It's like NEW! Barn Find 1 owner survivor car with 15,000 miles. Not driven in 30 years. With Ford controversially releasing a new Capri model bearing no resemblance to its 'European Mustang' original, fans of FoMoCo still hold the coupe icon as one of the best British cars. In this episode, then, Jonny Smith is near Edinburgh to meet an owner who bought one of the last Capris (2.8 injection Special), covered what is an average annual mileage in today's world, and then never sold it. The car has not been on the road since the early 1990s. Will it run? Watch and see.
