If you can tell me what this car is...

[Mobster]

...i'll buy you a pint of.......coke



BTW someone on this forum owns it.....

[Peter V.]

If i am right this is a Ford Capri MK 1.

I still like this type of car. Esspecially the MK3 with V6 engine.

[e21-Mark]

Possibly RS3.1 or the more desirable 2.6?

[Mobster]

Much more desirable than both of them.....the pint of coke is still on offer.

I am in love with this car.

[e21-Mark]

I imagine it's a South African import then? Perana?

[Mobster]

Its a UK car. You are wrong but i am impressed by your Mk1 Knowledge.

[e21-Mark]

Broadspeed?

[Mobster]

Doing some research there i see. Indeed it is.......but do you know which Broadspeed this is ? The answer is in the picture ?

[e21-Mark]

3 litre turbo or something going by the bonnet

[Mobster]

I owe you a pint of Diet coke. It was only ever you that was going to get it right.

This is indeed the Ford Capri Broadspeed Bullit Turbo....what a rare car.

I am in love....i want it.....anyone got £25k they can lend me.

I am VERY jealous of you.

Funnily enough Tom Walkinshaw started off racing MK1 Capris.

I had a MK1 3 litre when I was 18 (only fitted with a pinto tho) and always wanted a Uren.

I used to work for TW in the late '90s when they owned Arrows F1 Racing team. I was a trainee accountant in Leafield.

I actually work with a lot of ex TWR guys here in Australia. Lots of em came to Oz for a job they were doing at the time (holden commodore crewman), mostly CAD designer, engineers, chassis guys etc. Lots of em stayed here- nice weather, nice girls... A few went to holden racing team, most came to, and are still at holden in design/engineering.
