:agree: Stunning. Where do these ultra low mileage cars live all these years, and what cars do the owners drive for 33 years while they could have been enjoying this :doh:

At that price I expect they would be driving a 15 year old Fiesta or Corsa!

Nice colour but don't think it's a 1983 or even a Capri colour :? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1983-Ford-Ca ... Sw9UhfVku4

Something not adding up with MOT history;

Date tested 4 May 2010 Mileage 95,152 miles

Date tested 28 January 2012 Mileage 71,552 miles

Probably a speedo change? If earliest miles are correct the car has done about 103k not 79k as advert.

Looks a bit like Tasman Blue which was around late 80's to early 90's. I had a Granada Ghia in that colour.

Sometimes I do wonder if it is me or the world is different to me ! Yes I am mad with OCD and a bad back but would any of you buy this at the same price andy sold his ?

Thought ladies , gents & transgenders?

Wish I got that price for mine :lol:

That's Marks (Brooky) old car now owned by his son Lee. Seen it a couple of times over the last 5 years or so, and as 280s go it's cheap enough, but there is room for improvement in the places mentioned in the ad.

That cover fits like my vest atm :whistle: But good tailored covers can still cause paint issues too as I found out in the past as have others.

For a standard 2.8, no. But you've forgotten Brooklands tax! Buy it at £16.5k, fix the few areas and sell it on saying it's concourse and has original paint for twice the price :lol:

Regardless of expense can't see it selling for the expected price/bids https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Capri-m ... Sw-4RfjFVO

Petrol gauge not working(?) and a little hoover of mats wouldn't go a miss before taking pics.

Some car ads speak to you and give you a good or bad feeling.....Stated in the ad not cleaned since owned :shock: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1987-FORD-CA ... SwSRlfy8Hh

My car interior would never be that dirty, and especially if selling! This isn't a cheap car, make a bit of an effort.
