This was my first car. Got a good start to my carpentry career with this car. Got 22+ mpg on the highway. I miss that car not long after I sold it.

How ironic. He turns the radio on and it’s playing a song that was new when I bought my 1973 Capri in August 1982 Los Angeles, just before my 19th birthday. I don’t remember the name of the group but the song was “What I Like about you” and they became really popular a year or so later with “I hear the secrets that you keep” . Great band and great Car. Lot’s of memories in that being my very first car.

"Synchro" has nothing to do with the sound a gearbox makes in a particular gear. 13.49 and 18.22

We had an XJS V12 when I was a kid. Not practical at all (mechanically), and the rear seats sucked even as a kid! I would love another one but would definitely get a straight 6, regardless of year.

@JazzFunkNobby1964 6 ай бұрын

I am from the UK. I don't understand when you say this is a Mercury Capri. I know this as a Ford Capri. It is built by Ford so who or what is Mercury?

Lovely car but is a shame is missing the JAGUAR badge on the boot/trunk lid though and the gear knob isn't correct for a 3.8.

Given that it's an early car with flat floors, shouldn't the bonnet louvers be welded? Maybe not all flat floors have welded louvers? Maybe the bonnet was replaced at some point?

@jagsimon640 7 ай бұрын

For a very short period the factory produced flat floors with stamped louvres as they transitioned to recessed floors.

@ClassicMotorFilms 7 ай бұрын

@@jagsimon640 there was no concept of clean transitions from one model to the next back then. If they ran out of an older part they used the new stocks. If they didn’t run out they’d just keep using the old stocks.

An important piece of information Germany is now getting the missing money from garage owners through fines: The building authority is currently banning people from putting deregistered cars or cars with seasonal license plates or classic cars in garages, so my neighbor got a high fine and I now have to sell my old car there By order of the building authority, I am no longer allowed to put it in the garage and no longer tinker with it outside (in my own secluded garden!) and I cannot register it because the body has not yet been completely finished...the new Gavvo legislation is prohibited Every action in the garage other than driving in and out or unloading and loading categorically (even vacuuming!). I even had to put my old car, compressor and work table out in the snow, take a photo of it and send it to construction supervision. In the future, deregistered cars will no longer be allowed to be parked, as they are considered a structure on private property as soon as they are deregistered and you will then automatically be contacted and asked for a building application.

Norman Dewis the Jaguar test driver drove to the Geneva motor show for an urgent display in 61 in the brand new e type.if memory serves me right it was about 700 miles, took him 11 hours at an average of 68 mph. The roads then weren’t anything to write home about and he would be over forty years of age at the time. They didn’t make cissies then😊.

I worked at a car shop in Honolulu in the `70`s. My first clutch job on an XKE took me about 10hrs. 2nd one I did in 8hrs. If memory serves me right. Book time was 12hrs.
