AN extremely rare 1987 Ford Capri with iconic vintage features has hit auction for an eye-watering price.
The green motor is one of 1,038 produced in the world with reports claiming there are only 200 left.

Described as “unapologetically original”, the leather seats are still intact as is the cassette player and manually operated sunroof.
The wheels and bodywork are still the 80s originals too – with just a few wearing parts.
It has since been put up for auction with a starting price of £8,500.
In the description it says: “Undeniably, the interior of this 280 is one of the best parts about it.
“Completely original, unmodified even down to the cassette player.
“Directly in front of the driver seat, the steering wheel shows very little signs of any wear, and the gauges mounted just ahead appear clear as day and completely functional with no unwelcoming warning lights present.
“The all original paintwork is rather nicely presented all things considered, with just the roof showing most of the damage from sitting in the sun unused.
“Some small rust spots, scratches, blemishes etc are present, however its to be entirely expected on an original car which has sat off the road for a considerable amount of time.”
The car had the same owner from when it was brand new until 2011.
It has only done around 77,000 miles in its 36 years and has been off road since 2005.
It was however recommissioned last year making it road-ready once again.
The auction, which can be viewed here, ends on Monday.
