I always got the impression Ford designed all their cars* with full motorsport getup, then stripped it back to make the basic models, even the Fiesta looks ‘right’ in RS trim and missing stuff without it.

*most of the current range excepted obviously since it’s not designed other than by committee

In what world is a full seventies race spec Capri a ‘horror?’

This hearing aid beige, 1.3L (fifty five rampaging brake horsepower) is a horror;

That is a thing of greatness- especially with BASTOS randomly written on the side.

I’m loving that Capri - chin spoiler, subtly flared arches, serious amount of rubber and side pipes - what’s not to like?

They say “hearing-aid beige 1.3L” - we say “donor bodyshell” :+1:

That one, as an immaculate example, should be kept as it is as a warning from history; a sort of wheeled two fingered salute to bores that go on about how much better things used to be, but yes, I generally agree.

I’m always fascinated by the mental processes that delivered the notion “I want a sporty-looking coupe, but I’d better not risk being exposed to Fun, so it’d better have the engine out of a ride-on lawnmower and shopping-trolley wheels”…

Isn’t it a weird side effect of the benefits in kind company car system? (I was >1 when that car was made so the finer points of the company car system of the period is not my specialist subject).

Essential accessory…

What a gorgeous car!

The fact that I couldn’t afford one, let alone the running costs is moot.
