Mark Walker has owned numerous Capris but this 1981 Janspeed Turbo is undoubtedly the rarest. “My grandad had a Capri I loved and never forgot,” explains Mark. “When I started driving I’d buy a cheap Capri and after it failed the MoT they were so cheap and uneconomical to repair I’d sell it to Martin Pawson from Capri Gear and he’d break it for parts. I moved away for a while and when I returned decided I wanted a Capri to restore. I would’ve considered any Capri and Martin offered me a 2.0S or this 3.0S Janspeed. Martin told me the Janspeed was rare — he’d never seen another — but my concern was it could be too rare to restore easily. Then Martin mentioned it was Forest Green Metallic — my absolute favourite Capri colour — so I bought it for £2200 as a rolling shell containing boxes of bits.”
