Limited-edition end-of-line Ford Capri with low mileage goes up for auction after being stored for 23 years
A LIMITED edition end of the line Ford Capri with low mileage is up for auction after being stored for 23 years.
The iconic motor, first registered in 1987, has just 21,970 miles on the odometer.
The Capri, now lovingly restored, was tucked away for 23 years in dry storage.
Powered by a 2.8-litre Cologne V6, the ultimate blokes’ motor is finished off in a glorious shade of Brooklands Green.
Inside, it has a sunroof, a Quartz analogue clock, and a Ford cassette stereo ready to play some sounds of the 80s.
A tracker is installed, as well as a Clifford Blackjack alarm, to keep the baddies away.
The motor comes with the owner’s manuals and service book, a boot-mounted spare wheel, a second spare wheel and five spare tyres.
The most recent MOT test was on 27 May at 21,959 miles, which resulted in a first-time pass with no advisories.
The Capri was a mass production sports car pitched towards average blokes with a few quid to spend on a decent car.
The motor was made famous in 70s television series The Professionals, and then in The Minder.
Another Ford Capri from the 1980s with an even lower mileage recently went up for sale at auction.
Experts say the stunning 1984 2.0 S had a “new feel to it” as the car boasts just 1,938 miles on the clock – after its original owner hated it so much that he refused to use it.
