The Ford Capri was the Ford Mustang of Europe. A mind boggling
array of options meant that the Capri could be whatever you wanted
it to be; just like the Mustang. The Capri was. in fact. a far more
varied animal than the Mustang with engines ranging from 1300cc to
3100cc as well as a myriad of trim specifications. The most popular
engine was the 1600cc unit but the object of most desire. was the
three litre. The Capri was released to the press on 24th January. br/>1969 at the Brussels Motor Show. There had previously been a press
preview in Cyprus but Ford had requested that nothing about the new
car be published until 24th January to coincide with the motor
show. Surprisingly. this request was honoured and the Capri caused
a sensation.

Supplied new by Currie Motors. Kingston on the first day of
X-registration. this 2. 8i is one of the very earliest surviving
examples with the sought after four-speed gearbox and the very
early two-tone black/grey facia and black headlining. distinctive
Carla plaid Recaro seats and the iconic pepper-pot alloy
wheels. It is also finished in what is considered to be the most
desirable colour scheme. two-tone Forest Green over Crystal Green.
Since 2001. the previous owner displayed the car on the classic car
circuit until it was purchased by a private collector. This is a
lovely example having benefitted from only mild restoration. and it
is largely standard apart from a quality stainless-steel exhaust.
The car sports an amazingly well presented interior. a top-tint
windscreen. a face-off stereo and a hidden immobiliser switch. The
car drives and sounds wonderfully well and the alloy wheels have
been nicely refurbished. a V6. 160bhp engine. the 2. 8i
was capable of 0-60mph in 7. 8 seconds. It has latterly been
maintained by acknowledged Capri specialists 'Tickover'. These
early four-speed cars are now the most sought after Capri's after
the later Brooklands model and their build quality was notably
better than the later cars. It is supplied with a V5C registration
document. an MoT which expires in February 2015. some previous
MoT's. and a DVLA supplied owner history.
