Description
The MK3 3. 0S is one of the most desirable within the complete Ford Capri lineage. Notably, it played a starring role in the 70s/ 80s TV series the “The Professionals”, with both leading characters Bodie and Doyle, having one a piece!
The 3 litre “Essex V6” 3. 0S combined solid build quality with healthy performance. Indeed, the MK3 3. 0S managed a top speed of 122mph and 0-60mph in only 8. 5 seconds, which in 1978, was the kind of performance normally associated with significantly more expensive sports cars.
Supplied new by Soans of Leamington Spa and first registered in October 1978, this car is totally original in every way, and still wears its original dealer number plates and rear hatch dealer sticker.
This immaculate matching numbers Capri Mk3 3. 0S, is a rare and desirable non sunroof model and has covered just 26, 000 miles from new (backed up by service and MOT history). Panel gaps, paint finish and underside, suggest it's never been subject to a restoration and as such, may well be one of the finest examples of a true "survivor" MK3 3. 0S Capri currently available.
The exceptional condition of the car is testament to a pampered life lead in the hands of fastidious collectors’, wanting to have the very best example of this iconic fast Ford.
Having just come from such a collector, the car was put through a comprehensive recommissioning service, following a period of storage. MOT expires August 2024.
The appetite for "Fast Fords" continues to be strong and this is an exceptionally rare find, represents a “once in a lifetime opportunity” for the discerning collector and/ or Ford enthusiast, who is keen to dazzle the crowds and/ or win concours trophies on the show scene.
