Description
This well known white and red Ford Capri RS 3100 Group 2 was originally built in 2013 to the maximum specifications by Ric Wood for his own use.
He successfully raced the car himself in 2013 and 2014, between 2015 to 2016 it was raced by Richard Meaden and Grant Tromans and since 2017 by Richard Meaden and Gerard Lopez.
Since 2013 this is the most successful Capri ever raced in Motor Racing Legends and Peter Auto’s HTC. Between 2015 and 2018, though it was sparely entered in HTC, the car won almost every time.
These Capris are very powerful cars with their 3,4 liter GAA engine delivering 430 HP, mated to an excellent ZF gearbox and a fine chassis. Very predictable and pretty easy touring cars, extremely fast, they are amongst the most rewarding race cars to drive.
Most of the Capris performance comes from their weight, with close to 1000kg the Capris are almost 150 kg lighter than the CSLs.
Compared to a CSL this is also a much cheaper car to maintain and the engine rebuilding cost is very reasonable.
The car is completely serviced and has 2 hours on its engine and gearbox, its overall condition is fantastic with all the safety devices & FIA HTP up to date. Since 2013 it was constantly upgraded and a lot of work has been done to improve its reliability, which has always been the weak point of these cars. A spares package including 2 sets of rims comes with the car.
It could hardly be a better winner available, this is a very unique opportunity to acquire a proven and « ready to win » car.
