The limited-edition 280 Brooklands was the last iteration of the Capri, bringing to an end a 20-year model lineage
Originally badged as the Capri 500, the name was changed to Capri 280 and some 1, 038 examples were ultimately built
They were only available in Brooklands Green and consequently they have become known as Brooklands Capris
Based on the 2. 8 Injection Special, the Brooklands boasted larger 15-inch alloy wheels and the fully-optioned interior was trimmed in Raven Black leather
Powered by a Cologne V6 engine developing 160bhp with a 5-speed gearbox, limited-slip differential and power rack and pinion steering
Destined to be an instant classic, the Brooklands Capri quickly sold out and they command a significant premium today
This unrestored example comes from 10 years current ownership with just three former registered keepers
Just 27, 891 miles indicated which our vendor believes to be correct, supported by its 'online' MOT history back to February 2006 at 26, 249 miles
MOT until May 2025 issued with 'no advisories'.
