I am still driving, repairing and living my father's personal Capri dream car from 1982. Dad passed away much too early decades ago in 1996. Parting from his dream car to me would be like he is passing away again...

Typical "Gravesend Bruvva" geeza the son, love it. Local to me too. Brilliant car, brilliant video and lovely people

ALL 2.8i Injection Capris came with a tilt and slide sunroof as standard.

Can’t beat the 80’s Fords they had some great cars in the 80’s I owed loads of fords in the 80’s escort XR3, XR3i fiesta XR2. They were great fun the capris are a classic tho.

My dad grandads on both sides my and my uncle all had capris when I was a kid. The 2.8 is my all time favourite car! Really good memories of these cars 👌

A very cool old car. I just saw a Mk1 one here in Jasper Alberta Canada, I saw this, had to watch it. Great videos, love your style. Love the respect between you, Barry and Bryan. Keep those video's coming!

How can you bring yourself to part with a car after 35 years. It must be difficult as surely he's formed a real attachment. He will miss it!

Nice folks, but they have some of their information wrong. This is the Cologne injected version engine, with 160bhp. The tilt and slide sunroof was always standard on all versions of the 2.8i, these extra front lights were called "Driving Lamps" and never a Capri option, rather optional on Fiesta (always standard on XR2 MK1), Escort MK3 (usually seen on XR3/XR3i), some Cortina L, GL, with optional "S" pack, ditto Granada, etc. There was never an auto option from Ford, though understand that a few were converted outside the network. Happy to be corrected.

At its time this was a lovely up market car . As an old car in that condition after all those years is a great investment. They go for lots of money! 👍

a 1978 Capri was the first and only car my mum ever owned, I've been saving to buy one so I can take her for a drive in it. she hasn't driven in about 30 years but still talks about how much she loved that car to this day so I'm sure getting rid of his capri wasn't an easy choice even if it has just been sat in his garage

I saw the first 2.8i in 1983 in Germany when i was 13 years old. Black and brand new. Pepperpot rims. Now 52 and it still is my thing. This video shows a lot. 👍

Was admiring this on Sunday when i came down with my son buying a Leon Cupra, im 60 and it brought back memories.

Amazing.... I think most people love a classic old Ford. Just something iconic about them. They resonate with anyone of a certain age (40s+)

Although slightly sad that he's having to sell something that clearly has sentimental value😔

These things were a common sight when I was growing up. Feeling old 😀

Brings back some memories! great vid thanks for posting.

Always interesting to see a couple of people who don't really know Capris discussing them. Even the son doesn't seem to know it too well considering it's been with him his whole life. Dad was doing well for himself to buy a 4-year old Capri at 25 though. I could only afford when the *car* was 25 and £1000!

Having owned a few Capri's over the years, this was good to see. More so because I never had a 2.8. I've have a 1.6, two 2.0L's and a German 3.0L. Love the Capri and always will.
