Ford Capri 3.0 S for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.05) based on 508 votes
Its time to move on my beloved geniune Capri 3. 0 s that i have been forced to sell after loosing storage after 10 years of ownership. Ill say at the outset I aint desperate to sell it and it wont go for silly prices. so please make serious offers only. If you know what your looking at then you will know that these are probably the most desirable Capris to own and the increase in value of these proves it as they are starting to get snapped up by serious collectors.  

Since my ownership i have had a few bits of bodywork carried out on the car. the engine bay was stripped to bare metal and resprayed. its had a new clutch. new leaf springs with rear Bilstein shocks. sportex exhaust manifold mated to a Peter LLoyd exhaust system (sounds awesome) and unleaded head. It has a K & N filter and electronic ignition. Over the last two years i have had a new coil. leads. starter motor and altenator. When I bought the car i had new inner and outer sills fitted.  

The car has been a summer toy and covered less than 9k miles in my ownership. for which i have MOTs to prove this. It passed its MOT in May this year with no advisories and no problems. Id happily get in it and drive it wherever and be confident of arriving without issue.  

The interior is in the orange and black Carla trim with the rare fishnet recaros. the drivers side bolster is showing slight ware and the passenger side doesnt tilt forward. Ive never bother with the tilt issue as no one hardly goes in the back seat. The same with the heater motor. that has never worked since ive had the car but as its a toy and doesnt get driven in the rain or winter ive never seen the point. the same reason ive never fixed the rear wiper. The dash is uncracked and the door cards uncut which is very rare these days for one of these. It is also very rare in that it has the rare option of deleted sunroof. I have been told by an expert that this is know as the 'motorsport shell'. Press figures suggest that there may be less than 125 of these left in the uk on the road. with this one been of the later ones registered in May 81

The engine pulls like a train and with so much torque it will plod along and then pull from 25mph in forth gear. yet if you want to make it move it has plenty of grunt to match. Oil pressure does exactly what it should with nothing out the exhaust to suggest anything but a good solid engine. one thats never let me down. The milometer shows 57k. but i can only prove my ownership so dont take that as genuine. albeit its possibly correct judging by the condition and the fact it was originally registered on the Isle of White. - who knows.  

In my ownership the car has been on display at the NEC Classic car show twice and is a regular at local midlands events and shows. The car isnt perfect and could never be classed as concours as i use it whenever possible. buts its in very good condition. The bodywork is very good all round but if im being picky i would get four new bumper end caps as they have the odd mark and there is a split in the corner of the rear spoiler. Im not after concours money as they are now fetching 12 - 15k. The price i will accept reflects the condition of the car. But as youve read this far you will already know what its worth and the market trend for these at the moment.  

Im realistic. but as the price suggests dont expect a concours car. but you can and will a very very tidy example of a Capri 3. 0 S.

 Im happy to answer any queries by e-mail or text/phone on 07896 943012 - Please no time wasters wanting to buy it for relatives abroad - this will be cash only - but may be tempted by something interesting plus cash my way

Thanks
