1984 Ford Capri 2.8 Injection Special

The Capri Mk III was substantial update of the Capri II. It featured enhanced aerodynamics that led to improved performance and better economy and included the now trademark quad headlamps.In 1981, Ford's faithful 3.0 Litre V6 was dropped from the line-up, making way for a new, sporty, version called the 2.8 Injection. The Capri 2.8 Injection revived the range and kept the car in production several years longer than Ford had originally planned.In 1984 The 2.8 injection model was the subject of a substantial upgrade and was known as the Capri Injection Special. This development used Recaro half leather seats and included a limited slip differential. Externally the car could be easily distinguished by the seven spoke RS wheels and its colour coded grille and headlamp surrounds.

This is an early example of the 2.8 Injection 'Special' Edition, featuring the Recaro seats and limited slip differential. The car is presented in lovely original condition with only several minior body imperfections however the car is a lovely, very useable show car. To insure its longevity recent work includes a reconditioned starter motor and new rear wheel bearings along with the fit ment of a new exhust system.

The car is in excellent mechanical order and reportedly drives well and is very reliable, so much so the vendor will be driving it up from Cornwall to the CarFest.A great example of a car that is fast becoming a sought after classic.
