Basic information and history

The 1975 Ford Capri 1600 is an icon among sporty coupes and has long been a favorite among car enthusiasts thanks to its elegant design, lightweight body and fine driving characteristics. Here is a unique chance to acquire a rare, well-restored example with a fascinating history - the car was bought back by the son of the family who wanted to relive childhood memories in the back seat and restore his father's Capri to original condition. The car has undergone an extensive and very expensive renovation to reach almost factory-new standards - over 200,000 SEK has been invested in parts and work.
