Amazing. I've been a fan of Capris since I was a kid, I've owned a few and driven many more, and yet I've never seen that sentence before today.

Had a 1973 Mk1 Capri 1.6 GT. Bright orange, more fins than Flipper, more wings than Red Bull, more spoilers than a very spoilt thing, rattled along in a straight line, cornered like Dumbo. The cambelt blew on the way to MY engagement party, and I sold her (not the fiancee) the week after. My next car was a Mk1 Escort Mexico - the best car I ever owned until 2010 (see below)

Adam, YOU WANT ONE!!!! Just like Nike, just do it. You are not going to lose a shed load of money and you will have FUN!!

Oddly enough, found myself next to a Capri in a traffic queue tonight... matt black with *six* stripes (two fat ones and four thin ones) front to back over the bonnet and roof in bright fluorescent green... noisy exhausts, too.

To be honest, I didn't like it any better than when they were new. I always promised myself a 240Z.

Well, it was always a love it or hate it sort of car.



I see what you did there.

Does that mean you missed The One Show?

Jenny Agutter was on it...

Jenny Agutter... mmmm... American Werewolf and Logan's Run...

Andrew - I wondered if anyone would remember the adverts. I got the 240Z, too, years later, but it's gone now.
