Mercury Capri Videos - interesting similarity to the new SUV for 2024
I watched these videos last night and thought some of you may find them interesting. They are the US Mercury Capris. Interesting how what is purported to be the new SUV Capri for 2024 (I know, don't get me started) looks more of a similarity in its design cues to the Second Generation Fox Body Capri...

:lol: You beat me to it , I just found it lastnight . Only watched the MGF one . You're alright, the MGF one is episode 1 of series 3. I suppose Prime must be repeating them in order. Andrew.

Re: RIP Steve Wright MBE
Very sad news indeed. Funny guy. Loved his radio show on Radio 1 back in the day. It was everything we listened to wasn't it. Followed him slightly on to Radio 2 when I crossed over to something I understand! I have no idea what the hell Radio 1 is talking about, I don't understand the songs and mos...

My Car in ClassicFord Magazine
Evening all. My car featured in this month's Classic Ford Magazine. I am not showing off -well maybe a little, or being conceited, I just thought some may like to see it and read it's story. I bought it 13 years ago and last year saw me at two shows on a shakedown. The restoration has been immense. ...

Amazing model work - sadly not the ones we would like!
So my lad wants models to play with of the cars we have but as always there aren't any so I started buying similar and painting them etc. Now my work is about 2% and that's being generous of this guys work. It's geeky but I found myself watching it. Absolutely amazing effort, ideas and skill. Even i...

Re: New Car Programme on TV Soon
I watched the first episode it was ok. That was exactly what I said about it when the wife asked if I had seen it. OK sums it up. All issues shown were sorted or advised on how to fix, but seemed like it lacked something although I don't really know what :headscratch: Quite agree Andy, it lacked so...

Re: Some cool stuff
Pretty cool . The real value in stuff like this becomes apparent when you try to find it .......might not be a lot of ££ but of great nostalgic historical value specially if you have the car too. This is the sort of thing that should tell a prospective buyer ( should you ever want to sell your Capr...

Re: 42 years old
Thanks for the replies. Steve Capri did the resto on it. I helped where I could and learnt about Capris. It's got supurb history which is what I like about the car. I would have done the same to a Cameo or 1.3L etc. I am over the moon with it and I think as most people agree, these things are never ...

I love MK1's and the flat fronted 4 spokes are supurb. I will keep an eye out. It looks good in white with the stripes which is a bonus - but an...
