Ford Capri 3.0 Ghia

The Capri 3.0 Ghia was the top-of-the-range Mk3, pairing the 3.0-litre V6 with the Ghia's more luxurious trim. Most left the factory with the C3 automatic, so this one is unusual: a four-speed manual, a no-cost special-order option rarely chosen. It is finished in Signal Orange with Tan Verona fabric seats, a combination the dealer describes as close to unique.

The car was built in Cologne in September 1978 and first registered in Edinburgh in February 1979. The current owner bought it at auction in 1981, sold it on, then bought it back around 1990. It was stored for roughly 20 years before a professional restoration began in 2010, which is documented in the history file along with magazine features and an owner's testimonial. It shows 13,072 miles.

The paint and interior are described as very tidy. The original radio-cassette works but needs repair. A major service, fuel system service and brake overhaul were carried out in July, and new Uniroyal tyres were fitted. It has MOT to September 2027 and is HPI clear.
