The Appeal
Many fast Ford fanatics consider the 2.8i Special the Capri to have. With a five-speed gearbox, limited-slip differential, and uprated brakes, it is a British motoring institution. A habitual star of UK prime-time dramas like Minder and The Professionals, the Capri remains supremely popular to this day.
This 1985 example has just 68,000 miles on the clock, which we're informed is an accurate figure. Having been carefully preserved in a dry garage during its early years and driven very sparingly, its originality remains remarkably well intact, with no aftermarket modifications such as non-standard wheels or body kits. The Capri even retains its original Ford radio!
With a fair service history, including several old MOTs and original Ford Capri books, this vehicle offers a genuine slice of 1980s motoring nostalgia. Its current MOT is valid until 16th November 2024.Capri-002.jpg1.44 MB
