Another piece of history that today results in a fast driving experience.

But this classic car does not only have significant emotional value for him: his grandchildren have dubbed the Capri a “racing car”, while his wife lovingly describes it as a “pick-up car”. Young and old can feel the fascination of this car - it even gets a thumbs up from young people passing by!
Greetings from the legend: The Ford Capri is not just a car, it is a living legend on wheels that continues to conquer hearts and embodies a symbiotic dream of freedom and speed. A truly unforgettable chapter in automotive history!
