Know of a Capri
280 for sale? Low miles, excellent condition?
If you put
me in touch with a seller and I buy the car I will pay you a finders
fee of £300
(terms and conditions:
must not be a relative of yours!! and only if I haven't seen it already)
See Home
Page for details of a new initiative that could well take off
regarding 'project' Capri 280's.
Note:
Something that has occurred in the past couple of months is that I
am being offered Capri 280's at prices that are way above what they
are worth. When I ask why so high, I am told that Capri 280's seem
to fetch high prices on my site!
Hello
- there's a reason for that. I spend months preparing the cars and
eliminating virtually every blemish, restoring leather, paintwork,
wheels, trim etc etc.
It takes
a lot of time and money to get the results I do.
If you
have a Capri 280 for sale and it's not in show winning condition then
expect it's value to be much less than a restored car.
The main reason that
Capri 280's have been raised to the level they are is because this
site and my work has brought them there. So, what I'm saying is, just
because there's a 280 badge on your car does not mean it's suddenly
worth much more.
The majority of 280's
I go to see are average. Some are very special but most are well used
and I walk away from more than I purchase.
8. Basically all the work is done or didn't need doing.
So if you want a 'project' 280 don't buy one of mine!
Probably the best
Capri 280's in the world..............
Brookies always in
the pipeline - if you want to be included in the Wanteds list - just
pop me an email stating your requirements and budget. thanks Dr B.
Factoid: The
Governments relentless attack on our disposable income has meant
a number of things - higher inflation, drop in house prices,
over 160 more stealth taxes, higher fuel, higher energy, pensions
destroyed & drop in standard of living and...... it will
get worse! Most of this was avoidable as will be shown one day.
However, it's not all bad news. There's at least one commodity
that's maintaining it's value - a classic Ford. To be specific
a classic Capri 280. Some folk are virtually investing in a
280 as either a nest-egg or at least an asset that can be released
for cash if circumstances dictate.
Capri 280's of the standard on this site are a good investment
and they give the driving experience a boost when all we hear
is bad news. There's one thing that this government hasn't penalised
us for yet and that is the width of your grin! Only a matter
of time til 'Grinning with intent' is an arrestable
offence (well tuning to Radio 2, reaching for your glasses,
scratching yer nose etc will soon render you liable to incarceration.
Smile on, get a Capri 280 and drive it with
a 20-20 grin on your chops. If you are stopped by the Attitude
Police just say you have a Grinning Permit
signed by Dr Brooklands - that ought to do it. See you in jail.............

Description:
Offered here is a chance
to own possibly the lowest mileage Capri 280 for sale
in the world today.
This car has covered 3,450 miles from new. That's a
yearly average of around 160.
The car is totally original. It is period correct and
authentic.
The current owner bought it summer '07 and now realises
he has no time to use it. He considers it unfair to
lock it away in his heated garage and thereby denying
anyone else from seeing or enjoying the car.
Hence it is offered exclusively here.
The next owner will be someone who appreciates the
rarity of such an example of 280 history and who has
the space and budget to accommodate such a vehicle.
If you are a person who meets the requirements then
please call Andy on ********** to discuss
viewing and possibly buying this motoring legend.
Andy is a shrewd businessman but also appreciates that
his Capri 280 ought to go to someone else now who can
fully exploit this lovely motor car.
"This 1987 Capri 280 (Brooklands) is one of the
best cars I have ever seen in a lifetime of classic
car ownership! I have owned this car for the last 8
months and have only driven it 50 yards from one of
my garages to the other. The reason is that the car
is in absolutely “Concourse” condition!"
The previous owner, bought the car in 2004 and did
a rolling full nut and bolt restoration over the next
3 years. (Photographs available) Since then it has won
virtually every show it has entered, including last
years NEC Classic car, where it was the main car, on
the prize winning Capri Club stand, where I first saw
it."
If you are a genuine buyer please call Chris Parnham
on ***********
Ed Note: I saw this 280 at NEC in November
and would have bought it myself it was that good looking!
(I promised my wife I would only come back
with a crimping tool from the NEC )The
only reason this car is on my website is because it
looks like one of mine! Dr B.
Here is a chance to own
one of the lowest miles and most stunning Capri 280's
in the land. It is ready to show or drive. Interior
is exquisite, coachwork beautiful beyond......
This car was dry stored for most of it's life. Came
to me in 2007. Made into this fabulous specimen and
bought previously by a person whom I have just supplied
another car to. Hence this one is back and after a year
done only 500 miles or so. Ready to be owned by an enthusiast
right now.
The pictures don't really do it justice.
Has new stainless Janspeed system. Drives and sounds
like a thoroughbred classic. Turns heads everywhere
it goes.
12 months MOT. You won't find one like this anywhere
else is my guess.
All original Ford untouched panels. Everything
original except Janspeed exhausts.
If you buy this car and enter it in it's first
Show, and it doesn't win an award or a trophy at it's
first attempt - just let me know and I'll send you £50
- no quibble - how's that for confidence?

