Cherry, 1969 Mk1 Ford Capri

Cherry is a cherry-red 1969 Mk1 Ford Capri, a barn find that had been sat for years.

The question was the usual one: will it start? The whole revival went into one big video, done Bushtucker Trial style, and it’s one of the most watched on the channel. Cherry has since moved on, to a new home in Ireland.
