The Ford Capri was the Ford Mustang of Europe. A mind boggling array of options meant that the Capri could be whatever you wanted it to be; just like the Mustang. The Capri was, in fact, a far more varied animal than the Mustang with engines ranging from 1300cc to 3100cc as well as a myriad of trim specifications. The Capri was released to the press on 24th January 1969 at the Brussels Motor Show and caused a sensation. For the 1982 model year, a new sporty version debuted at the Geneva Motor Show called the 2.8 Injection. Power rose to a claimed 160bhp giving a top speed of 130mph.
Registered new on 18th October 1981, this very well-presented example is offered in black coachwork over a tartan interior. The coachwork is in good condition with very few blemishes and the period tartan interior is also presented very well. Purchased new in Nottingham, this Capri comes with a history file detailing various sundry invoices, old MoT test certificates and the current V5C registration document. With a new MoT until August 2025 and recently serviced we are informed this desirable and iconic 2.8i is ready to be enjoyed. Consigned by Mathew Priddy.
