Capri 280 Brooklands
What is your favourite car of all time?
The final chapter in the Capri's history, and a fitting end was the Brooklands 280, of which only 1038 were produced as late as December 1986. Basically a 2.8i with special Brooklands Green metallic paintwork, the 152bhp Capri was undeniably attractive with its unique red and white coachlining and enormous 7J 15inch 7-spoke allooy wheels with road hugging 195/50 VR15 Pirellis, Trimed copiously in raven leather hide and with every extra one could possibly want, the Capri 280 could be nothing other than an instant classic, a dignified end to the Capri story, which spanned 18 years, and linked itself with such illustrious names as Jackie Stewart and Emerson Fittipaldi. Culminating 1.9 million examples, and loved by people worldwide, it really was "the car you always promised yourself".
