1985 Ford Capri MkIII 2.8i Coup For Sale by Auction
Odometer reading: 28, 441 MoT expiry date: no MoT
- Two owners from new
- Present owner for 34 years
- Kept garaged and rust-free
- Recently re-commissioned
Inspired by the success of the Mustang in the USA, Ford introduced the Capri to the European market in 1968. The Capri's imaginative fastback styling was a relatively new departure for the 'Blue Oval', but beneath the skin the car remained typically Ford, sharing engines, gearboxes, and many other components with the rest of the range. The first major revision arrived in 1974 in the form of the MkII, which benefited from a more practical hatchback body restyled along cleaner lines. The old V4 engines were dropped, the MkII options being 1. 3 and 1. 6-litre pushrod fours; 1. 6 and 2. 0-litre overhead-cam fours; and the 3. 0-litre pushrod V6. Built from 1979 to 1987, the final (MkIII) Capri featured a new quad-headlight front end with chin spoiler: wide rubbing strakes on the flanks; and black external 'brightwork'.
This Capri MkIII has the fuel-injected 2. 8-litre V6 engine that replaced the old 3. 0-litre unit in 1981. 'B858 XKX' has had had only two owners from new: the current for 34 years during which time it covered only 15, 000 miles. Kept garaged, the Capri is said to be rust-free and very original, with none of the common corrosion or dashboard deterioration issues. Unused for the last 20 years, it has recently been re-commissioned and comes with some service history.
