Just scanned this real sleeper of a Capri, this one was also fitted with an Essex V-6.
Mick Wills from Southamptons old one, ended up owned by the guy with juiced late 50's Impala hearse.
Found this one of mine ,on the 'net , when first on the road .

That is a great custom Capri Kev. One of the best English Ford ever, they look so right. Just needed teardrops maybe !
I was looking on E Bay today ;)
Grey (and pink) Capri UHM 585 was mine for a while,
Built by Roy Pitter.
Best modified car I have ever owned, don't know why but I sold it, to a northern monkey who wrote it off a month later.
Loads of Classic/Capri pics but no scanner at the moment
Kev, I really didn't appreciate how much work had gone into the front end of your Capri.
Look for yourselves.

I used a top trim for the lower parts and remade all the sheet steel to mirror the top. Headlight surrounds made from ali sheet from that well known kustom shop ,B&Q . Side light pods were handmade to enable the larger lucas style lights to be fitted. Front bumper is Vauxhall, can't remember if it was Viva HC or Fe Victor with Moon bullet welded to it.In this picture it uses a floating grille made from shower tube with aftermarket bullet accesory ends.
Your car in its old guise in the background Mike.
I and a friend were talking to you at Mersea Madness i think. I could not believe all the changes you made to it. Would have like to see it with a carson top Kev.
Neither could I ! LOL Although I knew what I wanted the finished article to look like it was a sort of natural progression of making it all work together. This thread is seriously making me think about another one.
Here are some pics of my Capri. If anybody recognises or has any info on my car from the past, I would like to here from you, as i have only owned my Capri for a year.
