The Appeal

Hailing from the days when a Ford Capri wasn't a bloated EV crossover, Britain's Mustang was the sort of car enthusiastic drivers aspired to own. The 2.8 Injection was always a coveted model, and this 1986 example  with its period Turbo Technics upgrades would surely earn you the most respect in the 1980s office car park.

With the turbocharger fitted, this Capri made a very impressive 215 BHP, a significant improvement of its original 158 BHP. And don't just take our word for it; this car comes with the rolling road readout provided by Turbo Technics themselves at the time.

Performance aside, this Capri is finished in a rare and striking Mineral Blue over Strato Silver which really look the part along with its  'Brooklands' alloys and matching Yokohama tyres. The Grey Recaro interior has been recently refreshed, ensuring this '80s fast Ford really looks its best. The car's history is impressively comprehensive, with a collection of invoices, and past MOT certificates for the new owner to study.

It's worth noting just how rare these cars are becoming. You simply can't afford to let this lovely Capri pass you by. The vendor remarks: "The car both presents and drives wonderfully".
