Ford Capri Mk I 3000 GT XLR - A refreshing change of pace | Tyrrell's Classic Workshop

There is nothing on TV that can match this channel no gimmicks no bull shit just pure passion and knowledge about cars 👌🏼

"A little bit approximate in terms of where you point it" might be the most polite thing I've ever heard. 😂

I've worked out the common denominator between Iain's channel and Harry ' s. ..it's the passion that shines through, the passion for nerdy engineering facts and the simple love of cars. Neither of these gents need to be on youtube as it is more of a hobby (filming that is) but I for one am eternally grateful they share their infectious enthusiasm with us. Thank you Iain!

I'm so glad you mentioned that cars don't have to be six figure priced cars in order to be enjoyable to own or drive!

From Harry's garage to tyrrells garage in one Go 💖❤️

First Harry’s garage and now Tyrrel’s classic workshop. The Sunday is saved!

Oh that was such fun! I have to tell you a little story! My dad brought one of the Capris you showed! My parents had an hotel and this car was rusting even though it was new! We had a person staying at the hotel and asked if my dad liked his Capri? Well What my dad did not know at the time, was this man was a director of Fords staying in my dads hotel! He had a man come down to look at the problem and my dad had 3 free resprays and it still rusted! In the end my dad was told to go to his local ford dealer and choose a new car! Which dad did and he got a 3.0 GXL which we kept up until 1998! You could see it was a German built Capri! However I could never find out if it was a germen V6 or a English V6 My dad did drive from Edinburgh to London back in the 70'S in 5 hours I still remember that trip! Thank you for that lovely trip down memory lane!! My dads firt one was WCV 181J his second one was RAF 840M Dad also took mum back to a war time base she was at and the Guard thought dad was a high ranking office and nearly let us through LOL Sadly my dad died 20 years ago and mum died in 2019 aged 95

I don't know whether it's my age,but what I once thought of as a rather humble little car,now looks to my old eyes, really rather beautiful.

I worked in Dagenham when they unveiled the Capri in pta , the workforce were stunned

I've never seen you smile so much driving a car .

Saab 900 Turbo, Rover SD1 and now a MK1 Capri. Each one was a common sight then - and all are so rar today. Your smile, while driving the Capri, shows how much you love these cars! Thank you for this emotional drive!

Having owned several 3 litre Capris in my youth, i really loved this video! Still a great sounding car and i genuinely still get excited whenever i see one at a car show. I've owned several 400+ horsepower V8 Muscle Cars since then, but i'd have another 3 litre Capri in a heart beat.

Love it! Proud owner of a 1975 Mk2 3.0 Ghia :)

122mph flat out. 60 in 8.2 seconds. Serious poke back in the 70's. it's easy to forget just how rapid the 3.0 Essex Capris were back in the day.

Had a quite a few 3 litre Capri's in the early 80,s and I loved them they were great fun made a nice noise and still a personal favourite of mine , its nice to hear somebody who knows what their talking about, who reviewed it warmly and genuinely enjoyed driving it , the 3 litre cars were totally different to 1.6 or the 2.0 cars to drive , the people who've owned the 3.0 cars will know what I'm talking about ,brought back some good memories that. Thanks 👍

Capri what a beutiful car 3.0 in 1969 ive owned 4 capris what a peice of british motoring history i want one.

What a fantastic video. I had a mk1 2000GT followed by a mk2 3000S Black JPS. Happy days. Wish I still had them.

Well done , Ian for not being a car snob: another terrific video!

Bodie and Doyle approve this content 👍

My older cousin had one of these, loved riding in it. I still think the MK1 was the best looking Capri of all the generations.
