Ford Capri fun with Paul Woodford at the

No moustaches were harmed during the filming of this video!!

[@motorclaimguru]

My Dad had a 1.6 LX, in puke yellow/beige with a brown vinyl roof. Still remember the plate KRU646P

[@terryhosker1298]

Good to here from you Sara

[@audreypooks]

love the paul calf look

[@shauncorless8965]

Always wanted a capri back in the day but had to settle for my ferrari 😊

[@paulrak]

I had 2 Capris back in the day. Back when Capris were bangers and fell apart every time you drove them. I'd have another tomorrow.

[@liverush24]

I was doing a stunt with my Allegro ( yeah I know ) in a pub carpark, when a so-called friend decided to try and sabotage it by kicking the front wheel in the hope that it would straighten up & crash into the only other vehicle in the carpark, a 280 Brooklands. The car was driving itself around in circles in reverse with the choke out, while I sat on a wall ( like an idiot ) smoking. Somewhat panicked by my friend's sudden intervention, I managed to get back into my self-driving Allegro before any potential catastrophe.

[@hankpb1]

I had a 3.0S back in the day ...many a race with 2.8i ... rear end light in the wet

[@MrDBSV8]

why did you choose a 4 pot ? the only Capri worth its salt is a good old 3 litre or a 2.8i ... for those beasts you need a hairy chest

[@Sarah-CrabbersCrabtree]

Hi - we drove the Laser as it’s part of the Drive Dads Car fleet 😊

[@MrDBSV8]

I was hoping you were going to drive one with a stick on hairy chest ,,,,,😊😊looking forward to the next video really good stuff , I work overseas but we did a chocolate run for the chaps in Iraq in the DBS . Wife made a 007 Spoof video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJakdGqmpaZnsJY thanks

[@leslietearle8155]

i had 3 capris, my first one was xreg 2.8 in silva 4 speed box no limited slip, second was 2.8 blue and silva 5 speed box limited slip, then the Brooklands, loved the capri there a great drive so different to other cars, now i drive a mercedes c63 give me a capri any day ❤️

[@5678niall]

Not many ladies can still look great with a tash. 😍😍 Only the 2.8 and 3 litre versions were real man's Capris 🤪

[@jennifernicholas523]

The 3 ltr Mk1 was the best of them all.

[@poolfarm2]

I actually owned a Mk1 3000GT Crayford Capri in the 80's, wish I still had it.

[@NUBBY39]

​@poolfarm2 I had a Mk1 3000E, I feel the same wish I still had mine

[@JohnSmith-ei2pz]

Yes the original and best!

[@MreViewer]

I remember the first time I saw a Capri was in 1969, a 3.0 spinning it's wheels up Deptford high street, it greatly impressed this 15 y/o! In the 70's I drove a 2.8i which was nice but a bit of disappointment... The rest of the range was a bit overrated IMHO

[@dcarbs2979]

Fun fact: The Capri was the first car ever featured on Top Gear. Angela Rippon in an almost new Mk2 in 1977.

[@ArtCarFunky]

This should be the Top Gear replacement! 🙂👍

[@davidrix804]

Hooray for the capri as it’s outlasted the mustang,who said British cars are crap,oh yea the Americans did,and look at the American car market,it’s collapsed🙏🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@absolutely2935]

Had a yellow mark 2 with black vinyl roof

[@absolutely2935]

Sarah still in Ford today - this time a new Mach 1 Mustang xx 😘

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

I used to work with a mechanic that called them “Transit Coupe’s” 😂🤣😂

[@garethparr9482]

My second car was a 1.6 LS I loved that car and still hanker for its big brother the 2.8

[@TheStwat]

I had a 2.0 Laser in the 90's and absolutely loved it. I was amazed how many heads it turned as I was driving along.

[@MrRetro-]

That capri deffo needs a camshaft! I can hear it knocking its tits off 😂😂

[@absolutely2935]

Love Sarah - adorable 🥰

[@jimmyquinn9639]

Lovely car and excellent video Sarah 🚗🚙🚘👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@dustymiller7758]

Great entertainment, had a Capri 2.0 back in the 80's funny enough a moustache too at the time. You needed a bag of cement in the 2.8 boot in the wet to try and stop it spinning out lol

[@cologne2792]

By the later seasons of The Professionals, Bodie and Doyle both had 3.0S Capris.

[@bigpants6121]

who had the RS escort?

[@alanjackson2712]

Lmao

[@JohnKerrigan-p5m]

Vw t4 2 litre petrol engine

[@JanisRubery]

Granada's for me much better 👍

[@Captain_Scarlet_SIG]

I had five Granada’s Mk1’s & 2’s loved them I also had two Capri’s a Mk1 2.0 GT & Mk2 3.0 Ghia terrible things to drive in the wet and winter conditions absolutely lethal and rusted nearly as bad as an Alfasud.😂

[@dawncrisp8531]

This was my first car after passing my test in a ford fiesta 😂

[@BeasleyStreet]

SLE 71R, MJN 701V, EUC 223V & LTF 980P...The most famous Capri's i know😂😂😂

[@cactusthomas914]

A nice little earner. Plus a bit of sweeney.

[@alanellis6688]

Drove the Capri for my 40th birthday, was a great experience, even if the steering was very heavy

[@paulrak]

Wuss! Power steering was for wimps back then..

