Ford Capri 2.0 ltr Ghia

The Capri Mk III was introduced in March 1978, and sold very well initially. The new styling cues, most notably the black "Aeroflow" grille and the "sawtooth" rear lamp lenses echoed the new design language being introduced at that time by Ford of Europe's chief stylist Uwe Bahnsen across the entire range. Similar styling elements were subsequently introduced in the Cortina, the Escort Mk III and the Granada. In addition, the Mk III featured improved aerodynamics, leading to improved performance and economy over the Mk II, and the trademark quad headlamps were introduced. The bonnet's leading edge was pulled down over the top of the headlamps, making the appearance more aggressive.At launch the existing engine and transmission combinations of the Capri II were carried over, with the 3.0 S model regarded as the most desirable model, although the softer, more luxurious Ghia derivative with automatic, rather than manual transmission, was the bigger seller of the two V6-engined models.The vendor states that this Capri has been in the same family for many years. The property of an elder member of the family, it has been stored for years in their garage, and has now been re-commissioned and has just passed its MOT. The car drives extremely well, and is very usable and quiet. It features the original carpets and seats in great condition, the body is very straight, paintwork is generally very good, and with a little TLC this Capri could be made immaculate. A new water pump was fitted after storage as the bearings had dried out.The car has matching chassis and engine numbers, and is definitely one for the future. It comes with spare keys, all documents, a workshop manual and original Ford Capri Owners Manual.
