Those were the last days of true originality in automotive design, before the birth of CAD, which has succeeded to homogenise affordable cars now into looking totally bland and non-descript, and virtually all the same!

Good to see you around again Andr'eYou were a cool dude in a Capri in the early 70's
My father had the '3000E' V6 Mk.1.. this model was the top of the range & very fast, probably the fastest car they produced over here at the time..1970-72.. The latter ones were best at 138BHP, 0-60 in around 8 seconds, Top speed 122 mph. good going for over 40 year ago.
By the way, look up the Ford RS3100Now there was the Capri to have
