1983 FORD CAPRI

1983 Ford Capri 2.8 Injection MK3 – Diamond White

Fully Restored to Original Specification | 98,000 Genuine Miles | MOT & Tax Exempt

This outstanding 1983 Ford Capri 2.8 Injection MK3 represents a rare opportunity to own a meticulously restored example of one of Britain’s most iconic sports coupés. Finished in its original Diamond White, the car has undergone an extensive refurbishment and rebuild, returning it to exceptional, near-factory condition throughout.

Body & Exterior

The vehicle has received a complete professional respray in Diamond White, including the exterior panels, under-bonnet area, and door edges/shuts. The bodywork is in superb order, with no dents, scratches, stone chips, or blemishes. All exterior trim has been renewed or refurbished to original specification. Importantly, the car has never been welded, confirming its excellent structural integrity and rust-free history.

Mechanical & Engine

The 2.8-litre V6 engine was completely stripped and rebuilt. The cylinder heads were fully refurbished and converted to run on unleaded fuel, while the original bores and pistons remain in excellent condition following a previous rebuild. The entire engine bay has been reconditioned to factory standards, complemented by a full service with new filters and fluids.

Further mechanical enhancements include:

Full stainless-steel exhaust systems with stainless-steel 4-branch manifolds

All new brake components, linings, and springs throughout

Fully Polybushed suspension for sharper handling and long-term durability

The underneath of this vehicle is in exceptional condition

Wheels & Tyres

The alloys are original Ford-specification pepperpots that have been sandblasted, acid-bathed & powder-coated. They have then been fitted with new tyres, including the spare wheel.

Interior

The interior features the desirable original Shark Grey Recaro seats, which remain in excellent condition with all original trim polished and refreshed. A new headlining has been fitted, and the original carpets have been professionally cleaned and tidied, remaining free from burns, tears, or significant wear.

Summary

This Capri has benefited from approximately £15,000 of specialist parts, labour, and restoration work, with receipts and videos to confirm. The result is a highly presentable, mechanically sound, and genuinely usable classic with period originality.
