SIMPLY FANTASTIC .

THIS IS THE LAST OWNERS COMMENTS TO US WHEN WE PURCHASED ..

Capri 2. 8i Restomod, owned by me for two thoroughly enjoyable years, only for sale for a new challenge.

I have covered less than a thousand miles in the two years as get my kicks from the fettling. The specification:

Originally a 1982 2. 8i, I purchased as a 2. 9i 24v Cosworth with Sierra Cosworth T5 gearbox but she was in need of some love.

So off to Top Boss for:
Extensive wiring and ensuring correct loom for the car as it is now, new ECU, Edis module, and alternator
Cooling fan upgrade - thermostatically controlled XR4x4 radiator with manual override. She's never overheated or even got particularly hot on me but would rather be safe than sorry
Reconditioned Borg Warner T5 Gearbox and new Clutch. The T5 is the perfect gearbox for this conversion and the old Type 9 5 speed would be overpowered by the 2. 9
Rocker cover gaskets.
The bills are thousands, I'm too scared to look but they are all in the folder. After the fettling she makes 223bhp

Braking:
Front: Uprated Calipers and discs new EBS pads on
Rear: New but standard 2. 8i shoes and drums
Upgraded larger diameter brake master cylinder from Tickover.

Suspension
On Tickover's advice I removed the tie bars and have poly bushed front and back with a good quality brand. Firm but comfortable and handles very well.

Differential
Helical Gear Limit Slip Differential

Tyres
Brand new (were put on 3 weeks ago) Toyo Proxes

In Car Entertainment
This is where I went a bit silly. I wanted to keep the correct stereo but MW/ LW not ideal in 2021 so off it went to Argenta and came back with FM and bluetooth modules installed. This was at the expense of the cassette deck internals but "bluetooth connected" coming from a 1982 stereo makes me smile every time, its the little things! Speakers upgraded to New Rockford Fosgate front and rear speakers but behind the original grills. No holes in the parcel shelf and nothing cut about. All installed by Top Boss.

Bodywork
The car had been painted before but it was not the original black. So I had her resprayed in the original panther black which is a metallic colour. The decals are in the same format as the original 2. 8 Injection but she is badged up as a 2. 9 Cosworth.

Interior
Is original and 30 years old. I have new front seat bolsters but never fitted as the current ones are by no means worn. All clocks and gauges are wired to work as they should.

Underneath - all very solid and there hasn't been a corrosion mention on an mot for 15 years. No doubt helped by the Ziebart that the first owner must have opted for.

History
There is a folder as pictured full of paperwork with receipts dating back to 1995 and MOT's back to 2006. The Capri Handbooks are also present.

THE ORIGINAL SERVICE BOOK IS ALSO IN THE FILE ....

Here is a chance to purchase a project that is quite unusual. Not only is this Ford Capri very solid, but it has also been 'fitted' with a later BMW V12. We're not entirely sure why someone decided to cram a V12 engine and auto gearbox into the front of this Capri, but it definitely makes for something just a little bit ...
