    Right alot of interest in this car and no it is not far sale the reason it is there is I am helping my friend sell all the other cars that are in front of it so that it can be taken out and put back on the road for his young son to restore together!

    Have owned 3 CAPRI'S in my days back in the 70's early 80's. 1600, 2 litre V4 and I was privileged to own a 3.000 litre V6 SAVAGE. JUST WISH I STILL OWNED IT TO DAY.😢
    MY V4 I TOTALY REBUILT THE ENGINE. At home after getting it rebored, head skimmed, new pistons, rings, ect.
    A FANTASTIC car of it's time and still is in the right hands.
    BUT THIS GUY REALY DOES NOT KNOW HIS WAY AROUND ENGINES LET ALONE THE FORD CAPRI.

    MOT was valid in May 2021 so doesn't really count as a "find" as it was never "lost". 😉

    In the U.S. they had the Mercury badge and also came with a V6 that was a screamer. Mine was a 1973 with only a 4 cylinder but it was a simple car that was easy to work on and reliable until the rust became too much. Living where it snowed often in the Winter and salt was used on the roads wasn't kind to it at all unfortunately.

    I have ownd around 8 capris from 1978 ,the best one was the 2.0 s and 3.0s. Every one has a k&n filter for that induction noise .the capri was a fantastic car .

      I had a 2.0s with janspeed manifold and exhaust and a 3.0s which I bought cheap but turned out to be carb'd cologne v6 out of a Granada lol. Long time ago but were fun times. Capris were great cars to learn how to drive in. Wet roads and roundabouts were happy memories.

    Great car, brings back some good memories I used to own one back in the 80s with the 2.0 Pinto there was a 1.6 version as well.
    This one has a water leak at the back of the engine probably from the heater matrix pipes

    Despite the registration showing last mot expired in May 2021 , I can’t see that car having passed its mot in May 2020 unless it was written on a fag packet 😂, also mileage recorded at 11,845 miles colour Black it looks Blue to me. Doesn’t look if it’s seen a mot centre in years 😂 maybe someone has a good explanation. Speedo shows 16,428 miles
