Mk1 Capri 24V Cosworth

[PIO507]

Evening All.

Just having a look around on here. Looks like a very good site.

Below is my Mk1 Ford Capri. It was built first as a vintage car and is slowly moving towards a 'Vintage Drifter'.

Have done a couple of vintage track days and thrown it around in a few corners. Total novice but must learn some where. Hopefully i'll get more track time this year....

Well done with the forum and hopefully i'll see a few of ye at some track days...

Cheers Lads,

Rumour has it there about 190 - 200 Bhp.

They are fun in a Capri.

A bit slow to rev even with a 2.8 lightened flywheel..
