Message me for a full spec and more photos.

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a brand new Ford Capri, this is as close as it gets
(We shall not speak of that monstrosity that Ford released this year…)

What started life as a humble 1.6L model has been meticulously restored and transformed
into a show-quality machine over the course of 7 years.
Every nut, bolt, and bracket has been either refurbished or replaced.

I bought this car back in 2016, the MK3 Capri was my dream car and I’ve always wanted one.
Irish car, built in the Ford Cork factory in the 70s
Early Mk3 with MK2 shell (no sunroof – a rare find and avoids common rust trap)
Original brown log book with full owner history
Fully restored from bare steel – 100+ photo album available on request
Over 7 years of work, thousands of hours, and no expense spared
Built as a personal dream car – not originally intended for sale
Reluctant sale due to life changes – only serious offers entertained
It comes with the original brown log book which shows you all the previous owners.

You’re not just buying a Capri—you’re buying a modernized classic that drives, stops,
and handles like no other. It’s essentially a brand-new Ford Capri,
re-engineered with a deep respect for heritage and an eye toward modern reliability and performance.
