SUMMARY
A rare 'Injection Special' that has been comprehensively restored.
DESCRIPTION
- An absolutely superb example of the penultimate Capri prior to the run-out 280 Brooklands
- Introduced in 1984, the Injection Special featured 7-spoke RS alloys, colour-coded grille/headlamp surrounds, limited-slip differential, uprated suspension and model-specific leather/cloth Recaros
- 2.8-litre, fuel-injected, Cologne V6 engine producing 160bhp mated to 5-speed manual gearbox
- Full nut and bolt restoration completed just two years ago, the car has barely done 1,000 miles since
- Superbly presented in Ford Midnight Blue with the original Recaro grey and black half-leather interior
- Take a look at the photographs to see just how much work has gone into this Capri. Look at that underside!
- With 280 Brooklands Capris now so expensive, the 2.8 Injection Special can't be far behind making this immaculate example appear very sensibly guided
