Stunning 1982 Black 2.8i Capri 4 speed.
Only 7 owners and 66,000 miles.
For those of you who are not familiar with the 4 speed 2.8i I can honestly say it’s a totally different car to a 5 speed to drive, lovely strong box with precise quick changes and noticeably quicker than a 5 speed In both acceleration and top end, it really is the gearbox Ford should have kept throughout the 2.8i’s lifespan.
I looked long and hard to find a solid straight 4 speed with the original Carla check interior and eventually found this one and ended up travelling 450 miles to get it. I was not disappointed! I am very fussy when it comes to a car with original straight panels and correct panel gaps and it was one of the best I had seen in a long time. It has never had any accident damage or related repairs!
Although solid, with all original panels and virtually no corrosion I decided to strip the car, professionally repairing any small areas that I did find along the way and then having a full repaint carried out at great expense. This was NOT a cheap re-paint.
I traveled to classic Ford at Santa pod where there was a large gathering of Capri’s and can say in all honesty that it was one of the better cars there, unfortunately it was packed and I did not get in to the display area.
Mechanically excellent with original engine, gearbox and diff in excellent health. Engine bay is excellent and original with all factory strut tops, spot welds etc and no corrosion. Temperature gauge never goes near the top even in hot heavy traffic and uses no oil or water.
Interior is superb with original un-cracked dash and seats in lovely condition, correct early 3 spoke wheel with exposed metal centre and also has the black headlining which was only fitted to the very early 2.8i.
The underside is in very good condition with a very light coat of waxoyl on top of the original underseal, no nasty weld patches and again all original and how it should be.
Correct pepper pot wheels, decals, body mouldings and so on. I have fitted an expensive (£1500) but very subtle audio sound system with Ipod connector in the glovebox which could be easily removed If required, I have original door cards and speakers also should the new owner wish to put it back to standard.
Fully serviced with all fluids and the usual parts changed, rebuilt brakes with new lines, calipers and green stuff pads fitted, suspension has been fully poly bushed with expensive bushes also.
Mot for nearly a year with no advisories and has a few months road tax, always garaged with dry use only.
£8750 ovno, No timewasters please, I am not worried if it sells or not as I am confident I could not replace it with another in the same condition. Tel 07950665360.
