My dad had a Fiesta Super Sport when I was a child. I shown him how much they go for now, he nearly cried.

A friend of mine has a Capri.

This is his.


This is his dads.

 

[John Gryphon]

WTF is that..

Same I said about the original ones.

That's because you had the Falcon.

 

[John Gryphon]

That's because you had the Falcon.

We had both and the little Capri suffered the second cousin.

Never forget doing a 180 going up the hill at Shap in a capri middle of winter…
Be surprised if that new “thing” can even hit 180 revs

Looks like its should come in leyland brown
What a turd

 

[Rake Aboot]

Bad, but still not as bad as the new BMW GS 1300 Adventure

Is it me.....or is that a very generic design?
You could put an Audi, VW, Toyota, or Kia badge on the front and no-one would bat an eye!!!
Where is the long bonnet, the Recaro 'Layback Shag-Master' seats, and the "wow factor".
Looks like the return of the Modeo with a different name.
And....four doors......WTH!

Its probably the same floor pan every one else is using now.

It looks like it’s from the same design team as the new Ford Mustang.

And I did the engineering drafting of the centre console back in 1979 in Ingolstadt. Blowing my own horn there.

Forget about that, it is horrible.

Those car cave lads run out and industrial estate I do work in, some of the cars they import are crackers, I've seen mk11 Escorts RS2000 RS1800, Cortina pick ups I think you can buy a fully restored one or project vehicle, pretty sure it's South Africa they import the right hand drives from

Looks like a jazzed up Focus to me. In my opinion most cars all look the same these days. I would rather purchase a good old Ford Capri than this modern version. Mind a really good one in top nick wont be cheap.
I am a bit of a petrol head and quite often watch a programme on TV called "Bangers and cash". Some of the prices for old Ford Sierras, Cosworth's, Escorts are through the roof......................£50,000 or more!!

I love a bit of Bangers and Cash, my current old car fix is coming in the form of Salvage Hunters: Classic Cars though, Pritchard isn't everyone's cup of tea but they do some very nice restoration work.

It still at least resembles a modern GS. The Capri doesn't.

A lad I know sold his Mitsubishi Evo VI TME (Y Reg) a few weeks back for £79,875 inc buyer fee.

Mad money.
