Description
An extremely rare NOS Capri 2. 8 shell complete with genuine bonnet, doors, boot, sunroof panel, all New Old Stock.
I have owned this since c. 2017 and has been in dry storage under cover ever since. It enjoyed similar care by the previous owner who bought it himself from Ford new in the 80s.
Thoroughly waxoyled when first put into storage in 1987/ 88, it's a bit of an eye roll statement but must be said, where you see brown that you may think is rust... it's waxoyl.
The new genuine Ford panels were added to the assembly in the early 90's in the original cathodised black coating. I have had them acid dipped and primed in 2pk primer and thoroughly waxoyled inside in 2019.
My intentions was to build a 2. 8i Special, however for years I toyed over this plan as to whether it would be a shame to actually build the shell or not, priorities have changed drastically and will therefore leave that decision to the next owner. It would be ideal for a 280 Brooklands.
The last photo shows the only damage done, a score in the primer on the NS front (last photo).
The registration in the listing is not associated with the shell as it is unregistered. Car & Classic requires a registration number so it is of a 2. 8i Special that I used to own.
Don't hesitate to ask any questions. I am willing to help and offer any more information/ photos required.
