Up for sale or for a swap / part ex is my 1984 / A reg Ford Capri 2.8 injection.


10 months MOT, 4 months tax, 5 speed manual, 4 brand new tyres, twin Janspeed exhausts (sounds awesome), no history but all the bills from the time I've owned it. The guy I got it from had owned it nearly 10 years but accidentally chucked out all the paperwork including the logbook when he moved. I applied for the V5 from DVLA when I bought it and have that in my name.


The car had been in a barn in storage for around 6 years when I got it. To get her back up and running I've put 4 new tyres on, new waterpump and thermostat, new bumpers, track control arms and new brakes plus lots of service type parts. I've also just got hold of some genuine Ford velour material in the correct colour to repair the inevitable worn seat bolster that all Ford Recaro seats seem to have.


I had intended to keep it as I love Capri's and they seem a good investment now as prices of the more desirable models like the 2.8 injection are rising, but got the chance to buy a really nice VW Camper this week and I can't keep both.


I would like to swap for a Mini valued around £2295 - I've got a Cooper at the moment and my son is using my 1970 Clubman Estate but wants something newer (I think he meand faster ;) ) so would SWAP for a more modern Mini up to around the same value - no projects and needs to have an MOT so my son can use it straight away.

Thanks for looking

It will probably be for sale when I have the replacement lined up.
It's an early one (H reg), 65k miles which I think is genuine as it had one 'old boy' owner from 1970 to 2010.
