Description

DJA 855T is a sensationally built, superbly presented example of the Ford Capri MKIII, uniquely enhanced with a thrilling V8 heart and a commanding wide body. An imposing and beautifully executed build, this fastback combines the iconic silhouette of Britain's favourite sports coupé with the muscular soundtrack and performance of a 3. 5L Rover engine. Presenting in first-class condition throughout, the vehicle shows an exceptionally high-quality restoration that prioritised meticulous attention to detail.

Lift the bonnet and you are greeted by a beautifully finished, show-worthy engine bay housing the legendary Rover 3. 5-litre V8 engine. Delivering a deep, unmistakable exhaust note, the V8 transforms the Capri’s driving dynamics, offering effortless torque and an incredibly engaging power delivery. This potent unit is mated to a highly desirable and robust 5-speed BorgWarner T5 manual gearbox, ensuring precise gear changes and effortless high-speed cruising. The level of craftsmanship extends seamlessly into the cabin, which has been beautifully trimmed with premium Recaro leather seats both front and rear, offering exceptional comfort and support.

From the immaculate engine bay to the pristine interior, this brilliantly executed Capri V8 represents a rare opportunity to own a uniquely engineered, fastidiously finished classic fast Ford that is ready to be shown, driven, and thoroughly enjoyed.
