I upgraded my Ford Capri’s ‘ugly cardboard’ door feature with nifty gadget… & voila – it looks like a swish new ride


A DRIVER upgraded their Ford Capri’s ‘ugly cardboard’ door feature with a gadget and it now looks like a swish new ride.

The expert decided to replace the old speakers in his Capri because they looked like “cardboard.”

After TikToker, davesgoneinsane, fitted the brand new Sony speakers, he announced “Voila” as they belted out Walk This Way by Aerosmith.

TikTok users singled out the new speakers for praise. One said: “I have those Sonys in my door. They are not too bad for the price.”

Another user said the old speakers did not just look like cardboard. He said: “They are actual cardboard. Stock speakers are made so cheap.”

An extremely rare and “well maintained” Ford Capri Turbo that’s just one of 200 ever made has hit auction.

The variant was produced in a limited run in the early ’80s just a few years before manufacturing of the model shut down altogether.

This particular motor was sold new in Switzerland and remained there until it was sold to a Danish petrolhead.

It was one of the last Turbo versions of the iconic model to be produced, rolling off the factory line in 1982.

The single-turbocharged 2.8-litre V6 engine putting out a top speed of 137mph is what sets it apart from the standard Capri, which generally used an inline-four configuration.

A gleaming three litre Ford Capri which was kept locked up for nearly 45 years is now up for auction.

The midnight blue beauty is now on the market after being kept in dry storage for decades.

The Ford Capri 3.0L V6 Ghia 1978 has clocked up just 45500 since she was registered in 1978, when James Callaghan was Prime Minister.

The new owner will be roaring around country lanes powered by the Ford’s famous three litre engine.

This was the car that was made famous in The Professionals and Minder, when thousands of ordinary blokes dreamed of roaring off in their own Capri.

The advert reads: “Engine is smooth and powerful once fired, has had fresh oil but needs the carburetor cleaned.”

A Ford Capri that sat in a “slightly fallen down garage” for 40 years has been put up for sale.

The stunning classic is in a “bad way” but only has 30,000 miles on the clock.

The barn find has been listed on eBay with photos showing the extent of the decay.

Parts of the bodywork are rusted heavily, while others have suffered dents and dings.

The bonnet is currently detached, leaving the engine bay open and revealing more dust and dirt.
