I bought this Capri in 1995 as my first car. It was a rusty 2.3 Sport type in Oyster Gold finish. Restoration started in 1996 and now you can find 10-inches-wide Compomotive alloys hidden in the Mk2 X-pack glassfibre arches and wild 3-litre "stage 4" Essex under the bonnet. To this car and the other Capris is dedicated special web page: http://capri.fordever.cz

Taz
bought this rare P7 from Tom. Well done.
Taz is very proud to his Transit in gangsta-look. We use it as an info-bus during our club meetings.

...and in his latest homologation special
Piece of an american school is noticeable on Martin's Capri - raised tail and fat tyres on the rears. The hot-rod style on Capri is not my cup of coffe but each of us was young :-)
Car was complete restored in 2002 by Lukas and his dad Miroslav. They saved old Escort from the scrapyard. Both guys are very handy - their final product is one of greatest car in the Czech Republic.
Miroslav bought his blue shiny Granny in the middle of 80's - most of us had Fords just from Matchbox :-)
like father, like son
At the end of the year 2005, the “The Oldest Transit” competition took place also in the Czech Republic. The winner has been already known. It is rare Transit "Bedouin" in export modification for North Africa. This model was produced in September 1965. Considering the fact that the Great Britain has just had its own winner with the production date 1966, there is high possibility that the one from Czech Republic aspire to the oldest worldwide Transit on the licence plates. The second place in that competition gained Transit “Fire Fighter” produced in September 1966. The third place got a camper Transit in the original Westfalia modification, which left the factory plant in February 1969. The winner announcement took place in Prague in December.
February, 2006: The owner is our mate Vlastík who has obtained the voucher for 1,000 litre of fuel. FoMoCo Czech Republic wants to participate in the renovation of that car, in order to use it for advertisement of new models of that legendary lorry.
May, 2006: After three month (!) is the Oldest Transit in show condition. Car was completly welded and resprayed to its original paint. Each part of the car was restored, now we looking for the glass rubbers, original mirrors, etc.
Vlastík own another oldskool Fords: Ford Transit Mk1 "Wasp", Ford Cortina MkIII and '85 Escort XR3i
No,
this picture is not taken from original Ford brochure. You can see a piece (!)
of Jarek's collection. We know this lad
a longer time - his Cortinas are club sessions
guests every year. Jarek is a real advocate of an original state of cars - no
tuning, no modifications.
Transit yellow diesel power moved from Bufan to Jarek
Jura bought this Granny two years ago. Now is the car under light restoration and has a new vinyl roof. Consul Granada is rather rare in the Czech Republic and it's a real eyecatcher due to US-look tail.
