Want to reply to alot of these posts, but this one caught my eye. I have the LCI, but notice the mirrors on yours are different? These look more like Fseries mirrors?

What model is yours?

Stunning Capri you have there Vish!!

Would that be the RS3100 motor or what do you have in there? Engine wise?

In their day the Cosworth Racing version made something like 324 KW with a twin Carb.
Unbelievable.

I remember the Capri as somewhat desirable as a kid but have never been in one nor driven one.

What are they actually like to drive?
I believe the handling was greatly improved on the later models and went on to do well in the touring class racing.

So what does a car like that do in terms of performance and how does it feel at speed?

2003 Z4 with 87K on the clock (15 years old...owned for 6 months now)

Nice find on the Z3, really looks mint.

Your e39 looks good, these cars looked after, really age well.

not a Z3....but a Z4

Thank you Maverick
The Capri Perana was a Ford factory produced 302W, V8. Conversion was done by Basil Green motors for Ford. Power was 210kw. 0 to 100 was claimed to be 6.7 seconds in 1970. There were approx 550 of these cars produced.
Driving an old school V8 is something every driver should experience at least once in their lifetime.

The XR8 is a much more balanced car, better handling and braking.
