Not all the great fast Fords are mad money; at least not the less-than-perfect ones...
Shed once owned a 3.0-litre Mk1 Capri, a red one with a black vinyl roof. Unfortunately, a slippery mate of his borrowed it and parked it under a tree which decided that it would like to have a nice lie down on top of it. While he pretended to be upset about his Capri’s death, mainly for recompense purposes, Shed actually wasn’t that bothered about it. The car was a rolling wreck and he couldn’t be bothered to do anything about it. Plus he never really got on with the driving experience.
Our Shed comes from the back end of the Mk3 Mondeo run. It’s only done 104,000 miles, which is not a lot for an 18-year-old car, and the pictures back up the seller’s description of the black bodywork as ‘clean’. The cream leather is in the sort of shape you’d expect from a low-miler and, through the grime on Shed’s Amstrad screen anyway, the iconic 18-inch wheels appear to be in equally good nick.
When they’re running well though these engines sound great, especially with a Milltek or similar aftermarket exhaust fitted. They go pretty well too, pipe or no pipe, but don’t expect to get anywhere near 28mpg if you’re putting plenty down on a regular basis.
