The Appeal
Perhaps it’s because it was the car we always promised ourselves, or maybe it was Bodie and Doyle tail sliding through boxes on TV? Whatever it was, Britain took the Capri to its heart and for several years after production stopped elsewhere, we still got the blue collar coupé.
And what a car we got. The final 2.8 Injection Special was one of the best versions from the Capri’s long history. Equipped with a LSD and of course that torquey, burbly 150bhp Cologne V6, this was a Capri worthy of its figure-hugging Recaro interior.
This 1986 example demonstrates why these cars are so revered. In excellent, very original condition, it leans into the car’s GT nature with an automatic gearbox. A long MOT provides independent reassurance that this is a great example worthy of your attention.
