has a mk3 capri with the 2.9 from a xr4x4 sierra and the 3.0s dgas carb fuelling.

@@browntruckracing the perana is so cool. Im obsessed with it

@@bassinidiot168 agree what a car!

@@bassinidiot168 I had one for a while. no:366. Was a handful to drive though as the only mods besides the 302, 4 speed Borg Warner box and stronger rear axle was harder brake linings and stiffer springs and that was about it.
