Description

This is a car that I had the priviledge of owning a few years ago, and reluctantly sold to an old friend, who was building a significant classic collection . As often happens with collections, he's decided to concentrate on other marques, so this special Capri has now come onto the open market for the first time in 40 odd years . I've have known this car for nearly 30 years .. when it was discovered in a lockup in Ilford, where it had resided for some years previously . It was in remarkeably good order. The car is well known in Capri circles.. It was found, along with a MK1 RS 2000 by Gary White, who owned Suprmeme Motor Bodies in Wickford, who set about completely restoring the car to its current glory . Gary always insisted that this car was one of the pre production RS 3.1 cars, based on a GXL. Gary was always being pestered to sell the car, then a few years ago, health issues forced his hand, and it was sold,quietly, to a close friend, who enjoyed it for a short while , before I finally managed to acquire it from him.. A fantastic car and very rare in Olympic Blue. Fitted with a factory sunroof, and did originally have a vinyl roof .Gary restored it with a few modern upgrades,namely a 5 speed gearbox and Recaro Leather seats . This is by far the finest Capri I've ever had the priviledge to sell.. and we've had plenty . Its a superb car to drive and enjoy . As always , we will take a part exchange and can arrange delivery . Please call Andrew on 07836 226228 or email . Thank you for reading .
