1980 Ford Capri 3.0s main dealer+ 1 owner for recommissionin For Sale

I have half a dozen Fords from my own collection i am listing but will only sell 2 or maybe 3 at a push, once i have sold 2/ 3 i will be withdrawing the rest from sale so if this is one you want dont dwell.
Ford Capri 3. 0 S manual. finished in white with correct carla interior, just out of dry storage where it has been since August 2005, a two owner car, first registered owner was a main dealer in Luton who had the car from 08/ 05/ 1980 to 12/ 09/ 1981, it was then sold to the second and last owner who bought it for his wife, she had the s striped removed when she first got it, and used the car as her daily driver up to the time it was put into their garage and left until very recently due to her ill health, the engine has been re-commissioned and it starts and runs well apart from auto choke playing up in cold weather, it has had the wheels refurbished and fitted with new tyres all round (five).

The bodywork is not in bad condition all things considered, and the car is very original, the drivers front wing has a small area of rust at the top near the windscreen, the bonnet is all good, the drivers door is pretty good with only a small bubble under the paint at the front lower section, the drivers side rear wing is ok with rust starting to come through on the wheel arch the back panel is good as is the tailgate there is evidence of the tailgate having been painted some time in the past, the boot floor is good, the rear bumper although free of any damage requires the surface rust cleaning off and repainting the plastic bumper corners are good, now to the passenger side, front wing is good, passenger door just a couple of bubbles under the paint at the leading edge, the rear quarter is probably the worst bit on the car the wheel arch has rust in it and in my opinion needs a repair section fitting to bring it back, front panel/ valance and grill good front bumper again a good clean and some fresh paint no dents.

walking around the car and studying it carefully it's remarkably un molested and original , it has a new battery but the brakes are sticking though you can move it and the exhaust is blowing.

Under the bonnet the engine looks typical of a car from long term dry storage need's a good clean and some paintwork to smarten it up, both strut tops are a bit nasty although reasonably solid I would suggest a bit of plating and welding required.

The interior requires some attention the cloth on the drivers seat is badly damaged as it is also on the top of the rear seat bolster, the dash has two cracks on the top but quite good for a capri.

This is a good project for a Capri enthusiast, I don't think it would take much to get it through an M. O. T. from what I've seen, and it could easily be done as a rolling restoration by that I mean use it as you do it, considering how Fords of this era used to rust badly this example has escaped that to a large degree, the value of Ford Capris has risen sharply in recent years, and this example with its two owner history in the right hands would make a very good example indeed, which would give it a high value and make it a rock solid investment for the future. 81000 miles.

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 ...
