DESCRIPTION
Family owned from new, just 26,000 miles and good history...
This super Ford Capri has been enjoyed by the same family from new as the current owner's grandfather purchased this car brand new in 1979.
With just two registered keepers in the Log Book, this Diamond White, 1979 Ford Capri 2.0 Ghia has travelled a mere 26,000 miles and has been owned by our vendor since 2001. Presented to Auction with an MOT certificate valid until June 2017 (no advisories), the car retains its original service book, with one stamp, manuals and a copy of the original 1979 logbook, together with a number of older MOTs and service invoices during its current ownership. We understand that the car was not driven for short periods of time, but has been used, albeit sparingly, for most years including this year. We understand that it has been garaged since new and is described as being in largely original condition having never been restored. What little surface rust has come through has been regularly addressed and the underside of the car is described as being very clean for its year.
With the search for good Capris gaining momentum, this lovely, low mileage 2.0 Ghia is not to be missed.
