SUMMARY
Beautifully presented and remarkably original, Daytona Yellow, 1973 Capri 1300 L with just 39,433 miles from new. Almost certainly the finest example of the, now rare, 1300L currently available.
DESCRIPTION
- Shared with the Mk1 Escort, the 1,300cc engine was the smallest ever offered for the Capri and was only available from launch in 1969 to 1973
- The car on offer here was fitted with the 'L-Pack' which cost £15 0s 4d and consisted of identifying badges, chrome exhaust trim, bumper over-riders, locking filler cap, foot-operated wash wipe switch, bright metal wheel trims, bright metal side mouldings and bright metal dummy air scoops
- It was supplied new by Perrys of 54/56 Walton Street, Aylesbury and there is still a Perrys dealer sticker in the back window and another on the driver's side window
- The interior appears to be essentially original with its original Ford LW/MW radio
- It's been enjoyed by four former registered keepers and the history file contains the original book pack, service book, underseal guarantee - dated 26th October 1973, MOT certificates back to 1976 at 6,541 miles and a handwritten MOT mileage-log from 1976 till 2003
- Very few Capri 1300s remain and this must be one of, if not the best currently available. We encourage your inspection at our June Sale.