[@dcarbs2979]

4-cylinder by the sound if it?

[@Stevieweevietv]

Haha love these videos. Silly and informative in equal measure. Do like a Capri...think i prefer this generation for the quad headlights. Impressive tash action too. Crabbers one is even colour coded with the inside of her coat...what style! I even forgot she was wearing one after a while. Paul clearly can't carry off a tash 😂

[@Sarah-CrabbersCrabtree]

😂😂😂😂

[@Barbarapape]

I was spoiled in that i had the ultimate Capri a Tickford one with all the body kit that sort of fitted in places, but at a distance it looked the part and had if anything too much power when it came to taking corners at speed. The were and still are a highly desirable car that has not aged like some have. I have always found Ford gearboxes to be very good, but some 5 speed ones can be a little notchy. Sarah and Paul make a great team, looking forward to more video's.

[@markmiwurdz202]

Does anybody remember the Capri Comanche V6 by Jeff Uren? Mr Uren's company "breathed" on other early Fords like the Cortina marks 1/2/3 & possibly 4 (Savage) and the Escort marks 1/2 (Navaho and Apache). Bet there's not many of these left out there.

[@wallace686]

Mk II for me - that’s what Bodie drove in The Professionals; UOO 903T and a Mk III; OWC 827W Wallace, IoW 😉

[@Wizards_Sleeve]

My old man bought a brand new Mk 3 1.6GL Crapi, silver, black vinyl roof and red velour interior.... quality 😂

[@patrickh7368]

Capri is more related to an Escort… Cortina was so different… I had 3, a 1.6L 2.0GL with side linkage gearbox and a 2.0S with a 5 speed but still “crash” reverse when Vauxall were doing sincro’s for years… 😊

[@CortinasAndClassics]

Fabulous car, I would like to drive one some day. the tash's were brilliantly funny.

[@alexwade9921]

Love the face merkin Crabbers. Much sexier than the Crapi! 😂😂🤣

[@dh88comet]

I had a mark 1 1300XL immediately followed be my Mark III 3.0 Ghia, loved it.

[@pauljeffries]

So so so much wrong information about the car in this video, also, Roger Clark never campaigned a mk1 capri as a rally car......it was a mk1 escort, please do your research before releasing a video, and if you can only drive the car around an estate at the british car journey.....then I personally wouldn't have bothered, the last time that a 1.6 Kent engine was used in a capri was in 1973! The lad in this video clearly knows nothing about classic fords whatsoever......sorry......but thats a fact.

[@robertedmead3684]

Brilliant video ladie and gent takes me back to my youth oh dear 😂

[@chrisblay]

Always wanted a Capri as a teenager. Had to make do with a Mk2 Escort. 🤣

[@kevsmith6397]

Great seeing Sara always, and with the tash, very awkward lol ❤

[@nervo6321]

Cheers for another enjoyable video Crabbers

[@jezcon9467]

Why did you leave bangers and cash?

[@patrickh7368]

Nice Dempsey n Makepeace impression … 🤔

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

I had a few capris mk2 1.6 jps , mk3 2L ghia and a 2.8 injection they were great I loved them but cortina mk3,s were my most favorite…this is odd Sarah looked uncannily like my mate Ozzy with that tash I couldn’t escape it although he never wore glasses if I remember 🤔🤣

[@Sarah-CrabbersCrabtree]

😂😂😂

[@kencurran4052]

I just love you two doing these videos. So much fun ❤

[@monkey555500]

wish i still had my capri

[@BigPaul62]

I own 3 of them!

[@patrickh7368]

D Reg was the last… a chap I knew had Capris for years n years but after they stopped went Japanese and had a totally different experience at dealers he was expected respected and had treatment second to non… and my personal experience at Ford dealerships…never going there again…. They are terrible! 😊

[@dcarbs2979]

The last were built on D-reg (19/12/86), but a few made to it E, F and there are even a couple of G-reg Capris (both 280s). I've seen some E-reg 2.8i Specials, which is odd as the last of the line 280 had been on sale for almost a year by then.

[@vinparaffin6082]

Now i've seen Sarahs beard, my lifes work is done !

[@Sarah-CrabbersCrabtree]

😂😂

[@kf-dk5pb]

Sarah reminded me of Paul carf 😂

[@byeckfella]

🤣🤣🤣

[@motohq5341]

Keep the tash Sara 😅

[@Sarah-CrabbersCrabtree]

😂😂

[@Granto-ni9qw]

❤love the tash,, Sarah xx

[@Granto-ni9qw]

Sarah hope ya well. Just love ya ya fabulous thanks for the reply xxxx best wishes grant xxx

[@lewis72]

Capri was a bit of an embarrassing anachronism by the '80s. You could get the 2.0i S, XR4i or XR4x4 Sierras from '82-ish onwards, which were far more modern in looks, even if the engines were much the same.

[@djrichylaurence8991]

Love Sarah, sassy and funny ❤

[@supermansbigsister3012]

I had several Capri's in my younger days ranging from a MK1 1.6 ohv to a MK3 2.8 injection.. because of the length, rear wheel drive and power of a 2.8 if you gave it a bit too much gas on bends and roundabouts you were in a spin. Proper driving..

[@1brenmaster]

What kind of person loved a Capri ? Someone who loved understeer 🫣
