Capri 3000GT XLR
What is your favourite car of all time?
The Capri 3000 GT was the ultimate expression of the early Capri range with its 2,994cc Kent V6 engine and a version that truly justified the Capri's sporty appearance. In common with all GT models, the 3000GT had servo brakes, radial tyres, wood trimmed centre console, a full array of sports gauges, close-ratio gearbox, twin speed wipers and a passenger vanity mirror. The original 3000GT was capable of 113mph and 0-60mph in 9+ seconds, but by October 1971 the 3000GT and 3000E models were delivering a 122mph top end, and 0-60mph in around 8 seconds. Of the pre-facelift MkI Capris, only the 3-litre models were adorned with the popular bonnet power bulge, which time would see spread to the entire Capri range. Visible on the 3000GT XLR is a sub-gloss black bonnet, grille and sills, courtesy of the R Custom Plan, with attractive sports wheels standard on this particular version.
