made. The show is called Food Fight Club on Channel 4 and stars Oliver and his friend Jimmy Doherty driving around continental Europe cooking British food. 

The show partially takes place in front of an audience at a cafe in Southend Pier, Essex, and partially around Europe. 

Oliver and Doherty chose the Capri because it was the car that they both aspired to own when they were young.

Ford loaned the car to the show, and it is the final Ford Capri ever made on December 19 1986. It was part of the "280" limited edition of 1,038 units. They all had a 2.8-liter V6 with 158hp and 163lb-ft of torque and a five-speed manual transmission. They accelerated to 100km/h in 8.1 seconds. All of the cars were painted Brooklands Green and had a limited-slip differential, leather Recaro seats, 15in wheels.
