This car has only 36,946 miles on the clock and a fully-documented history in the hands of its only owner.
And Classic Car Auctions wants to sell it for between £50,000 to £60,000.
What makes this Capri a “remarkable find” is the fact it’s a ‘Comanche’ conversion, which was handled by Jeff Uren.
He was an engineer and worked for Ford as a team manager.
Uren is best known for his bespoke conversions of Ford Cortinas, Capris and Escorts in the late 60s.
Jeff Uren modified approximately 1,700 Fords in Hanwell, the Daily Mail reports.
It must be one of only a handful to remain, especially as very few were converted by Uren before passing away in 2007.
This Ford is finished in “Maize Yellow” with a black vinyl interior.
The ‘Comanche’ conversion consisted of uprated gas flowed heads, high-compression pistons, bigger camshafts, and a re-jetted carburettor.
And it has an electric fan that gives an additional 55bhp over the standard Essex 3.0 V6 petrol engine.
According to Classic Car Auctions, the car has been kept under wraps for a long portion of its later life.
The vendor has decided to sell it to the highest bidder.
A spokesperson at Classic Car Auctions said to This is Money: “It has never been for sale until now and is therefore fresh to market and a genuine slice of Blue Oval Fast Ford history.
“With just 36,000 miles, it’s an unrepeatable lot.”
