Here we have a very charming old MK1 Capri 1.3 L which has been in the same family since new. Its had 3 owners altogether and has been loved. Its completely solid and original underneath and a real survivor car. We have the V5 , 2 sets of key. There are some old MOTs with it and bills for work done. It had a fairly extensive recommission back in 2018 and has been used for a few shows since and garaged. Its only covered 48000 miles from new.History - The car was bought new in 1973 from Pontings of Andover by a Mr Leslie McIlroy for just under £1000. It was ordered in Marine Blue with Marquis interior. Leslie kept it for two years until he started a family and discovered the Capri was not very Pram friendly. He was initially going to trade it in but his cousin Cyril stepped in and made an offer for the car in 1975. He used it until around 94 when it was barn stored until 2011. At that point it was recommissioned and repainted by a garage in Thetford. When Cyril sadly passed away in 2018 the car was passed to his daughter, who had learnt to drive in it. A further recommission was done in 2018. Its done a few shows since, won a couple of awards and appeared in the Capri Club 2013 Calendar.

Body - Very solid and original car. Never been welded underneath and still in very good order. all original panels as far as we can see. Car was repainted in its original Marine blue in about 2012, but is again showing its age a little. Its perfectly useable and looks good but on closer inspection there are a few marks. Theres a crack on the paint on roof at the front.
Overall though a very charming original car.

Mechanics - Car starts runs and drives very well. It ticksover, pulls through the gears with no flatspots and in all honestly runs better than some stuff we have had at twice or three times the money. Gearbox and clutch are fine. Brakes do stop you but pedal is a little long, but we will try giving them a bleed. Car is very smooth on test drive and great for its age. its only done 48000 miles and only done 500 miles in last 30 years.

Interior - Original doorcards in good order. Seats were retrimmed in 2012 and are still lovely. Good original headlining. Carpet is good. Crack on dashtop`.

Wheels - Original steels and hubcaps. Tyres are in really good order.

This is a great survivor car with good history. You are welcome to come and see the car. We have a ramp so you can look underneath. Delivery can be arranged if required. please ask for a quote.
