Ford V8 Capri | Cars
The Ford Capri V8: A hairy-chested, muscle-bound brute in a European suit. It's like a British gangster with an American accent, a wolf in sheep's clothing, ready to pounce on unsuspecting straights and twisty roads. With its throaty V8 roar and a stance that says "don't mess with me," the Capri V8 is a classic example of European elegance meeting American muscle. It's a car that's equal parts sophistication and savage, a reminder that sometimes, the best way to travel is in style... and at high speed.

Had an absolutely amazing afternoon driving the Ford Capri V8 at the Abingdon site. The staff were superb, full of enthusiasm and very helpful. The drive instructor was very xtremeky knowledabke and friendly and was a “Capri” enthusiast and the car was so much fun to drive! Event was brilliantly run, would recommend this company to anyone for a great afternoon out!
TonyWent to Bicester to watch my son drive the "Furious" GTR, however couldn't pass up the opportunity to drive this myself. Admittedly I'm a Capri fan but this was great, encouraged by the instructor to put my foot down and what a great soundtrack. It's a 50+ year old car so no moden gadgetry and a manual shift but absolutely great fun. My tip would be to buy the additional miles to get the most out of the experience.
Ian StrangeFantastic drive at Abingdon in the Capri V8, it is a well sorted car for track use,sweet handling and very quick . If like me you remember the modified saloons and Group 2 racers in the 70s as a kid like the RS2600 Cologne Capris this is the nearest you can get to driving one but with even more power, what's not to love! My instructor was great, knowledgeable and helpful with enthusiasm for the car, what a superb day! CCH have another classic Winner!
