INTERIOR & EQUIPMENT
The original interior can only be described as excellent, the sumptuous Recaro Raven Leather shows no signs of wear and the seat bolsters are perfect. The dash is perfect with no signs of cracking, every instrument and interior light works perfectly even the 2 stage heater fan and analogue clock. Carpets and original Ford mats are all excellent. The steering wheel is a genuine Ford RS leather 4 spoke wheel and is in excellent condition. The original parcel shelf is perfect it has never been cut for speakers, the door panels, headlining etc. all excellent and original. An period aftermarket stereo system has been fitted but the car comes with the original fit stereo and facia panel should you wish to put it back to standard. The factory fit slide/ tilt sunroof operates perfectly and is as new.
EXTERIOR
Fully repainted 10 years ago the paintwork has a mirror like finish showing no signs of micro blistering, cracks, rust or any other imperfections which is testament to how well the car was prepared prior to painting, original 280 decals were also refitted. The bumpers, original tinted glass, lights and unmarked boot spoiler etc are all in excellent order. Period upgraded front indicators and side repeaters have been fitted but I have the perfect originals should you wish to change back. All gaps and panel fit are as she left the factory, the underside is exceptionally clean and lightly waxoiled in key areas not caked on... Lovely
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
This Capri is fitted with the factory 7-spoke alloy wheels in flawless condition and with correct Ford badged centre caps. Branded 195/ 50/ 15 tyres have masses of tread remaining. The hydraulic dual-line servo-assisted brakes with ventilated front discs stop the car quickly and perfectly straight.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The original engine is in excellent order as you would expect given the mileage. Starts on the first turn of the key and sounds fantastic through the full Magnex stainless steel exhaust system. The gearbox operates with ease and is very smooth in every gear. The engine bay is exceptionally clean.
SUMMARY
This 280 Brooklands was first registered in the UK on 8th October 1987 and has had only 2 former keepers from new, a matching numbers car build number 757. The history file contains many past MOT's, invoices, receipts etc, original document wallet with operating hand book, radio handbook, original sales brochure and old magazines featuring the 280 Capri theres even a boxed Corgi die-cast model. This 280 is from my own private collection, I have owned it for just a little over 4 years now and bought it from a friend who owned it for 8 years prior to that hence I could not resist when he finally agreed to sell it to me.

MORE DETAILS
The Capri 280 "Brooklands". The last type of Capri available. After nearly twenty years of production Ford produced a final limited edition run of cars that were designed to mark the passing of the Capri with style. Originally badged as the "Capri 500" as 500 were planned for the production the name was changed to "Capri 280" and the production ran to 1038 examples. Whether it was a tribute to Henry Fords "you can have any colour you like as long as it is black" the Capri 280 was only available in Brooklands green - and the name of the paint has stuck with the car - most often refered to as a Brooklands than a Capri 280. Essentially this Capri was identical to the 2. 8 Injection Special but had larger 15 inch ally wheels (of the same design as the 2. 8i) and the interior was trimmed in full raven black leather with red piping for the seats. Destined to be an instant classic all these cars sold quickly and still change hands for more money than other Capris. On 19 December 1986 the last Capri was finished, the last of over 1. 92 million cars that you always promised yourself.
