Lot details Registration No: YHT153J Chassis No: BBECKT26525 Mot Expiry: Jan 2008
Commissioned and designed by Ford as a European equivalent to the iconic Mustang, the Capri was launched in 1969. An attractive four-seater with good handling and respectable performance, its reputation was enhanced by the repeated successes of competition variants in the contemporary European Touring Car Championship. Although, stylistically evolved over three 'Marks', the handsome two-door coupe remained predominantly faithful to the same basic mechanical recipe throughout its eighteen-year production life. Built around a monocoque bodyshell featuring MacPherson strut front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, disc / drum brakes and rack and pinion steering, it was powered by everything from an anaemic 1.3 litre four-pot to a homologation special 3.1 litre V6 engine.
Finished in metallic light green with black vinyl upholstery, this particular 3000E example is variously described by the vendor as being in "A1" (four-speed manual gearbox, interior trim, chassis) or "A1+" (2994cc V6 engine, electrical equipment, bodywork, paintwork, wheels / tyres) condition. Said to have had just two owners and to have covered a mere 60,526 miles from new, 'YHT 153J' sports a vinyl roof, 'bullet' wing mirrors, four auxiliary driving lights and a badge bar. Riding on polished alloy wheels, this seemingly 'period perfect' Capri is offered for sale with MOT certificate and historic class (free) road tax valid until December 2007.
PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle now comes with an MOT certificate until January 2008.
