A STUNNING Ford Capri in ‘outstanding’ condition is up for auction and set to go under the hammer for an eye-watering price.
The 1987 Brooklands limited-edition model is number 86 of a production run which totalled just 1,038 cars.

After spending many years as part of a wider collection in Ireland, the special Capri returned to the UK in 2014.
It was then recommissioned for use back on the road, but used only occasionally – and amazingly the handsome sporty coupe has only covered 24,613 miles from new.
There are only three registered keepers showing as having owned the Brooklands, with the last being the Chairman of car dealer group Perrys.
Finished in Brooklands Green paintwork, which looks to be in excellent condition, the Capri features a sunroof, original analogue clock and a Ford cassette player for that true retro feel.
Under the bonnet is a 2.8-litre V6 petrol engine, producing around 160bhp which means the rare motor will have more than enough power to keep things entertaining on the road.
The car also comes with its owner’s manuals and service book, a selection of new old stock spare mechanical parts, a Capri 280 brochure, an Autocar magazine with a write up of the Capri 280 and a collection of maintenance documents.
Collecting Cars said: “Highly original and unmodified bar a brake upgrade, this example is described as being in outstanding condition with an excellent history file and provenance, and would make a fine addition to any Ford enthusiast’s collection.”
The online auction ends on 25th June, so there’s plenty of time to get in on the bidding action.
