SUMMARY
A fully restored Injection Special finished in very stylish Midnight Blue and offered at a sensible guide.
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 at a cost of over £17,000 completed at S.M Classic Cars, Doncaster in 2020 and the car has barely covered 1,000 miles since
- Superbly presented in Ford Midnight Blue with the original Recaro grey and black half-leather interior
- Although fully restored, the vehicle still retains its distinctive original features such as the quartz analogue clock and Ford cassette stereo
- Supplied with previous invoices, restoration invoices and numerous photographs, Capri magazines, spare wheel and parts
- Take a look at the photographs to see just how much work has gone into this Capri. Look at that underside!
