Description

1976 Ford Capri 3.0-Ghia

Manual example with just 56,000 miles on the clock; two owners from new, the last for 31 years; recent vinyl roof and headlining

The first owner of this top-spec Ghia 3.0-litre manual Capri lived in Paignton, Devon and owned the car until 1991 at which time it came into the hands of our vendor - its second owner.

He has hardly used it and can confirm that the mileage is genuine, as supported by the general condition of the car. An old MOT on file shows it has covered just 664 miles since 1999!

The vinyl roof and seats were starting to show their age, so earlier this year, Cliff Griffiths (the man off the telly) did a superb job fitting a new Tobaco vinyl roof supplied by East Kent Trim supplies, added a fresh headling and replaced the facings on the seats with Ford Beta cloth - all supplied by Aldridge Trimming.

The bodywork was stripped and resprayed a while ago, but sufficiently long enough to have mellowed nicely and it has had a more recent new coil and genuine new Weber 38DGAS carburettor from Eurocarb.
 
Last MOTd in 2014, it is rare to find in its condition and spec, this must be better than money in the bank....
