Very nice car. Lower to the ground would be good. Greets from Germany.

[@Bonzoguy66]

I know, but they also made a Cortina 3.0 savage , and Ford of South Africa , made some special models+ the perana v8 capri

[@anders_p]

Nice to hawe one of those cars😊👍 I also heard of Granada V8.

[@arielcastignani]

Hermosa coupé 👍👍👍

[@Bonzoguy66]

They made a Sierra xr8i with a Windsor v8 5.0

Gretchen Car. I have also one but a two door sedan

[@anders_p]

Nice to hear 🙂👍

2.8 Liter? Der Motor wurde dann aber nachträglich eingebaut. Dieses Modell gab es ursprünglich bis 2.3 Liter Hubraum. Bei diesem Motor sollte man eigentlich noch die zusätzlichen Armaturen inklusive Drehzahlmesser einbauen. Ich hatte das selbe Auto mit dem 2.0 Liter V6 Zylinder GXL. Da waren diese Armaturen serienmäßig dabei.

I have change the engine from 1600 OHC to a Granada 2,8 V6. I will remove these emblem soon.

[@jakefiersing]

I like the look of your car. Seems to be the big brother of a capri mk1.

[@anders_p]

A lot of parts from Capri fit Taunus and also Cortina 😊

[@Bonzoguy66]

These cars, were sold in Europe, with 1.6 - 2.0 or 2.3. Your engine, must be from a newer Ford capri or Granada .

[@anders_p]

@@Bonzoguy66 thats right, the engine is from a 2,8 Granada. Same block as 2,0 n 2,3 V6. The gear box was taken from a Sierra 2,0 OHC. Its easy to rebuild the car back to original if I want that in future.

[@Bonzoguy66]

Nice that you have Kept it, in such shape. Last time , i drove in one, was a stroked 2.3 gxl in the late eighties. I believe, they made 3.0’s in South Africa , until 77 Maybe

[@anders_p]

@@Bonzoguy66 3,0 esex was made in uk, not the same block as German V6.

[@valentijnwissing1759]

Wonderful car, do you maybe know the name of the wheels? I really like the look of the chrome and I want to put it on my Capri. Thanks

[@anders_p]

Thank you so much! 🙂
My chrome weels come from Appliance. A old brand who not exist to day, I think. Seek on internet at Appleance and you will find a lot of classic weels.
P:s Hope to se your Capri soon 🙂
