From the seller: “Ford Capri 3.0 S on W plate registered on April 1981
A unique opportunity to own a genuine 3.0S which has been within a garage since 1993
This Capri is a 1981 W reg Essex v6 3.0S. A rare car indeed.
A barn find you would think had all been found by now.
The Capri is complete, standard and unmolested.
The capri has not turned a wheel under its own power since 93 and is in very good shape considering the lenght of time laid up with no attention. The usual areas of rust for a capri are in very good shape,
chassis rails front to rear, rear spring hangers front and rear, boot floor, front inner wings and the whole of the floor is very good and highly unusual.”

There are restoration projects, there are brave restoration projects, and then there is HTM 457F. We found this battered Ford Escort sitting among an extraordinary collection of old cars in Cambridgeshire, and it’s fair to say its best days appear to be some considerable distance behind it. The front end is badly damaged. Corrosion ...
