Contact: me by pm or just post a message
Only 3 previous owners
4 speed manual
Jupiter Red over Strato Silver, Cream interior and vinyl roof
Very original overall condition
Original Radio
Mileage very low for the age at 52,000 (will change as this is my daily)
Ziebart rustproofed from new - never welded - doesnt need any welding - solid underneath.
At the recent MOT the tester was amazed how solid everything was but he did add one advisory for slight corrosion (nearside front chassis rail) but this was very very minor
Everything electrical works.
Interior in great condition
Headlining mint
Vinyl roof mint
Runs great and very comfortable (the car and I have done several several hundred mile journeys with ease – even going on the Classic Ford tour to France last year which was about 650 miles over the weekend)
Has had the following done in the last year ish:
All rear suspension bushes changed for new Polybushes
New rear springs
New rear shocks
New brake cylinders & shoes
New front suspension top & bottom bushes
New rollbar drop links
1 new brake caliper
New brake master cylinder.
Replacement refurbished 32/36 Webber carb
New alternator
New coil
Refurbished (improved over standard black) Bosch Distributer
New points and coil
New NGK plugs.
New Leads
Oil/Air/Fuel filters changed. Classic 20/50 oil used.
New performance air filter
New antifreeze.
New wipers all round.
New battery.
Only things that let it down is the paint (Laquer peel has spoiled the finish, rattle can laquer and kurust applied to stop the weather getting at it) & the bumper chrome isnt brilliant. I had a few issue with the carb but all sorted now (replacement fitted). Pulls very slightly to the left (meant to buy front Polybush set but haven’t got round to it) and lets a bit of rain in when it’s bad weather (passenger footwell) Not too bad at all for a 34 year old
Alloys fitted in pics on (Capri 6j X 13 with 185/70 tyres) are going on my next car but I could be persuaded to leave them on at extra cost
It’s up for sale on it’s original steels (with the chrome embellishers) I would have taken pics with those on but I got a rare moment of sunshine so we rushed out to take some photos in the park!
I’ll be taking the modern head unit out and replacing the original radio too
It’s been a pleasure to own this car for the last year and a bit, I’d be keeping hold of it but the wife must be obeyed (she wants a Sierra so all is not lost!) but it’s up for sale
It's in South London
Offers around £1500 ono
I have added 6 months tax (until end of October now)
