As a child in the 70s, I had no exposure to American cars. The Capri was a space ship! And with the Professionals connection - a cool car.
My mate has a fully restored 2.8i which he took me out in the night before my wedding - I probably remember that trip more than the wedding 😂😂😂😂

The fear sticks ;) great cars but sooo shit. Handled terribly, rusted and the last lot were sold 5 years after production had finished.
Had a turbo technics conversation and then second turbo technics set of parts in a very rusty Capri. Scary amounts of turbo lag and lots ot suspension mods to make it handle.

The original was based on the the North American Maverick, no? Most of the late 60s / early 70s two door coupes in the US had similar body shapes. The entire GM line of Olds / Buick / Chevy from that era are worth reviewing. Dodge / Plymouth Charger too.
It certainly looks better than what they did to the Mustang.
