A 1980 Ford Capri 3.0 S

[Charterhouse]

Hi there, we are an Auction house situated in Dorset and have an upcoming Classic & Vintage Car Auction on the 6th November at the Royal Bath & West Showground. Within this auction, we are auctioning a Ford Capri 3.0 S, please find the catalogue description below.

A 1980 Ford Capri 3.0 S, registration number KMC 737W, chassis number GAECAL050280, engine number AL05028, black. The 3.0 S is the most expensive model of Capri to be sold at auction. Earlier this year, a 1978 example that was used by Lewis Collins portraying the SAS Sergeant William Bodie in the hit TV series The Professionals, sold for a record £55,000. At launch in 1978, the Mk III carried over the previous Mk II engine and running gear combinations in the face lifted body shell, and in 3.0 S configuration has become generally regarded amongst enthusiasts as the most desirable. This example has been restored and maintained to a high standard and has recently formed part of a private collection. The Capri looks very rugged with its black coachwork and recently retrimmed interior which incorporates the correct Carla check fishnet Recaro seats and a rare RS four spoke leather rimmed steering wheel. This now rare hot Ford is offered for auction with an impressively large history file containing numerous receipts, a run of MOTs, and a recent rolling road test record showing that the car produces 145 bhp at 5,000 rpm. V5C, MOT to May 2017

£13,000 – 15,000
