The Ford Capri is a fastback coupé built by Ford of Europe, designed by Philip T. Clark, who was also involved in the design of the Ford Mustang. It used the mechanical components from the Mk2 Ford Cortina and was intended as the European equivalent of the Ford Mustang. The Capri went on to be highly successful for Ford, selling nearly 1. 9 million units in its lifetime. A wide variety of engines were used in the car throughout its production lifespan, which included the Essex and Cologne V6 at the top of the range, while the Kent straight-four and Taunus V4 engines were used in lower-specification models.
At launch the existing engine and transmission combinations of the Capri II were carried over, with the 3. 0 S model regarded as the most desirable model although in Britain the softer, more luxurious Ghia derivative with automatic, rather than manual transmission, was the bigger seller of the two V6-engined models. In Germany, the "S" models were by far the most popular equipment level (across all engines), representing 63 percent of Capri sales there.
The Mk 111 was produced from 1978 to 1986.
Craner classics are offering this 1980 Mk 111 Ford Capri 3. 0 Ghia Automatic finished in black paintwork complemented with a red interior. The seat facings are finished in a red fabric with red vinyl door cars and seat backings along with a red interior. The car has the desirable sunroof and has front fog lamps fitted as well as a tow bar.
A video of the engine running is available upon request.
The car is being sold as a project car giving the opportunity for the new owner to improve the car to its former glory.
