Description
Smart, later model 2.8 Injection Capri with tidy Recaro interior from
a 2.8 Injection Special; showing 69,835 miles; from local enthusiast
ownership
Dating from June 1983, this appealing
Ford Capri 2.8 Injection is a later MkIII example finished in two-tone blue over
grey and sits on 13” Pepper Pot alloy wheels set off by a neat red coachline on
the bodywork.
Under the bonnet, we find the
later 2.8 litre fuel-injected Cologne V6 engine which replaced the traditional
3.0 carb’d Essex version which was unable to keep up with ever more stringent
emmissions rules. Despite a lower
displacement, power was up to a claimed 160bhp driving the rear wheels via the
later five-speed manual gearbox.
Inside this
example we find the comfortable half-leather Recaro interior from a later 2.8
Injection Special variant (fitted in 2013), manual windows, sunroof,
heated rear screen and original radio/cassette player.
The
Capri shows 69,835 miles and presents well with a few minor blemishes as
pictured having been with our enthusiast vendor for the past couple of years
during which time he’s enjoyed it at some local events and car shows, the car
always drawing admiration.
The history file
includes the V5C showing eight former keepers, the owner’s pack with replacement
service booklet recording four stamps: in 2012 at 60,428 miles, 2013, 2014 and
most recently in 2016 at 64,753 miles all by Autostart of
Alnwick.
In addition, the file includes 10
old MOTs and a selection of bills for works undertaken and parts purchased
including a £1,047 spend in September 2022 on a service and replacement head
gasket at 69,155 miles by Canon Motors of Hereford which also included the last
MOT (now exempt) valid until September 2023 recording just one
advisory.
Ready to be enjoyed, this 2.8
injection looks most appealing at the guide price.
