jamesmark Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Ford are considering building a Mk4 Capri. As a fan of the old ones can't wait to see if they do it and what it will look like, hopefully it will be good after lessons learnt on the Probe and Cougar. http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=17795 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 ford capris were great, brooklands were the best and still quite pricey. i hope they do bring it back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 It'll be wrong wheel drive...... although I suppose they might learn from the proposed new Hyundai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bromy Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I wonder if it will have a Richard Grant bodykit as standard and a Harry Moss alarm, seriously though I loved the Capri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 ford capris were great, brooklands were the best Nah, the MK1 3.0 V6 was the best or at least my one was for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Looks like the new Jag XK humped the Mondeo and that was the lovechild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Doom Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 http://hvtm.totalcar.hu/car/m/ford/632143.jpg Looks nothing like a capri, but i like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loks Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Nah, the MK1 3.0 V6 was the best or at least my one was for me Yup have to agree with you there, I had one of those when I was 19 y/o and I could only insure it monthly (GBP50:blink:). It front wings used to flap around and it left a Batman type smokescreen behind but I certainly had some fun in that car. Remember drifting around the roundabout at the end of the M275(?) in Portsmouth on more than one occassion Also over taking about 7 cars going up Portsdown Hill and then getting stopped by a copper on a bike who was glad that I was keeping the Arabs in oil production. He had just followed the trail of oil smoke. Only had the car a week and he let me off. "Try not to drive like a dick OK?" where his parting words.

Matt H Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Well if that indeed is the new capri (which i cant see it as ford have only just started talking about it), whats the point in calling it a capri, it looks nothing like what it was and surely the whole point about restoring a brand name is to re-invent the novelty... its just another car otherwise. There has to be some form of similarity? surely, like the mini, beetle and jetta?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
