A METICULOUSLY restored Ford Capri Mk III is up for sale at auction and can be yours for a bargain price.
The iconic and much-loved motor, often lauded as Europe‘s answer to the Ford Mustang, is renowned for its classic styling and sports car appeal.
This iconic 1981 Ford Capri is available to buy for a bargain price
It comes in Prairie Yellow with a tobacco vinyl roof and stunning interior
Available at Car & Classic auction house, this 1981 Capri – a favourite among car collectors – is currently set to sell for just over £7,000, with the auction’s final day coming on December 15.
According to the auction site’s specialists, this Capri has been extensively restored by the previous owner – including a completelt rebuilt 1,593cc engine to go with its 4-speed manual transmission.
It also comes in a gorgeous Prairie Yellow finish along with a tobacco vinyl roof and stunning interior – complete with authentic 1980s cloth seats.
Described as boasting a driving experience ‘that is both enjoyable and reliable’, this classic motor is suitable for everyday use or as a standout show car.
Fans of the Capri will perhaps be less impressed with the iconic name making a return as a Volkswagen SUV.
Ford and Volkswagen joined forces years ago to develop a new generation of SUV inspired by the fastback coupe.
But old-school fans could be left feeling upset as Volkswagen look set to turn the Capri into a compact crossover powered by electricity, according to Carbuzz.
Elsewhere, a Capri that was the recipient of a prestigious award just a few years ago has gone up for auction – but this one will cost you an arm and a leg.
An incredible 1973 RSV3100, decked out with a striking blue finish, was also the template for a popular replica toy.
It has just 8,867 miles on the clock and is one of just 27 produced by the Lynford Motor Company of Kings Lynn, Norfolk.
