   1979/T registered Ford Capri 1. 6GL 4 speed manual. 1 lady owner from 1986 to 2015 (29 years) at which point i purchased. It has been off the road and dry stored from 1996. Genuine mileage of 76000 miles from new. It is registered in my name at my address.

   A well preserved example having benefitted with ZIEBART rust protection applied when new. The rustproof application was comprehensive throughout the car including but not exhaustive. nner wings. loors. heelarch returns and innerwheelarches. As a result this car has never been welded and remains incredibly solid with all the common rust prone areas under the bonnet. posts. floors and rear chassis all remaining very good. The front wings . ills and A posts have also stood the test of time with no signs of rot setting in. The opening panels are also all in a solid state. There is however  a small area on each rear wheelarch which will require straight forward remedial repair. The paintwork is by and large all original from new bar the drivers wing and door from what i can see. The paintwork however has paint defects to most panels and touch ins which would warrant a repaint bar the roof which is fine.

  It has all its original features including radio. erial and overmats. The fixtures and fittings to the car are undamaged and good for age. I have had it started but have not driven it due to the brakes being unserviceable. It however now turns over but does not start now with suspected stale fuel or carburettor issues. The engine was quiet and ran well. It does roll freely for loading purposes.

 A solid and unmolested early mk3 capri benefitting with ziebart rust protection from new . Suitable for restoration or modification or possibly an ideal candidate for reshelling a more valuable model without the arduous task of welding or sourcing panels. It will however require work associated with long term storage and is sold requiring full restoration or spares or repairs with no warranties. It is unroadworthy and will need an adequate transporter to remove. Viewing is by strict appointment only. A non refundable holding fee will secure. The car has clear title and current V5c and is HPI clear. Asking price is £3000 NO OFFERS. TRADE SALE
