1973 Capri mk1 pre-facelift For Sale

SORRY BUT IN THE FIRST ADVERT I PLACED I FORGOT TO MENTION ONE THING ABOUT THIS CAR.

The recently completely rebuilt STD 302 V8 Engine in this car is a very rare original Basil Green engine that was removed from an original Basil Green Perana that was stripped for parts, Engine number BG0926, I have documents to confirm this.
This I feel is important information for collectors interested in this car.

Also since the add was placed had a few comments about the stripes along each side of the car, this can be removed if you wish.

The MK1 Capri Pre-Facelift is now becoming a rare find. The car was a barn find and was stored in South Africa for over 7 years. The body is very solid and is very tidy and in good condition.
This car was originally a V6 XL Auto but was converted to a V8 with very little alterations to the engine bay etc being a automatic before.

Since this car arrived in the UK I have done a considerable amount of work to bring it back to most of its originality.

The front and rear windscreen rubbers have been replaced, supplied by East Kent Auto Trimmers which represents the original.
Fitted original windscreen washers and water bottle. Mounted a Long Arm operating switch on the left side of the steering column.

With a lot of hunting I managed to find and fitted original front and rear bumpers, the rear bumper also came with the original chrome number plate light. Unfortunately still struggling to find Over Riders for the front bumper.
Had the headlight surrounds re-chromed, also managed to find and fit the original front grill.
Fitted new Capri Stainless Windscreen wipers.

Fitted 2nd hand door glass aluminium strips with new rubbers. When removing the door cards to fit the rubbers I noticed that the inside and bottom of these doors are absolutely rust free.
ALSO THE CAR COMING FROM A DRY CLIMATE, the only work needed on the underside, found a small part of the floor pans were slightly pitted, this was removed and repaired by a professional fabricator. The rest of the underside is rust free in good condition including the original seals etc.
At the same time I replaced the floor strengtheners brackets on both sides because it seemed they where used for the purpose of jacking the car over the years.

Not everyone’s choice in design but the seats and door cards were re-covered to a very high standard.
The Roof lining is still the original.

Fuse box has been replaced and moved to the inside of the car. The rest of the electrics have been checked by an Auto Electrician, all in working order.
All the brakes have been serviced.

The front roll bar and rear tramp rod bushes have been replaced. Also fitted new Control Arms and Steering Rack Ball Joints.
All the above work was carried out for a successful MOT.

THE CAR COMES WITH.
1. STD Road Use 302 V8 Engine COMPLETELY REBUILT by a leading V8 Specialist.
2. New 4 Barrel Holley 650 cfm.
3. Electronic Ignition.
4. High perfomance Coil.

Here is a chance to purchase a project that is quite unusual. Not only is this Ford Capri very solid, but it has also been 'fitted' with a later BMW V12. We're not entirely sure why someone decided to cram a V12 engine and auto gearbox into the front of this Capri, but it definitely makes for something just a little bit ...
