1984 Ford Capri 2. 8 Injection Special – Concours Condition – Fully Restored & photo documented
An exceptional example of the iconic Ford Capri 2. 8 Injection Special finished in nimbus grey over strato silver, presented in truly concours condition following a no-expense-spared restoration completed to the very highest standard.
The special features a limited slip differential and 5 speed gearbox, half leather recaro sport seats, 7 spoke 13” alloy wheels wrapped in period Dunlop sport tyres and colour coordinated mirrors, grille, headlamp bezels and genuine Ford driving lights
Being a 84’ model it’s the first of the specials and sneaks in just before side repeaters making it more desirable, additionally being 1984 the vehicle is now registered as historic vehicle and is tax exempt
This low mileage example has covered just 84, 000 original miles from new averaging just 2000 miles a year and has had only 3 owners in total, with the last owner retaining the car since 2005. Every aspect of the vehicle has been meticulously restored or refurbished with nothing left untouched. The condition throughout is simply outstanding — including underneath — and the car presents virtually as new.
The restoration was made simple as the vehicle was in exceptional condition after being in dry storage from 2009-2021
Importantly, the vehicle retains all of its original panels and is matching numbers, making it an incredibly rare and authentic example. Every part fitted is either brand new or professionally refurbished to an exceptional standard.
The history file accompanying the car is extensive and includes the original sales invoice. The first owner was an RAF pilot stationed in Germany, and the sale also includes the original British Forces Germany registration number, currently held on retention and included in the sale.
