The Appeal

The Capri 2.8 Injection Special was the swansong of one of Britain's most beloved sporting coupés. Powered by the venerable Cologne V6 and equipped with the desirable five-speed manual gearbox, the 2.8i Special unsurprisingly became one of the most collectable Capri variants.

This 1987 example has benefited from considerable recent investment by its previous enthusiast owner and has been recently serviced and tuned by a classic car garage. The paintwork presents well with only minor age-related blemishes, and the freshly refurbished wheels complement the car's overall appearance. With an MOT valid until December 2027, this Capri appears to be a well-sorted example ready to be driven and enjoyed.
