These are one of the few old school Euro-spec Coupes I still like. Totally awesome car! They should make a Modern one. One with a sleek shell, with the Focus RS, or at least the ST engine would do. And we will have a proper Scirocco rival at last!

For it not to be a Mustang. Remember the Escort Cosworth? There were a number of good Ford coupes that were V6.

I'm not sure there were. I can only think of the Capri. And I am not sure how the Escort Cosworth gets a mention, as that is not a coupe and not V6 (or V8).

This is one of many cars that you could work on and tune yourself , apart from putting a bag of sand in the boot to stop it fish tailing the capri was an advanced car for the era. They may look dated but at the time this was every schoolboys dream , the sound of a capri as you give it the berries up the road there was nothing like it, there was no health and safety in the 80s which made this car popular for petrol heads for racing Id like to see any modern car be a classic like this...

Yeahh exactly, thats what i mean. Im too young for this car... Prety much my whole life time (born 1995) cars havnt been workable or tunable by yourself and engines have been covered by plastics... The only way a modern car could be a classic like this is with an extraordinary dessign... sorry for double post

But the good thing is you could get one of these for next to nothing these days , I know a 15 year old that had one these so when they passed their test you have a capri on classic car insurance :)
