Ok it was found in a garage not a barn, however it really has been in there for 36years with one owner and only covered 36,000 from new.
Known affectively as project Carla, the MK3 Capri began its design phase in 1976. Due to the projects tight budget, it ended up being a little more than a face-lifted version of the MK2. With updates being limited to a set of re designed quad headlights, a pair of new wings, a new bonnet, fresh bumpers and updated paint/interior options.
In all ford spent around £480,000 on the development of the third generation Capri, which is small in comparison to the £20 million worth of development allocated for the first generation model. To make up for the limited budget, for masked the Capris age through well-considered cash conscious trickery, repainting the MK2's chrome bumpers and exterior trim in a more contemporary satin black and using existing tooling to create the MK3's trademark "hooded" Bonnet.
This is a MK3 with a special story. She had been parked in a garage since 1987. Only seeing daylight for a couple of hours in 2016 when the owner sent it off for MOT (They couldn't drive themselves). It passed on only needing a set of tyres and exhaust. However, it went straight back in and has only come out after that owner unfortunately passed away.
We have uncovered it and offered it for sale in its very original condition.
The car was registered on 11th January 1984. Sold By page of Epsom to Mr Sutton. The only true owner. Sadly he passed in 1985 and their car passed to his wife who couldn't drive. that is where the story begins and ends. It sat being used sporadically by relatives for 2 years until, in 1987 it eventually ended up in the garage we removed it from this week. It's only covered 36000 from new, all of those in the 1980's. It's a time warp. It's a unicorn.
It starts, it runs and drives.
If you love capri's this has got to be the one to have right?
This car Did sell in our September auction 2023.
