Description
The Prototype RS3100 built at AVO South Ockendon in 1972 pre-the production run of the 249 cars built in 1973
Ford used the car for the studio shots which in turn were used on the Single Sheet Sales Brochure and the Supplementary Handbook, the latter being supplied with all production cars.
Finished in Sebring Red (almost Orange) with a black vinyl interior and badged 'Capri GT'
Used by AVO until 1975 then registered on a 'P' plate with only 500 miles on the clock making it the only one in existence and the last RS3100 to be registered
Purchased by our vendor from AVO in April 1975 and owned by him ever since making it a one owner car. Supplied with the original bill of sale from AVO for £1, 500
The car differs from the production 249 in having fixed rear quarter windows, flat 3-spoke steering wheel and black rocker covers (production ones are blue). It has a unique chassis number BFECRK, the rest being BBECND-series.
KVV 648P was Ziebart treated in 1975 helping to keep it in its original unrestored condition having only had some small paint rectification
Stored on chassis stands from 1982 until 2022 at which point it was recommissioned but up until 1982 it was a daily driver covering 70, 700 miles from new
This fabulous Capri represents a once in a life time opportunity to own a very special piece of Ford's RS history
