Re: Car SOS Ford Capri 3100 !!!!
This Capri was at the CCI on Sunday and what a great Capri it is , Andrew got some great pictures of the car as they must get together with a race company ( can’t Remember the name now ) as there’s a Crome plaque at the side .
Looking forward to this show .

Me too Andy. Though it will be out there online.andyd wrote:Haven't got this channel, so will have to wait for a repeat on Freeview.

The name on the plaque was Ric Wood, probably the best in the business for building rapid Essex V6 engines. I'd be interested to know exactly how much of this "restoration" was done by him rather than the SOS crowd.Jasonmarie wrote:This Capri was at the CCI on Sunday and what a great Capri it is , Andrew got some great pictures of the car as they must get together with a race company ( can’t Remember the name now ) as there’s a Crome plaque at the side .

Hi Nick,
I don't usually watch Car SOS, so thanks for the heads up about the Capri episode.

At last didn't know this was coming on this week. Andrews pictures show a lot of detail work has gone into it. Looking forward to hearing the background story & seeing the car receive the great work that Fuzz & his team lavish on these restorations.

Re: Car SOS Ford Capri 3100 !!!!
Was well impressed with his workmanship & attitude. He didn't want to make a simple RS replica, but an uprated version with its own style. Very nicely finished, well engineered & powerful car.

I really did enjoy this as I saw the car on Sunday and then see them build the car up from bits and bobs . Well worth watching .

My TiVo did not tape this Capri Car SOS because unknown to me I had my recordings for this show set to max 25 episodes and had exceeded this so it did not bleedin well tape the Capri one. I was distraught as next rerun was not till next weekend !! I was checking you tube this morning but could not find it. Thanks for this link fella. Good man yourself !!!!
I will watch it tomorrow now. Nice one old chap
All the best
Nick
PS I have now reset my TiVo to allow me to tape ALL episodes of ALL the car shows if there is space on the box...I have not told Mrs Fordoholic Nick yet...maybe she wont notice

Re: Car SOS Ford Capri 3100 !!!!
I enjoyed it but they didn't have to try and make us think that the owner thought they had a genuine RS when you could clearly see from a mile away it wasn't! TV drama I suppose. Nice power from an Essex too but I think I would've fitted a 5speed box.
Re: Car SOS Ford Capri 3100 !!!!
Thanks for the link Andrew
That was a good episode, and quite a bit more informative than others I have seen in the past.
Great car and with 220 bhp that will be a great drive, it sounds great too
Nice to see the likes of Ric Wood still enjoying what he does and doing a great job

Somebody else may re-upload it, keep checking YouTube for new uploads. Failing that, it will probably be on More 4 or whatever in a few months.
