Remarks
The Interior is very clean and in good condition. Original stereo has been replaced by a after market head unit but would look good with this being replaced with a period correct unit. There is some wear on the Driver seat bolster but the rest of the interior is in very good condition

Remarks
All Lights and electronic components in the car start and work every time. The speedometer is in need of attention, I believe it to be a cable issue
Vehicle History
Remarks
Fully stamped service schedule up to 2009 with just 1990 and 1994 missing with the vast majority of work done by just two or three garages. The V5C shows just two previous keepers which would tie in well with the consistent servicing destinations. A collection of old tax discs including one of the first in ‘88. Nice collection of original ford pamphlets and booklets which would have come with the car from new. Recent MOT document with only advisories on the front wheel bearings being noisy. This car has been in my possession since 2017 and I have loved each and every day owning it but it is time to say goodbye and give someone else the chance to own and experience this fantastic piece of Ford History.
Restoration Notes
This car was fully restored by S&M Classics and converted from a 1.6 4 Cylinder to a 3.0 litre Essex V6 from another Capri. During this process the Gearbox, Brakes and Fuel system was converted to match the change in engine.
