SUMMARY
Emerging from long-term storage, this is a great opportunity to acquire a previously restored and well preserved Capri 2.8 Injection with an interesting story.
DESCRIPTION
- In 1982, Ford dropped the Capri's 3-litre V6 in favour of the all-new 2.8-litre injection Cologne V6, with a power output of 160bhp and a top speed of 130mph
- This example is finished in Signal Black with red and silver coach lines and sits on the correct SVE 13" Pepperpot alloys
- Acquired by our vendor around twelve years ago, this super Capri has a very interesting history
- Having purchased the car as something of a project, our vendor set about restoring it to a very high standard with all mechanicals and paintwork addressed
- Unfortunately, he was then hit with the surprising news that the car had been reported stolen, and the police became involved
- Having spent a serious amount of time and money on the car, a negotiation took place and the original owner supplied the full history file for the car to our vendor, its now legal owner
- Having been subject to considerable stress over a period of time, our vendor couldn't bring himself to drive the car, and so it has sat in storage ever since and visited occasionally
- Now offered for sale, he states that this is a serious quality car, solid and a great basis for somebody else to bring back to the road and it was just that 'interesting' history that prevented him from having the wish to do so
