1987 Ford Capri 280 Brooklands For Sale

1987 Ford Capri 280 Brooklands (Build Number 596)
Brooklands Green.
MOT’d until 25th March 2022
Mileage: 115k
This car was bought by us from the chairman of our local Capri owners club in 2003 and has been to many a show over the years.
In 2015 we embarked on a restoration of the car which saw extensive repairs to the body shell, including new wings, door skins, floor panels and rails and a front valance. The strut tops were also replaced.
The car was at that time two different shades of Brooklands green (the first 500 built were a slightly different colour to the second, well done ford!) the car had has new wings at some point and the front part of the car painted afterwards; hence the front and back of the car were different shades - so a scan of the paint inside and outside the car was carried out and the correct colour found. The bodywork is now the correct colour and in excellent condition.
Engine and Running Gear: the car had the wrong rear axle on it when we bought it so a recon LSD unit was obtained via the Capri club this was cleaned painted and fitted.
the following were also fitted.
• New rear and front springs
• Water pump
• New radiator
• Coolant pipes replaced with black silicone pipes
• Capri Club rear disc conversion
• Front brakes upgraded to 4 pot callipers and larger discs (Capri Club Kit)
• New sender unit in the petrol tank and wiring updated.
• New fuse box fitted
• Burton power Fuel Injectors

The fuel system has recently been overhauled and the fuelling head refurbished.
The car has the original 280 wheels with RS centres fitted but we also have the ford centre caps which will come the car.
The exhaust system is a stainless-steel unit which gives the car a more raucous sound.
The dash was rewired, and the troublesome immobiliser removed

Bad points
The gearbox is noisy which will need refurbing or replacing at some point, it’s still functional though.
The engine would benefit from an overhaul.
The front seats need refurbishing, and the dash has the typical Capri dash cracks in it.
Fuel gauge needs replacing.
The car was fitted with an after market electric window kit which was rubbish, this has been removed and handles fitted, the intention was to fit OEM handles but they don’t seem to fit and I haven’t had the time to investigate why.
There’s a set of OEM winders that will come with the car.

The above work was carried out by two companies, the body work, suspension and axle fitting was done by Mercury Garage in Southbourne West Sussex and the other work carried out by Kinkell Classics just north of Inverness.
We’ve spent around 20K on the car so far but we’ve run out of time to complete her as we have to move south again and are downsizing so we don’t have anywhere to keep her otherwise we wouldn’t be selling her.
She is priced accordingly.

The car is in the Highlands of Scotland.

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 ...
