It doesn't look that bad in there to be honest. Just remove that funnel and you'll be right. Nice car.

Re: My 1975 3.0 Ghia Manual
Nice one.
I have a Mk 3 I'm restoring, but in my search for engine parts I've come across a MK 2 Ghia in need of restoration also.....I'm tempted to buy it and have the Quadrella...Mk 1 V6 GT, Mk 1 Perana replica, Mk 3 3.0s replica and possible Mk2????
Love the colour as well.

Re: My 1975 3.0 Ghia Manual
Nice Is it a 2.0 or 3.0 Ghia? if it's a 3.0 Ghia Mk2 it can be worth easily over £10.000 , mine is a rare one It's a 3.0 Ghia Manual which was only available on 1974 aand 75 model years , i have talked to different Capri " experts" and they say mine might be worth between £ 12.000 or even £ 15.000!

Re: My 1975 3.0 Ghia Manual
Went to a very cool meet yesterday , free food , drinks and music right by the seaside!! , i love living in Mallorca
Had so wash the car quick before going there:
Ignition system trouble finally sorted Bosch distributor back in the engine, brand new cap rotor points and condenser :
Also saw this beautiful White TVR 3000M race car with a stunning 240 bhp 3.0 / 3.1 Essex in it that sounded incredible made me feel so envyous

Re: My 1975 3.0 Ghia Manual
3.0 Ghia most expensive model back in the day ! the Ghia interior and badges give the car a really classy look that you don't get in other Capris other than the Executive or the GXL

How cool is this, your car is now featured on the Capri Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Capri Right hand side just below the MK11 specification box
All the best
