SUMMARY
Finished in Caspian Blue over Strato Silver, this exceptional 2.8i Capri, has covered a genuine 18,078 recorded miles and remains in outstanding original condition throughout.
DESCRIPTION
Finished in Caspian Blue over Strato Silver, this exceptional 2.8i Capri, has covered a genuine 18,078 recorded miles and remains in outstanding original condition throughout. Purchased by its first owner, a Mr JB Ream of Aberdeen, as noted in a hand written letter in the history file at a cost of £8,000 in May 1983, it remained within his family for the first 19 years of its life, to be used as a second vehicle for special occasions, and only then if weather conditions were favourable.
A fastidious owner indeed, he had the first service carried out at the supplying dealer, however, following services were completed by Mr Ream and his son in law, a qualified Ford mechanic utilising all genuine parts along the way. The thought process being that the works carried out were finished with greater care and attention to detail if you did it yourself, provided, of course that you had an experienced Ford technician by your side. The car remained within the family for some time and changed hands twice more before being purchased by our vendor in 2016, however, all concerned seem to have cared for the Capri diligently, evidenced by its current condition and low mileage.
The 2.8i is a reasonably quick car and certainly great to drive and this cars mileage is ideal making it possible to enjoy the car without having to watch the odometer tick over whist still retaining the status of a desirable, low mileage, modern classic that would be welcome in any Blue Oval Collection.
Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate the opportunity on offer, that being to be the next custodian of this exceptional 2.8 Injection Capri.
