The vendor has provided the following:
This is a lovely usable example of a Ford Capri 3.0 Ghia in Gold with Tobacco Vinyl roof. It's a rarer factory manual with low mileage showing. This car has survived over its 46 year life without being modified or molested and un-restored other than paintwork being refreshed and period Janspeed stainless exhausts fitted, that gives an amazing V6 Essex sound track. Still carrying ford factory spec front wings and an interior that is rip free, unfaded and a dash without cracks. The engine bay is showing original paint work and still has some Ford branded parts service parts. The majority of ownership has been by two Ford enthusiasts, 30 years+ and last 9 years. This Capri drives very well, the engine and powertrain are both strong, quiet and have had comments that it feels like a 30,000 mile car going down the road. As with all older cars it has some leaks that can be addressed, minor leak on PAS rack, bottom hose and rocker covers. Can’t be many other surviving low milage 3 litre Ghias manuals out there?
