Description
Iconic 1980s Capri; showing just over 107,000 miles; older restoration
which presents well; Janspeed exhaust system fitted
First registered on 8th February 1985, this 2.8 Injection Special is
accompanied by a letter from Ford confirming its December 1984 build date.
Benefitting from an older restoration that continues to present well today, it
offers an appealing blend of originality and careful
improvement.
Showing just over 107,000 miles, the
car has recently received considerable expenditure, we are told this included
new suspension throughout, a full brake overhaul, fresh servicing with new oil
and filters, and the fitment of a stainless-steel Janspeed exhaust
system.
It also sits on attractive new 15in
280-style alloy wheels fitted with matching tyres. The engine bay presents
particularly well, while we are advised that, aside from a possible tappet
adjustment, the car runs and drives very nicely.
The interior is especially impressive, featuring professionally
refurbished half-leather seats, an uncracked dashboard, original radio cassette
player and even the period electric aerial. Two sets of original Ford keys
accompany the car, further underlining its well-preserved nature. The only known
fault reported is that the sunroof tilts correctly but does not
slide.
A substantial history file accompanies the
vehicle, including receipts, photographs, old V5 documentation, and the original
handbook pack complete with service book. Its most recent MOT, carried out in
June 2024 recorded no advisories.
Now registered
as a Historic Vehicle, the Capri benefits from MOT exemption, zero-rate road tax
and ULEZ exemption, making this an attractive and usable classic ready to be
enjoyed.
