The motor's exterior is finished with an elegant black with chrome detailing over a black interior. The two-litre Pinto engine was ripped out and replaced with a ci V8 engine and boasts an array of impressive features. These include a fresh steel crank and rods, forged pistons, big-valve alloy heads, sports cam and alloy water pump. The retro motor was one of the standout sales at the Classic Motor Show at the NEC, Birmingham - with over cars changing hands for eye-watering sums of money that weekend.
At the time, the Ford was described by auction house Iconic Auctioneers as "unlikely to be surpassed in terms of its originality". While this Escort was exchanging hands for an eye-watering sum of money, we were lucky enough to meet Ford superfan Stuart - whose Ford Capri was one of the highlights of the entire show. Indeed, Stuart's owned 12 different Capris over the years, with his current Mk3 a particular cracker. I'm Ford all over. I've always liked Capri. I've always loved them.
