MK2 FORD CAPRI 3. 0S 4 SPEED 1977 R REGISTERED FINISHED IN SIGNAL ORANGE 4 FORMER KEEPERS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION THROUGHOUT   M. O. T OCT 2014

HELLO AND WELCOME TO A MUCH REGRETTABLE OFFERING OF A MK 2 FORD CAPRI 3. 0S FIRST REGISTERED ON THE 9TH OF FEB 1977. AS AN M. O. T TILL OCTOBER 2014 AND TAXED TILL MAY 2014 AND SHOWING 51. 00 MILES.

THE CAR PRIOR TO ME PURCHASING IT WAS SUBJECT TO A TOTAL GROUND UP RESTORATION COSTING THOUSANDS  INCLUDING A  RESHELL AND MANY NEW PARTS IN ORDER TO COMPLETE. ORIGINALLY MIDNIGHT BLUE BUT NOW FINISHED IN SIGNAL ORANGE.

THE INTERIOR  IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION APART FROM A SMALL PARTING OF THE SEAM ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BACK BUT IS OUT OF A MK3 CAPRI 2. 8 INJECTION AND IS THE RECARO HALF LEATHER WHICH IS GREY AS ARE THE DOORCARDS. THE DASHPAD IS ALSO IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH NO CRACKS. CARPETS ARE NEW. PARCEL SHELF ALSO IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

THE 3 LITRE V6 ESSEX ENGINE IS AGAIN IN VERY GOOD RUNNING ORDER WITH EXCELLENT OIL PRESSURE FROM COLD AND BENEFITS FROM AN ACCUSPARK ELECTRONIC IGNITION SET UP . TUBULAR MANIFOLDS . FULL JANSPEED EXHAUST SYSTEM . K&N AIRFILTER AND A RECENT SERVICE INCLUDING A SESSION (OR THREE) ON THE ROLLING ROAD TO HAVE IT SET UP . I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE IS A BURTONPOWER UNIT BUT HAVE NO CONCLUSIVE PROOF (I DO KNOW IT HAS STEEL TIMING GEAR . A PERFORMANCE CAMSHAFT . NEW PISTONS ETC. ) OTHER THAN THE FACT IT PRODUCED 175+ BHP WHILST ON THE ROLLING ROAD. THE FOUR SPEED GEARBOX AGAIN IS SMOOTH WITH NO WHINES ETC. FRONT SUSPENSION IS BILSTEIN WITH 2. 8i BRAKES . VENTED DISCS AND GREEN STUFF PADS. REAR IS SINGLE LEAF SPRING WITH LOWERING BLOCKS. WHEELS ARE 7Jx13 RS 4 SPOKES WHICH WERE PURCHASED NEW FROM MIDLAND WHEELS AND HAVE 185/60/13 YOKOHAMA A539 TYRES ALL ROUND.

THE CAR DRIVES ABSOLUTELY SUPERB . nbsp;SOUNDS AWESOME WITH THE UNMISTAKEABLE BURBLE OF THE V6 ENGINE AND IS MORE THAN CAPABLE OF KEEPING UP WITH MODERN DAY TRAFFIC.

THE ONLY THING I CAN FAULT IT ON IS A SOMETIMES TEMPERAMENTAL REV COUNTER WHICH OCCASIONALLY STOPS WORKING AND THEN SUDDENLY COMES BACK TO LIFE (IF I GET A SPARE MINUTE I WILL TRY AND GET THIS SEEN TO) .

SO TO SUMMARISE WE HAVE HERE A FORD CAPRI MK2 3. 0S IN VERY VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH ABSOLUTELY NO RUST WHATSOEVER . HAS HAD THOUSANDS SPENT ON IT TO GET IT TO THIS STANDARD . HAS MAJORITY OF OLD M. O. T CERTIFICATES DATING BACK TO 1983 GETS CONSTANT ADMIRING GLANCES AND COMMENTS WHEREVER IT GOES . IS READY TO DRIVE AWAY AND ENJOY.