A departure from the usual
on my site. A unique exception and only because this is
probably the best Capri 2.8i in the UK if not the world!!
A potted history.
D240 was a family runabout until 1994 when it was totally
stripped to a shell and rebuilt using brand new ford parts
or originals that were repainted. This was to allow the
car to be used in the Autoglym Concours D'Elegance,in
1995 and 1996 it won its regional finals and reached the
grand finals at NEC.in 1997 it was parked up under a cloth
in a garage and left until bought 5 years ago.
Since then it has been taken to shows and has done very
well - in 2007 it won a gold award at the Capri Club Nationals
and best in show at Classic Wonderland, also Best in Show
at Capri Day at Crich. It was also featured in the Concours
Corner section of RetroFord magazine in 2007 and was called
"the best 2.8 capri in the country" service
records and the service book are included as well as all
old mots.

Another super rare Capri 280.
One owner from new. Original bill of sale.
Authentic and genuine car.
Car is stunning. Has been virtually unused since 1990.
18 years in storage meant minor scuffs and pretty dull
lacquer - so, true to Dr B traditions car has been totally
re-finished in original Brooklands Green. All pictures
will show my needless, but usual quest for perfection!
Everything is genuine and original except the 2007 coachwork
finish.
Awesome car ready for the shows or weekend cruising.
Maiden voyage today 21st April 07. Super performance.
Silent running. Feels like it isn't run in yet. A time-warp
experience.
I will fit a full brand
new Janspeed Sports exhaust system (inc manifolds) if
wanted - just add £600 to price.
Use the Contacts page to arrange
for pics and a test drive.
This car will be at NEC in
November - Classic Motor Show if not sold before then
(mind you, I said that about the last 2 low milers and
they've gone)

For the ultimate enthusiast.
My ex-240 bhpCapri 280 - probably the best
example of the Turbo Technics car.
One of about 6 ever made. Prepared
in 2006 to extremely high standards.
This car is wicked. Pure and simple.
Disrespect it and you are history.
Comes with full Thatcham CAT 1
alarm, Tracker (Lifetime subscription) , fully re-finished
leather, paint, wheels. New almost everything in the fuel
department - just to be certain of excellence.
This is the F16 version. Turbo
Technics in Northants were commissioned to fit the full
240 bhp system inc. special exhaust in 1989 - when car
was fully run in and ready for the work to be carried
out inc. engine compression, gearbox uprating etc etc.
The car in 200 bhp mode is demonstrably
quicker than any F26 or F9 Turbo Technics car. Been proved.
In 240 mode it is ballistic to the point of terrifying.
Don't believe me? Come for a test drive.
A Capri 280 like no other in the U.K. This car is not
cheap and the price reflects performance, condition and
rarity.
If any of this sounds familiar you're right - Dr B owned
this car last year and due to reasons beyond the new owners
control Dr B has it to sell again. Reasons unconnected
to the car itself I must add!!
Good document history. Bills of sale etc.
Chance of a lifetime I reckon. I've never seen another
240 bhp out there - just been told there were about 6
made and they were the 230 F16 version.
Call only if you are deadly serious about owning this
piece of classic performance motoring history.

Description:
This is one of the better
Capri 280's around. This car has been lovingly kept at
no regard to cost. Affectionately known as 'Honey' she
has been treated to new paint and the leather re-coloured
and refurbed where necessary.
Honey sports a Ford genuine RS front spoiler and rear
Turbo tail.
Interior and exterior are gorgeous and the car gets admiring
glances wherever she goes.
Chris has had this car for around 6 years and being very
much in the 'Ford know' has only ever used genuine Ford
stuff on the car (with the exception of the front wings
- that have been replaced with replica versions and look
the biz).
This Capri 280 is genuinely a most reluctant sale but
being realistic she has to go to make way for another
Capri......
No point in offering a silly price - the car is worth
the money and is a huge cut above the ebay specials you
see on a weekly basis.
You will find he is a 'diamond geezer' who will be totally
up front with you and will probably strike a great deal
with you. All you need is the budget and the desire to
own this car pretty soon.
Need spares and genuine Ford stuff
for Honey in the future? Well you came to the right bloke
'coz Chris is the Man - just ask him.......
Caution: he knows his car and will
not suffer canvassers, tyre-kickers and wannabees very
gladly!! If you want to sample the delights of 'Honey'
just make the call - trust me!
