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

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.

Pictures of the worse fitting car cover I have ever seen
If this is your car please accept my thoughts on the advert as we all have a opinion even when it’s my mother in law

Wish I got that price for mine
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
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

As a turnip, I feel this comment is a personal attack on me and will be reporting you to the local constabulary for hate speech

Some car ads speak to you and give you a good or bad feeling.....Stated in the ad not cleaned since owned
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.
