😮Excellent build Alex, I used to have a Capri MKIII S, a 3 litre beast, my 2 litre Triumph Vitesse could keep up with it, but couldn't overtake it though. But I loved both of them equally....
Wish I still had them🙁

Than you Steve 🙂 I would love to have a Vitesse. Ford have never been my cup of tea to be honest, even tho i liked building this one for some strange reason i can't explain 🙂

I liked the Capri MKIII S coz! Bodie and Doyle used to chuck it about, doing doughnuts, handbrake turns, scaring the general public and chasing girls in it... But I expect you're too young to remember these two from the TV programme " The Professionals "...

Alexander Aristides Cronvall
I don't think that was shown on swedish television. We only had the persuaders, allo allo and Dad's army 🙂And Benny Hill of course😉

Benny Hill as Ernie...
Did doughnuts in his fastest milk float in the west, they won't forget 'ol Ernie!!!
Stupid Boy!!!😢😄

I thought it was 2 ton Ted that did doughnuts after having his wicked way with Sue.🙂

Alexander Aristides Cronvall
@Steve 😉 @John it's a quite complicated story 😉

She said she'd like to bathe in milk, he said, "All right, sweetheart,"
And when he'd finished work one night he loaded up his cart.
He said " Do you want pasteurized? coz! pasteurized is best! "...
she said, " Ernie, I'll be happy if it comes up to my chest. "
And that tickled 'ol Ernie.
Now Ernie 'ad a rival an evil lookin' man.
Called two ton Ted from Teddington and 'e drove the Bakers Van!!!
He tempted her with his treacle tarts and his tasty wholemeal bread,
And when she seen the size of his hot meat pies it very near turned her head.
She nearly swooned at his macaroon and he said, "If you treat me right,
You'll have hot rolls every morning and crumpets every night."
He knew once she sampled his layer cake he'd have his wicked way,
And all Ernie had to offer was a pint of milk a day.🤔

The car of my dreams! I had a Capri II S, 2.3 V6 in color saturn metallic blue end of the 1980s. Of course, in the road and not racing version 🙂
Very nicely built, Alexander! 👍
