Personally I think that is a good price for a 3.0S.....these are the sort of cars that command that money,
although as we know they can be different in the flesh but well worth a look IMO.

No I'm not tempted

Hi All,
We saw this very car at the National this year.

(That's where the Gumtree photo was taken).

All the best,
Andrew.

Tried to contact the seller but no luck so far - suspect he may have sold it after doing a little detective work as was advertised on other sites than gumtree a couple of months back

As I have said before I always call the seller if they put up a contact number, as emails sometimes to get overlooked

But if they don't answer or return voice messages that's also annoying....

You're right Neil it's been on there quite a while.....

Ford Badge missing from Tailgate!
Vinyl Roof on an 'S' ?
Is that a standard colour ?

Andrew over to you.......

Hi Andy,

I knew someone back in the early 80's who had a 3.0S in that colour, so fairly confident it is standard.
Sure I've seen vinyl roofs on early S models before, guessing it was an optional extra? Andrew to confirm

Good spot the

badge missing.

All the best
Neil

Hi,
Jupiter Red is a fantastic colour on a Capri. It must have been an unusual choice, as you don't see many painted in this colour, much more common on Cortinas and the like. It might even have been a special factory order for the Capri. However, it was certainly in the Ford colour guide in 1979.

Although there are a few 3.0S fitted with a vinyl roof, I think I prefer them without. Pretty sure that was an option on the S.

All the best,
Andrew.

Never

I like the Oyster Gold same as Doyles Car VHK11W, that would be my first choice.....

Not a fan of the Vinyl Roof on any Capri TBH

I've looked at the Jupiter red 3.0.s in Brigg, full of filler, engine overfilled with oil, water pump leaking, vin plate missing, rusty roof, .. I walked away....

That's not good

Another Chancer hoping a Blind Man will turn up to buy it.......?

Hi Mr. Ford,

That is sloppy, I wouldn't expect that from a dealer that claims "an enthusiastic, knowledgeable team of staff.....We have well over 30 years experience in the motor trade and all of our stock is hand picked"

I can't say I'm surprised.

All the best,
