Ford Capri Mk3 2.0 Ghia (BYA610X)


My Ford Capri Mk3 2.0 Ghia
Purchased August 2005, Sold October 2005

I had been looking out for a Capri for a while, but was struggling to find one that was just right. Again, just like the Cortina finding a 2.0 was the biggest problem. The majority were 1.6, 2.8 or 3.0's

After looking for about 6 months I saw this Capri for sale just down the road with a sign in the window. I had seen it around as well as at Harpenden Classics on the common. After seeing it I phoned up to get more details on the spec...

2.8i front stuts

lowered 1.5" all round

polybushed rear end

braided hoses

4 branch manifold

Sierra 5 speed box

1/2 leather Recaros

Red/Orange respray

Black vinyl roof

In the end it had to go, as I needed the money to buy a more practical car although it definitely will not be my last Capri! The next one I think will be more of a project car for me, as I want to try fitting a YB Cossie, but keep the standard 13" wheels etc...
