Original 2.8i list price
Hi, does anybody know the list price when new in 1981 for the 2.8i? Something tells me £7995 but I have a feeling that was for later run out specials.

Ooh what a great thing to have
They were the private buyers bible back in the 80's & 90's, before the interweb thats how you valued a car
Interesting for me because mine is a March 1981, dont suppose you have scanned all of the Capri pages have you, would be great to add to my info folder for Biscuit.

Excellent reference for many people mate, thank you again
Re: Original 2.8i list price
Andy, of the turbos as above there are 35 left on the road, total 395 all models. Actually, considering the small volumes sold that`s not a bad survival rate if you compare to, say, Montegos?

Hi Steve,
You hardly see them around now, and with that low a number on the road it's hardly surprising.
I liked Japanese cars of that time as they felt well built, better quality and more reliable some than UK cars.
Sold it for a more practical Cavalier SRi 130 when my son was a few months old!

They were good then, certainly gave Ford a fright! All went wrong with the Vectra .
Re: Original 2.8i list price
Early to mid 90s, I remember work mates would go to Empress Car Supermarket in South Wales to buy the ex rep Vauxhalls mainly Mk3 Cavaliers cheap.
I had 2 Vectras between 2004 and 2008. The SRi 150 drank oil but didn't appear to burn it The 2.5 V6 I had no issues!
Anyway better stop the Vaux.... talk on a Capri forum
