From November 1984 onwards, the Capri was sold in the UK exclusively, with only right hand drive cars being built from that date. Ford were naturally keen to sell their remaining stock, so the normally-aspirated 1. 6 and 2. 0-litre variants were rebranded with a new trim level, "Laser", which featured a six-gauge dashboard, tinted glass, a tailgate-mounted spoiler, leather-trimmed gear lever/ steering wheel, body-coloured grille/ door mirrors, RS alloys, unique graphics, black-painted bumpers and Truro cloth upholstery.
Finished in Black with a grey interior, this amazing survivor has had just three owners from new, with two in 38 years. A 2. 0 litre Laser model, supplied on 3rd September 1986 by Ford main dealer Douglas Seaton of Yeovil, the Capri was initially registered to the company of K. D. Scott and Partners of Reading, who only one month later passed title to a Mr. and Mrs. Collins of Yeovil. The Collins family kept the Capri for a further 18 years before ownership changed to our current vendor in 2004, at 35, 000 miles.
Our vendor, upon viewing such an original and unmolested example, quickly paid the full asking price and took it home, placing the Capri in dry storage until now. The Ford is completely original and unmodified, even down to the period correct radio-cassette player. We understand the car has never been restored, and is believed to wear its original coat of factory black paintwork.
Included are the original owner’s manual, dealer supplements and warranty document, older registration document from the second owner, a stamped service book to confirm the mileage, and service recipes from the period 1993 to 2004. All in all this is a unique opportunity for the Ford enthusiast, and one not to be missed.
This classic will be sold at auction with Dore & Rees at the Auction Salerooms on Vicarage Street in Frome, Somerset, on Saturday 18th June. For more details contact the Motoring Department via the above details.
