For Sale 1983 Capri 2.8i Black
For Sale 1983 Capri 2.8i Black
In the next week I will have for sale a 1983 (Y) Capri 2.8i for sale. It had been stood for 10 years and not moved, battery went on and with 2 mins was running sweetly. It is in tomorrow to have some paint work done to the bonnet and one wing. MOT will be completed by the end of the week.
She is from what I can tell completely original, but I am no expert.
Has pepperpot alloys, Recaro interior, everything looks right
The only parts I can find which are not are 100% are the plastic bumpers have faded are area light grey, there is a rip in the seam of the rear seat, which can be fixed easily.
I have sold over 20 classic cars in the last 18 months and always try to sell to genuine enthusiasts before going down the ebay route.
Please contact for more details.

Isn't a Y plate 1982/3?
Sounds like a nice car though.
Good luck with the sale,
Andrew.

Hi,
Sorry I can't help being pedantic!
What's the mileage and how much are you asking for it?
All the best,
Andrew.

Re: For Sale 1983 Capri 2.8i Black
No need to apologize it was wrong, it's covered 52000, not sure on the price, there are prices from £4k to £10k. I think I'd want at least £5k for it but as with all classic cars it's only worth what someone is prepared to pay.
I'll drop some pics on when I get it back

Re: For Sale 1983 Capri 2.8i Black
So a few weeks turned into a few months, anyway the 2.8 is going in for MOT on Tuesday. All paint work has been completed, there are still a few little marks, four new tyres, service, brakes all done, not bad for a car that hasn't moved for over 10 years. By the end of the week and after a full valet she will be ready for sale. 63000 miles on the clock, unfortunaetly the last owner cannot find the service history and receipts which is a shame. I have one MOT from 2005 showing 63000 miles and the original service book, showing last service at 10500 miles.
Please contact me if interested in a viewing.

Re: For Sale 1983 Capri 2.8i Black
are you still selling it (had no reply from you mate) ?????
Re: For Sale 1983 Capri 2.8i Black
For all interested, she went straight through the MOT today. It's running a little lumpy and hesitant as you go hard on the accelerator. I'll look at putting new plugs, leads, dizzy cap and new fuel. Today is the first time it's been driven in over 10 years.
