1972 Ford Capri 1st Gen 3000GT
A modified Ford Capri 3000GT MkI, one of an estimated 31 examples currently road-registered in the UK, this car has been comprehensively upgraded to a high standard. Its original Essex V6 has been replaced by a turbocharged and fuel-injected 3.1-litre unit mated to a five-speed Borg Warner T5 gearbox, complemented by uprated suspension, enhanced braking, a full roll cage, and Compomotive split-rim alloys. Finished in Sebring Red with RS3100 graphics, it is road-registered yet capable of sprint and hillclimb use.
