1980 Ford Capri GL review from UK and Ireland
"One of the best cars Ford ever produced"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Apart from the rust and the heating system which had stopped working, I was very pleased with the car.
General comments?
We had to get rid of it because it was getting too rusty, and for a family car it was also getting too small. The fuel economy was also poor, but that didn't really matter because it was very cheap to run and parts were also cheap.
