New Ford ST Duratec 2.0l engine and alternator fitted
Sports exhaust fitted
Interior refurbished with ST seats
The Appeal
With a production run of almost 20 years, it’s no wonder that the Ford Capri is regarded as one of the UK’s all-time classics. Often touted as the European answer to the Mustang, a certain generation of enthusiasts will have, without fail, at least known somebody who drove one of these iconic motors. It was the golden age of the sports saloon, and these cars were undeniably at its heart.
This example has been upgraded with a new Ford ST Duratec 2.0l engine and alternator, while the interior has been refurbished with ST seats. The result is a compelling update of that oh-so-desirable formula, still loaded with retro character while offering better-than-factory performance and comfort for the lucky buyer. dd19c1eb-0f02-4974-b13a-81f36fc6343a.jpg2.02 MB
