1985 Ford Capri Mk3 2.8i V6 'Special'
Specifications
Description
Nowadays making their way in the finest car collections, the Ford Capri gets you back in touch with how the basics of how cars handle!
The 2.8i featured numerous improvements over standard MkIII Capris including halogen headlamps, pepperpot alloys and a five-speed gearbox, with later 2.8i Special models (like this one) gaining a colour-coded front grille, half-leather interior, limited slip differential and seven spoke RS wheels.
Bar the top of the range 280 ‘Brooklands’, the 2.8-litre injection and 2.8i Special Capris are the ones to have. Though the 2.8i has less torque than the 3-litre Essex engine, it requires less maintenance and is more fuel efficient – perfect if you need reliable transport and not just a show queen. 160bhp may not seem a lot nowadays, but like so many cars, it’s the way the power is delivered that makes it such a hoot to drive.
ABOUT THIS CAR
- Low Mileage Example with only 95815 Miles - this has not been round.
- Amazingly, it still has its original Ford stereo casette player with original chrome tape button - very typical of the period.
- Recaro seats in amazing condition - a real feature of these cars.
- Still on its original three spoke Ford Steering wheel - something you don't often see on these cars nowadays.
- This car is full with its original Ford features from the period, which is how we like them.
- A proper GT Coupe with a big engine up front - this is a very lively car and lots of straightforward fun.
- An uncomplicated piece of machinery that drives beautifully
- Stunning rust free body and beautiful paintwork
- Interior immaculate - comes with factory sunroof
- Clean engine bay and as you may see from photos even the boot area is honest and original as.
- A very original example in stunning order - its a a bit like an Aston without the pretensions.
- This car was an owner import from the UK and was first registered in NZ in 1996.
- Not excluding that it may have had some touch ups over the years, looks to be a completely factory, unrestored, unmolested example.
These cars are becoming really sought after and hard to come by. With prices going up almost monthly, we suggest that you don't sit on your laurels waiting for the price to come down because it wont :). If anything, prices will only go up and saying to yourself, I should have bought it when I had the chance won't help either.
These final Capris are fine blends of low cost fun and distinct style. Seriously now, you can view a 2.8i as a seven-tenths Aston Martin. The promise of affordable fun continues to live on with the Capri.
Car will be sold WOF'd and registered if sold in New Zealand.

Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
