Information

The Capri modelled is well-known on the old-school Ford scene and has been featured in Classic Ford magazine. Originally a Black 3.0S, by 2004 it was offered for sale in Bradford in poor condition. Glasgow-based enthusiast Steve de la Rosa initially viewed it because he was looking for a spare engine but being impressed by the spare panels and its rare undamaged yellow Cadiz interior, purchased it for £300. Having owned many Capris, he'd always wanted to build a black 3.0S Mk2 X-Pack like the one he'd admired daily, displayed on a turntable at Ford dealers Crouches of Ashford, Kent, while passing on his way home from school in 1975.

The plan to turn the new car into his dream X-Pack didn't start well as the company he employed had done poor-quality work. Steve was able to recover the car eventually, after taking legal action, but was disenchanted. He then got talking to Adam Langley of Capri Restorations, Weston-Super-Mare, about JPS Capris, they hit it off and the car was transported to Adam's workshop. Five weeks of frantic activity followed during which the pair decided to paint it orange rather than black. The finished car garnered much praise when it made its debut on the Classic Ford stand at Santa Pod in 2008. Circumstances forced Steve to sell it, reluctantly, in 2010. Since 2019 it's been owned by Suffolk-based enthusiasts Paul and Sarah Fryatt.
