The old girl still manages about 90Mph in 3rd gear and 115 flat out in 4th, not bad for a 48 year old engine with unknown but high mileage.
Considering the factory claimed figures are 100Mph in 3rd and around 124Mph flat out in 4th.
If Capri's weren't so rotten over here, I'd love to shove a Duratec V6 out of an S-Type with the ZF5HP autobox in one.
