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 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 was built around a monocoque bodyshell and powered by everything from an anaemic 1.3 litre four-pot to a homologation special 3.1 litre V6 engine.

The delightful Mk2 Capri we have on offer today for you is fitted with the 3 litre engine, the automatic gearbox and has the Ghia trim. ‘OMM’ is finished in the original Gold paintwork with the Everflex roof (with sunroof) and has the matching cloth to the interior. Purchased by the current owner as a present for his brother in 2019 the Capri was immediately sent to Andy Lee for engine and gearbox work, which cost in excess of £4000. ‘OMM’ has been used very little since, hence being for sale, but it started straight away with ease and drives really well for a car of her age and everything seems to work as it should, and although we only took her to 60mph nothing untoward appeared. A very pleasant drive with many admirers.

‘OMM’ is in fine condition, with the bodywork and paintwork being really very good indeed. Under the bonnet is lovely and the interior has not been messed about with either. There is a lovely file of history including a variety of bills, three examples where she has appeared in the Mk2 Register annual calendar (2015/2016/2017), a copy of the Mk2 Register Magazine 'Two’s Company’ with her on the front cover in 2014, previous MOT’s and tax discs and intriguingly a copy of the Harlow Star from 29.1.1981, showing ‘OMM’ being for sale for £2800. To be honest I’m not sure where you would find a better example to either drive or show and especially for the estimated price.
