Wanted list

If you want to be on my Wanted list, Capri 280 wanted that is, then please email me. I am deleting all my current list apart from those who have contacted me during April 2008. My 'old' list is getting out of date and I am finding that people are not replying when I have found them a Capri 280. So, from 21st April 2008 my current list will be scrapped.

 

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.............

Make: Ford
Model: Capri 28i
Colour: Rosso Red
Price: Asking £12,000
Miles: 56,101
Description:

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.

Dr B has seen this car twice and featured it at Ford Fair 2004. Also seen at NEC in 2007. An awesome car - instant show winner.

Price reflects the quality of work and the finish. Give the current owner Mick a call on 07940 937221 day and 01509 650655.

 

There won't be another 2.8i like this anywhere again so be quick.

Colour: Brooklands Green
Price: POA
Miles: 438 miles - average per year from new
Description:

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)

Year: 1987 E
Make: Ford
Model: Capri 280 TT
Colour: Brooklands Green
Price: POA call 07974 000857
Miles: 42,000
Description:

For the ultimate enthusiast.

My ex-240 bhp Capri 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.

As the Para's say '99% need not apply'

Capri 280 Brooklands

SOLD

and another 280 sold

 

 

 

 

Year: 1987
Make: Ford
Model: Capri 280
Colour: Brooklands Green
Price:

Miles: 85,000
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!

 

SOLD
