1980 Ford Capri Mk3 1.6L – original SOLD

REDUCED !! WAS £5000 NOW £4600 Don't miss out !

Original and Only 65, 000 genuine miles! MOT valid until June 2016, the last one had No advisories.

I bought it as a reliable and stylish commuter vehicle as I’m a classic car enthusiast. I haven’t seen another Capri on the road for 4 months ! so they are getting rare and collectable. This is classic car ownership at its best, reliable for those classic car meets at Goodwood and spacious enough for the whole family. I’ve had a 944 and Sylva Stylus kit car, loved all three but this gets the most attention by far.

I bought the best I could afford for long term ownership as I needed it to be reliable for work and planned to subtly modify it with Corbeau seats, Momo steering wheel, Ronal Kleeblatt alloys (for sale separately). However I have come to realise that it’s just too good to be putting on the miles and it’s so original I can’t bring myself to modify it. So it’s reluctantly up for sale.

Any inspection welcome and very confident the first to see will buy at this price. Mileage verified by old VOSA mot’s and I’ve organised a folder of history and receipts totalling over £8k. New Pirelli P3000 tyres fitted on 26/ 03/ 2013 at approx 62, 300 miles. Re conditioned engine costing £2000 and professionally installed on 23/ 07/ 2012 at approx 62, 200 miles, so under 3k miles since. As you would expect, no smoke, no unexpected noises and not one drip on my driveway (the only classic I’ve had that hasn’t leaked).
Original key, Original owner’s manual, Original Ford sales catalogue from Sept 1980 and cheap classic car insurance. The Original carpet has been cleaned and I can’t see a mark on it. Reconditioned Ford Rostyle wheels with re-chromed trim rings. The previous owner Sorn’ed the vehicle over the winter and kept it garaged for 8 years. Lots of new parts, too many to list.

This has been a CHERISHED vehicle by me and previous owners. The previous owner had this to say “bought from a very affluent guy in Sheffield who had bought it as a present for his 17 year old, who hardly used it and then quickly replaced it with a Focus RS. He then left it garaged with his brothers Mini Cooper and dad's Aston Martin!”

Included in the sale is a brand new powder coated cross member with mountings, the Original Ford air filter cover and a new unused Ford inlet manifold. Rare rear wiper model apparently. This is a Private sale and the V5 is in my name at my address. I am happy to answer any questions or send more images on request. email is usually the best form of communication as I have a family and can’t always get to the phone in time. This is a FAST appreciating classic car. I already have a replacement vehicle so I’m looking for a quick sale. You will not be disappointed, don’t miss this opportunity.

Additional info : 
Rear seats : A couple of small tears in fabric (see images)

Engine : Fantastic. If I’m being a perfectionist, I’ve had two issues where the engine stuttered/ hesitated but both times its gone straight to my garage for inspection. I have receipts for cleaned out carb and adjust, timing and mixture / replaced points and condenser.
Brakes : Fronts discs are slightly warped and could do with replacing at some point. Cheap and easy job.
Body : Overall excellent. One small area on o/ s rear wheel arc.
Chassis : Small patch underneath o/ s rear needs re-attention at some point, can supply photo on request.
Bumper : Front bumper has some flaky paint (see images)
Electrics : Everything all working as it should. The original radio works, however I’ve not managed to get a cassette tape to work, maybe it just doesn’t like my taste in music.
