If you like your Fords original and unmolested, then ‘PNP 854Y’ could be the Capri for you. One of the increasingly hard-to-find base model cars, it was first registered by Brooklyn Ford of Malvern in November 1982 and remained with the same owner, a Mrs Harnett, until 2019, so is a genuine one previous lady owner example. The vendor informs us that ‘it starts and drives superbly’. He adds that the bodywork is ‘solid everywhere’ and the Gold metallic paintwork totally original. On the subject of the engine he says ‘it pulls cleanly and ticks over silently’. Overall, he currently classes the engine, and transmission as ‘excellent’, the brown upholstery as ‘good’, and the bodywork and paintwork as ‘good’. With just 35,000 miles under its belt, this remarkably original Capri is now offered complete with original bill of sale, including the original service book plus an assortment of old MOT’s. Arguably a unique opportunity for the many Capri fans everywhere.
Ford’s Capri was launched at the 1969 Brussels Salon. The fastback coupe was intended to do for Europe what the Mustang had done for the USA. The newcomer was initially offered with a generous choice of four-cylinder engines, but by September those had been joined by the 136bhp, 3-litre V6 Essex unit. Worthwhile improvements to the model came with the MKII versions of 1974 and the quadruple headlamp MKIII cars introduced in 1978.
In summary:
- A one previous owner example
- Just 35,000 miles from new
- An original and unmolested example
