FORD CAPRI 3.0S MK111 BLACK SVO STUNNING 81 X REG ALL MOT'S LOADS OF HISTORY

A VERY RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A STUNNING FORD CAPRI M111 3. 0S
1981 X REG
ORIGINAL 4 SPEED MANUAL
SVO FACTORY BLACK (SPECIAL ORDER-VERY RARE)
JUST UNDERGONE A VERY LIGHT RESTORATION / TIDY UP BUT I HAVE BEEN VERY CAREFUL TO RETAIN THE ORIGINALITY AND PATINA OF THIS STUNNING AND VERY RARE CAR
THE CAR HAS DONE 102000 MILES FROM NEW - ALL MOT'S DATING RIGHT BACK TO IT'S FIRST ONE IN 1984 ARE WITH THE CAR AS PROOF OF GENUINE MILEAGE
I HAVE THE BILL OF SALE FROM CURRIE MOTORS FORD MAIN DEALER WHEN THE CAR WAS SOLD AT THREE YEARS OLD WITH 41000 MILES ON THE CLOCK
I ALSO HAVE A FOLDER FULL OF HISTORY WITH THE CAR TOGETHER WITH THE ORIGINAL STAMPED SERVICE BOOK AND ORIGINAL HANDBOOKS
ALL THE PANELS ARE ORIGINAL AS FAR AS I CAN TELL
THE FRONT WINGS ARE CERTAINLY ORIGINAL AND THE ONLY THING I CAN FIND THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED PANEL WISE IS THE TWO REAR WHEEL ARCHES
OBVIOUSLY OVER THE YEARS IT HAS HAD FRESH PAINT IN PLACES TO RETAIN IT'S BEAUTIFUL LUSTRE DEEP GLOSS SHINE BUT IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT TO A VERY HIGH STANDARD
THE 6J RONAL 13" ALLOYS ARE ALL ORIGINAL AND ALL DATED 81
THE GLASS IS THE ORIGINAL BRONZE TINT AND THE REG NUMBER IS STAMPED ON EVERY PIECE (THIS WAS A PERIOD EXTRA ANTI THEFT MEASURE)
THE INTERIOR IS THE ORIGINAL CARLA CHECK
THIS WAS REMOVED AND SENT AWAY TO A TRIMMERS TO HAVE THE SEAT FOAMS REPLACED AND THE COVERS RE FITTED TO LOOSE THE BAGGY EFFECT THAT APPEARS OVER THE YEARS
A BRAND NEW SET OF CARPETS HAVE BEEN FITTED. WHILST THESE WERE OUT THE FLOOR PAN WAS INSPECTED AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT OVER THE YEARS THERE HAVE BEEN TWO VERY SMALL REPAIRS IN THE USUAL PRONE AREAS. THESE BEING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FOOT WELLS. THESE REPAIRS ARE VERY SMALL. NEAT AND CARRIED OUT TO A VERY HIGH STANDARD
APART FROM THE ABOVE MENTIONED THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN WELDED ANYWHERE ELSE AND IT IS VIRTUALLY RUST FREE
A BRAND NEW CUSTOM MADE BLACK ROOF LINING HAS BEEN FITTED
THE DASH FASCIA IS UNCUT AND HOUSES THE ORIGINAL FORD STEREO RADIO UNIT
THE DASH TOP HAS THE USUAL CRACK AT THE SIDE OF THE FRONT SPEAKER
THE CHASSIS AND ENGINE NUMBERS ARE MATCHING
THE CAR DRIVES LOVELY AND TURNS HEAD EVERYWHERE YOU GO
THE OIL PRESSURE IS EXCELLENT AND RUNS AT ABOUT THREE QUARTERS UP THE GAUGE AT 40 MPH IN TOP GEAR
THERE ARE NO HEAD GASKET ISSUES AND ENGINE TEMP WHEN WARMED UP STAYS CONSTANT AT HALF WAY ON THE GAUGE
THE GEARBOX IS THE ORIGINAL 4 SPEED (VERY RARE TO FIND ONE THAT HASN'T BEEN CONVERTED TO 5 SPEED)
ANY EAGLE EYED ENTHUSIASTS AMONG YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE FRONT DOOR CARDS AREN'T ORIGINAL. DON'T PANIC !!
I HAVE THE ORIGINALS THAT WILL COME WITH THE CAR BUT I REPLACED THEM WITH THESE OFF A 2. 8 INJ AS THEY HAVE BECOME A LITTLE TIRED OVER THE YEARS. THEY REALLY AREN'T THAT BAD AND HAVEN'T HAD ANY SPEAKER HOLES CUT OUT. I JUST HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO GET THEM REPAIRED SO FITTED THE PRESENT ONES AS A TEMPORARY MEASURE

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CAR SHOUTS ORIGINALITY BUT IN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING CONDITION
IDEAL AS A DAILY DRIVER
WILL HOLD IT'S OWN AT ANY SHOW AND TO BE HONEST IT WOULDN'T TAKE ALOT OF TIME OR MONEY TO TURN IT INTO A SHOW WINNER
GOOD ORIGINAL CARS LIKE THIS ONE DON'T COME ALONG VERY OFTEN
THIS CAR IS FROM MY OWN PERSONAL COLLECTION
I AM IN TWO MINDS WEATHER TO KEEP IT OR NOT AS CAPRI'S LIKE THIS ONE ARE A SOUND INVESTMENT AND HAVE SHOT UP IN VALUE OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS
MONEY INVESTED IN A FORD CAPRI 3. 0S IS A BETTER INVESTMENT THAN MONEY IN THE BANK AND YOU GET TO ENJOY AND DRIVE IT AT THE SAME TIME. YOU CAN'T LOOSE !
THE ONLY REASON I AM SELLING IT IS BECAUSE I HAVE NOW PURCHASED A 2. 8 INJ SPECIAL. WHICH TO BE HONEST ISN'T AS DESIRABLE OR COLLECTABLE AS THE 3. 0S BUT IT IS THE SENTIMENTAL VALUE THAT ATTRACTS ME AS THE 2. 8 INJ SPECIAL WAS SUPPLIED NEW BY A LOCAL FORD DEALER WHEN I WORKED THERE IN 1985
I COULDN'T RESIST IT WHEN A FRIEND OF MINE GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE IT FROM HIM RECENTLY
ON TOP OF THAT I STILL HAVE THE DESIRE TO FULFIL A LIFE LONG AMBITION TO OWN A MINT ESCORT MK1. HENCE THE 3. 0S HAS TO GO TO MAKE ROOM
IF YOU HAVE A MINT MK1 ESCORT FOR SALE OR INDEED ANYTHING ELSE INTERESTING GIVE ME A TRY. YOU NEVER KNOW !

I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR CAPRI 3. 0S MK111's FOR SALE AND HAVE PITCHED THIS AT WHAT I FEEL TO BE A VERY REALISTIC PRICE

NO DREAMERS. TIME WASTERS OR TEST PILOTS PLEASE
GENUINE ENQUIRIES ONLY
THERE IS NO POINT IN WASTING MY TIME OR YOURS

ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME ON 07973 908722

THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AT MY STUNNING FORD CAPRI 3. 0S
