1987 Ford Capri 2.8i Special

Capri, the car you always promised yourself...This wonderfully presented 2.8i Special has had nearly £18,000 lavished on it to bring it up to this standard. It's only had two previous owners and is on an 'E' plate, relatively rare as production ceased during that year. The work commenced on the car after coming out of a two-year hibernation with a £2,000 bill (with the car) from Tickover of Dartford to deal with all the mechanical aspects necessary to put it back on the road. The next stage was to thoroughly sort the bodywork with new metal where required and then fit the dramatic Cartel body kit and a serious Cosworth spoiler. It was then treated to enough coats of black paint to produce the sort of deep glossy shine you see here and finished off with a set of Brooklands alloy wheels. The interior has been completely retrimmed in Cream Leather with perforated Black Leather highlights and this work was carried out by Frank Dale, the Rolls-Royce specialist and coachbuilder, to an amazing standard. This is an extensively and expensively restored Capri with a distinctive 'look' that is sure to turn heads wherever it goes.
