A Slightly Shambolic Shuffle Around the Capri 50th Birthday at Brooklands - Lloyd Vehicle Consulting

The Slightly Shambolic Shuffles are back! In this longest video ever, we visit the 50th Birthday of the Ford Capri Celebrations at the Brooklands Museum near Weybridge in Surrey, which was organised by the Surrey Capri Club. Over 250 Capris were rumoured to have been present, and I saw everything from an early 1969 Mark I to a number of Capri 280 Brooklands models registered in late 1987. The quality and variety of cars on show was absolutely outstanding.
Get ready for a quest to find the perfect Professionals style Capri, broken concrete surfaces, lots of lovely Tickford Capris, pedantic obsessions with identifying cars with the correct wheels, a very, very nice end of the line Capri 2.0 Laser (which may be featuring in future videos), lots of references to Ford Granadas, a surprising number of V8s engines, masses of ignorance and a general deterioration in camerawork as I get more and more excited... Nothing untoward, then!

Great to see these classic cars again . My late grandad had one of what must been the very first mk1. Basic 1300 ‘s in a brown colour. As kids at the time we thought it was so fast and sporty even though he rarely exceeded 30 miles an hour god bless him 😊 20 years later I became the owner of a 2.8 I. . It’s incredible that Ford designed a car that could accommodate such a big range of engines. Looking at the prices now I wish I had kept mine as it would be worth a fortune now .

Thanks to all concerned for putting on this meeting. It was a fantastic day. Thanks for the nice comments on my '81 3 litre Ghia. She still scrubs up pretty well despite being restored over 20 ears ago............

Owned a 1972 2.6 liter german built capri forest green metallic with black vinyl roof. Here in the US but have visited the UK and have been to a capri club international meet in Birmingham. That was great fun.

I own WGO 937W and have done since 2000 - Amazing collection of the legend that is ' The Capri!

Oh I always fancied owning a Capri but I was too young when they came out on sale ( born 77)that green one was in phenomenal condition 😍😍

I'm from the US and my friend and I attended this meet and he even appeared in the background of your video. It was very impressive display of Capris. I've owned 4 of them but none since 2006.

Fantastic in-depth look into the Capri's 50th Birthday. Thanks
-
Thankyou so much for uploading, as a former Capri owner for 22 years it brought back so many memories. The MK 1 3.0 GTs at 7.40 and 14.25 e.t.c are actually RS 3.1s of which only 248 were made so it was really good to see so many there. By the way your knowledge of the Capri is actually very good, better than most of my Rover knowledge. Thanks once again Sir.

So many of my friends will love this video. Nice one

I worked for Broadspeed from 1970-75 building race and road cars. We built about 30 or so turbo capris and I remember building the bronze Broadspeed Turbo Bullit back in early 1972. Amongst others there were two that were exported to Spain for exhibit at the Barcelona Motor Show by Giuseppe Riesi in 1973. One was red the other blue. The blue one was then bought by Rafael Barrios. He had it converted to left hand drive. It eventually found its way back to the UK some years later.

As a big fan in the States it was beautiful to see! Severally underappreciated over here. I've owned an early Mk1 2.0, a late Mk1 2.8 both of which I autocrossed, a '76 2.8 Giha and finally a '76 2.8 which I autocrossed. The last one was lowered a rear sway bar added to reduce understeer and the front bar located to eliminate slippage. Barells of fun, miss them all and always a rare sight here. Wished for an X pack to this day.

So this is what heavens car park looks like then ! Beautiful cars those mk1s are so gorgeous 🙏👍
