INTRODUCTION

CAPRI WORLD:

INTRODUCTION

WORDS: PAUL WILSHAW

Capri World is a Facebook group

founded in 2013 by Paul Wilshaw,

who is a long-standing Capri

enthusiast. “I wanted to create

an easily accessible social media

platform for owners, enthusiasts and fans of the

Capri which would supplement the then-existing

internet forums.”

MODELS COVERED?

We cover all the Capri models from 1969

through to the last of the Mk3, the 280, in 1987.

There is no exclusion. Standard, modified, projects

we have them all.

WHAT DOES CAPRI WORLD OFFER

TO MEMBERS?

We are a non-profit group run by a small group

of enthusiasts. The group aims to develop and

build a friendly network of like-minded members,

to share the experience of ownership, mechanical

support and knowledge. Parts sourcing and of

course, photos of members Capris’. The group

has been nominated twice in a National Classic Car

Club Awards.

We have added several automotive business

partners to our network which offer exclusive

member discounts including Insurance providers,

parts suppliers and restoration companies. We

have our own range of merchandise which includes

a clothing range, club decals and badges. Capri

World special Capri 50th anniversary decals have

been a real success with all proceeds going to the

St David’s Foundation Hospice. This was nominated

by one of the admin team, Ian Evans.

MEMBERSHIP:

The growth of the group has been phenomenal,

at the moment we have over 25,000 members in

the group, which is growing all the time. Members

are predominately UK based but, we have a

worldwide following. The group has members

in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, South

America, USA and Europe all united by a passion

for the Capri.

Due to the success of Capri World, we have

also developed sister groups, including Classic

and Retro Ford World and Capri World Business

Services. We also have Capri World (North America)

covering the Federal Capris as well as a show and

event page.

SHOWS/EVENTS/MEETS:

We have hosted several charity meets and

get-togethers to raise funds for various causes,

including Birmingham Children’s Hospital, with

more in the pipeline. Planning is underway for

our fourth Capri World RAF Cosford Run in August

2020.

Our members are very active in various local

Capri clubs and attend events throughout the show

season. 2019 was extremely busy as we celebrated

the Capris’ 50th anniversary. n
