1985 - Ford Capri 2.8i Special - Diamond White For Sale

Please click to dealer website for a more Comprehensive selection of Photographs.

1985 Ford Capri 2. 8i Special - 5 Speed Manual.

Finished in Diamond White with Grey Leather / Cloth Interior, Grey Carpets, Black headlining

This 2. 8i Capri has been the subject of an extensive restoration programme which has taken over 3 years and been the subject of many 100’s of Hours of work.

The Body Work has been Professionally Painted in its Original Colour of Ford Diamond White, receipts on file show new 1/ 2 floors along with inner sills and new front wings were fitted prior to being resprayed.

The Recaro Front Seats and the Rear Upholstery retain their Original Cloth whilst the outer Leather has been replaced with Grey Hide to Original specification, works completed to a high standard. The sunroof works as it should and the headlining has been replaced, trimming again to the highest standards. Original Carpets and Door Cards remain and these have been professionally cleaned.

Mechanically the Engine was removed, stripped, remachined and rebuilt - Invoices on file show the block to have been rebored + 0. 50 mm and new pistons fitted along with the crank polished and new bearing shells fitted. The camshaft has been updated with a Kent Camshaft Kit V6T21 and the Cylinder Head reworked to include hardened valve seat for unleaded fuel.

The Alloy wheels ( 5 ) have been refinished inside and out and have been fitted with new tyres

A New Sportex Stainless Steel Exhaust System has been fitted.

The Car was MOT tested at the end of May this year and passed with no advisories and a further 300 miles have now been completed as part of a due diligence shake down !

Just before the MOT was carried out in May 2019, a Comprehensive Service was carried out which included Oil and Filter, Air Filter, Fuel Filter, Alternator Belt, Fan Belt, Hand Brake Cable, Fuel Distributor, Distributor Cap, Rotor Arm, Wiper Blades, Battery and Battery Terminals, Thermostat, Horn, Starter Motor and Various Switches totalling £2514. 96.

On the Road the Car Drives very nicely, starting on the button and all gauges functioning and recording text book figures. The Engine producing a good turn of speed and the handling and braking being exactly as expected, the gearbox performs faultlessly and being fitted with a new clutch, gear changes are a joy. The rear axle is a bit noisy, in my opinion, so perhaps a bearing or 2 may be getting tired and require changing in the future & some wheel vibration can be felt at speed ( but not under braking ) so perhaps the wheels would benefit from re balancing.

What else is left to do ... well there are a few bits of minor trim that are missing, namely the passenger side door locking button, the passenger door handle internal trim plastic surround has a clip broken, the window winder handles are missing their inserts and the gearknob is a bit worn - oh and the paint on the rear bumper wants redoing ! - nothing really beyond the scope of the average owner !

There are receipts on file for parts and services totalling around £12500, plus quite a lot works that have been completed, but invoices are not on file ! - we estimate that it has cost £20, 000 over the last 3 years to get to this point today.

We have compiled a History File for the Car, putting receipts in date order etc along with the Current V5 and MOT plus a Print Out of the Vosa MOT History along with a Full Experian Autodata printout to confirm that the Vehicle is Not on the ABI register ( Not an Insurance Loss etc )

We have priced this example, we consider, extremely keenly, and have reduced the asking price to reflect the snagging list items - In honesty we don’t expect it to be available for long - The Price is Firm.

We do have a 4 post ramp on site so any courteous inspections welcomed with a little notice in advance.

Part Exchanges Considered.

This very early 1969 Ford Capri 1300 L entered the care of its current owner in 2017, carrying with it a dream that began with a young enthusiast's ambition in Oxford. Originally intended for a V8 upgrade that never materialized, the car arrived in a sorry state, its wings corroded with neglect. Despite this, the underpinnings ...

Here is a chance to purchase a project that is quite unusual. Not only is this Ford Capri very solid, but it has also been 'fitted' with a later BMW V12. We're not entirely sure why someone decided to cram a V12 engine and auto gearbox into the front of this Capri, but it definitely makes for something just a little bit ...
