Originally, the Ford Capri dates back to 1972, however, this version was built in the mid-80s.
It was constructed using two crushed cars that were once used to teach students about repairing accident damage at a technical school.
Since this time, it was re-registered in August 1986 with a new age-related number plate and then fully restored by 2016.
Previously, this car came in white, but now it’s a flashy Daytona Yellow.
It flaunts a 2.0-litre Ford Sierra Pinto engine with power steering and a five-speed gearbox.
Along with an electronic distributor and a stainless steel exhaust.
Hidden in the boot are lots of spare parts – making repairs and maintenance less time-consuming.
As stated on its listing, it has “no known issues” and runs and drives normally.
Its MoT did expire in 2022, but as a historic vehicle, it does not need annual testing.
It has only had one owner, as recorded on the logbook and comes with a variety of important documents.
Such as a write-up of its history from the mid-70s onwards, and the 2021 Classic Car Weekly article on the car.
It also has its V5C, DVLA and Ford correspondence related to the re-registration.
Along with assorted invoices and MoT certificates.
Its new owner can also use a USB stick to see the photos of its restoration, along with general images and a mileage spreadsheet from May 2018 to October 2024.
The vehicle was sold for £8,748 by Anglia Car Auctions in King’s Lynn, Norfolk.
