1970 Ford Capri 3000 GT - Orange - 20,852 Miles - 3.0 Litre V6, 4-Speed Manual
Overview
The Ford Capri arrived in 1969 as a European-market sports coupe that captured the spirit of affordable performance and stylish motoring. This 1970 example represents the first generation of a model that would become an icon of 1970s automotive culture. The Capri's compact dimensions, nimble handling, and available V6 engine made it a genuine driver's car, and it remains one of the most celebrated classics of the era. This particular vehicle is powered by the desirable 3.0-litre V6 engine, delivering strong performance and the distinctive exhaust note that defines the Capri experience.
Finished in orange, this Capri presents as a well-maintained classic with the unmistakable styling that made the model famous. The vendor advises the vehicle is not finished in its original factory colour, having been repainted orange. The body panels present well overall, while the classic long bonnet, short rear deck and fastback-inspired roofline continue to make the Capri one of the most recognisable sports coupes of its era. Indicating 20,852 miles on the odometer, this example offers an engaging classic driving experience through its 4-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel-drive layout.
The interior is trimmed in black vinyl, not leather, retaining the period-correct appearance expected of a classic Capri. The dashboard features the traditional round instrument cluster, while the manual controls and simple layout provide the analogue driving experience enthusiasts appreciate. Buyers are encouraged to inspect the vehicle to satisfy themselves as to its originality, cosmetic condition and mechanical condition prior to bidding.
Condition
The vehicle presents well overall for its age, with cosmetic wear consistent with a classic vehicle. The orange paintwork presents well, while the black vinyl interior shows age-appropriate wear. Buyers should undertake their own inspection to determine the overall cosmetic and mechanical condition prior to bidding.
