SUMMARY
From long-term storage and recently recommissioned, this smart Mk III, 2.8-Litre injection has covered just over 23,000 miles.
DESCRIPTION
- For the 1982 model year, a new sporty version of the Capri debuted at the Geneva Motor Show called the 2.8 Injection. Power rose to a claimed 160bhp giving a top speed of 130mph and a five-speed gearbox arrived
- Along with the new engine, Ford improved the MkIII Capri further by replacing the now tired chequered interior with more luxurious velour covered Recaros, and SVE reworked the Wolfrace Sonic wheels to become the now affectionately known 13" 'Pepperpots'
- This Diamond White example was first registered on 01/08/1983 and has just 23,056 miles indicated
- Having spent some time in long-term storage, it's just been freshly recommissioned
- Full brake overhaul with new discs, cylinders, calipers, pads and shoes
- The current MOT is valid until March 2024
