Right alot of interest in this car and no it is not far sale the reason it is there is I am helping my friend sell all the other cars that are in front of it so that it can be taken out and put back on the road for his young son to restore together!

Lucky guy

Always amazing to hear old cars comming back to life again.

I don't know why but i love this Pinto sound 😅 my father in ninetis had 3 Capri, Granada and Sierra with this engines and still good memories when i hear it ❤ now my turn - Mk1 waiting for me Greetings from Poland! :)

Have owned 3 CAPRI'S in my days back in the 70's early 80's. 1600, 2 litre V4 and I was privileged to own a 3.000 litre V6 SAVAGE. JUST WISH I STILL OWNED IT TO DAY.😢 MY V4 I TOTALY REBUILT THE ENGINE. At home after getting it rebored, head skimmed, new pistons, rings, ect. A FANTASTIC car of it's time and still is in the right hands. BUT THIS GUY REALY DOES NOT KNOW HIS WAY AROUND ENGINES LET ALONE THE FORD CAPRI.

MOT was valid in May 2021 so doesn't really count as a "find" as it was never "lost". 😉

Just found your channel. It was so nice hearing the old girl cough into life. Gonna go through your videos and binge watch being ive got some free time at work

Absolutely 💯 awesome love the video

That will be a nice project for your friend and son to do.Hope you update on its progress.x

3:36 ahh yes, the sound of every car in the 80s/early 90s being dragged back to life on a weekday morning in anything other than high summer ( a random Wednesday to Sunday in August).

In the U.S. they had the Mercury badge and also came with a V6 that was a screamer. Mine was a 1973 with only a 4 cylinder but it was a simple car that was easy to work on and reliable until the rust became too much. Living where it snowed often in the Winter and salt was used on the roads wasn't kind to it at all unfortunately.

That's a strong running little four banger. With a two barrel carb! Cool

Great car, brings back some good memories I used to own one back in the 80s with the 2.0 Pinto there was a 1.6 version as well. This one has a water leak at the back of the engine probably from the heater matrix pipes

Love Capris awesome

Brings back good memories

Love a classic Ford 😍

I had a 2.0s with janspeed manifold and exhaust and a 3.0s which I bought cheap but turned out to be carb'd cologne v6 out of a Granada lol. Long time ago but were fun times. Capris were great cars to learn how to drive in. Wet roads and roundabouts were happy memories.

I had 2 booted Capris, a 1.6 and a 2.L i don't recall either having a manual choke,i just used to pump the throttle twice to start it.

I loved the Capri and had several throughout the eighties and nineties! i enjoyed the video watching you bring back to life this old lady! Is it a 1.6 or 2.0 litre Pinto? It sounded really smooth without any rattles or other noise. Like you mentioned, very bomb proof engines the old Pintos! So simple to work on in the days of fixing cars with "a hammer and screwdriver" 😊

Pinto’s were good strong engines, till the camshaft oil feed pipe fell off, and starved the cam lobes of precious lubricant.
