Information

This is a Ford Capri model car with extra cool points! With its bright Signal Green livery, it is already a stand-out vehicle, but this heavily modified design is also car-circuit famous, appearing at shows all over the country. A highly detailed replica in 1:43 scale, it is a great addition to your Ford model collection.

This die-cast model is a limited edition of 1,600.

The Capri modelled is one of the best-known X-Pack Mk2 Capris in the UK, having won numerous trophies, including 'Best Modified' at the 2017 Capri MkII Register's National Day, and 'Overall Winner at the 2017 Mild to Wild show. The bodyshell started life as a silver 1.6GL, which the then Somerset-based Capri enthusiast and restorer Adam Langley spotted for sale in Abergavenny, Wales in 2015.

He went to view the car and was impressed by how solid the bodyshell seemed, so he purchased it to restore. He started by stripping it down to ascertain if it was as good as his first impressions had indicated, and was pleased to find it was.

The car did, however, need some welding in the common corrosion spots, including the wheel arches, so Adam decided to build his dream 3-Litre X-Pack using a bodykit supplied by the Capri Club, and strengthening the structure where needed to handle the extra power.

He fitted a tuned Essex V6, a Type 9 5-speed gearbox and 2.8i suspension to improve the handling before finishing it off in a bright period-correct Ford colour. He bought the TNT registration number because he felt it should have an explosive plate!

Having enjoyed the car, Adam sold it in May 2018 to the current owner, Suffolk-based Dave Barnes. He has rebuilt and further tuned the engine, which now produces around 170bhp, and repainted it to ensure a lasting, high-quality finish.
