1967 Mercury Comet Capri 289 - 4.7 V8 (3rd gen)

**Photos provided by the vendor**

Highlights

  • 289 V8 (4.7-litres)
  • Dutch registered
  • Fresh APK government test
  • Just 52,184 miles indicated

The Appeal

Following America’s fashion for huge (by European standards) saloons in the 60s, the third generation of the Comet grew in size from a small to a “mid-size” car. It offered a comfortable and spacious way to waft along the interstates, with a huge V8 offering an appropriately burbly soundtrack to proceedings.
This example has been recently restored and is presented in fine overall condition, with a factory specification interior and smart period paintwork.

The History and Paperwork

  • First built in July 1967
  • US import
  • Dutch registered
  • Fresh APK government test
  • Recently restored
  • Just 52,184 miles indicated (five figure odometer)

The Interior

  • Finished in factory correct half vinyl / half fabric ‘Aqua’ trim
  • Twin bench layout, with all the upholstery looking to be in excellent condition
  • Period lap belts are fitted to the front and rear benches 
  • Headlining looks good, with no sagging, staining or damage we could see
  • Dark grey carpets appear to be in good order
  • Retro radio/cassette player
  • Interior trim and brightwork appears to be all present and correct, and wears a healthy level of natural patination that hints at the vehicle’s age
  • The boot is vast, finished with a liner and carrying a full-size spare wheel

The Exterior

  • Correct ‘Aqua’ paintwork, recently refinished on a rotisserie
  • Overall the paint and bodywork shows well, with no notable damage, corrosion or marking to be seen
  • Black stripes run the length of the lower sides
  • The brightwork and badging shows well, with some light pitting and blemishing commensurate with the car’s age, which nicely adds to the vehicle’s character
  • The front windscreen features a period upper-tint in complementary green
  • Correct 14-inch period wheels are fitted, finished in a smart black and polished metal combination and shod with what appear to be new tyres
  • Underneath the bodywork looks to be in very good order, having been refinished and painted when the car was restored, we could see no damage or corrosion to the sills, floor pans or fuel tank

The Mechanics

  • 289ci (4.7-litre) V8, driving 200hp to the rear wheels
  • Under the ‘hood’, the engine bay looks clean and tidy, with no signs of leaks or overheating we could see
  • Underneath, there is a significant dent to the sump but it does not appear to be cracked as far as we could see
  • Three-speed automatic column shifter
  • We’re assured by the vendor that the car drives “perfectly”, with no mechanical issues to report

Summary

We never really got these large two-door saloons in Europe, so they remain a very rare sight on our roads, and are therefore perfect for anyone wanting a quirky, comfortable and characterful daily classic. 

Finished in a very smart specification and with a recent restoration, a V8-powered Comet Capri is not one to be missed.
