    That's the two things that grabbed me immediately. The V6 is far sweeter than in standard Ford tune.

    The V6 in this car is balanced and lightened, and revs so sweetly, not like my injection special!

    As much as absolutely love these I never really loved the body styling for some reason especially the front no idea why but I loved the interior superb . And I’d still sell granny to get one there quite wonderful. Nice car dude I’m respectfully a bit jealous lol🤣👍

    Hi, no not one I've ever seen and I've been a Capri owner for over 22 years. You could order factory modified cars direct from the dealer back then, oh how things have changed! Sounds like it was possibly a Series X factory car, very rare these days. Not sure where the white leather came from, that was never offered by Ford? You could even order one of these Tickfords from a Ford RS dealer, or direct from Tickford.

    If you haven’t started any car for a few months a good tip is to put it on a slow charge the night before.......

    It really sticks in my throat to say it,but the Aston-Capri is quite ugly.The 2.8 Brooklands looked way nicer.I know i'll probably get some hate for that statement,but it's all down to personal preference

    It's very much a marmite car. I always loved the bespoke hand built feel of it, but the body kit was of its time and just had to accept it. I sold this car around two and a half years ago now, miss it.

    Agreed. It's very passe looking now- bodykit's are so 80's and dated. The Tickford wasn't a well engineered car. The turbo installation is a complete mess and results in considerable turbo lag. The rear suspension axle location is a Heath-Robinson cock up. In order to locate the rear axle effectively, it's necessary to brace the axle by linking it to the chassis- ie using a Watt's linkage, or a panhard rod. Tickford simply braced the axle to the springs- so in effect, the springs are being stressed with addition lateral load. It's not a good engineering solution. Quite a few Tickford's have burnt out over the years due to the messy turbo installation. It's a sow's ear. Sorry, but there it is!

    Hate to tell you but that is not a Tickford Capri. Wrong steering wheel (Should be a momo) wrong back end (Should have round tail lights and round indicator lights, the did not have "Tickford" stickers, only a stainless steel plate on the chassis with "Tickford" engraved on them, no back seat. A lot of standard & some turbo capri's were made to try to look like the "Tickford" "clubsprints" but only 400 were made (200 in 1992, 100 in 1993 & 100 in 1994) I have a 1992 model & have had it for over 15 years now having completely rebuilt the motor & all running gear. Probably less than 100 still in road worthy condition now. Mine is just about to get another complete strip down & rebuild.
