EXTERIOR
The legendary Ford Capri 2.8 Injection needs no introduction, and amongst the most special of cars is the Turbo Technics conversion, a semi-official, recognised and very highly regarded Ford upgrade. This example is finished in Ford Cardinal Red, (Code R2), boasting a stunning deep gloss shine and uniform finish. The outstanding paintwork is virtually unmarked and the underside is very clean.

INTERIOR
The interior of this 2.8 Injection evokes a sense of true nostalgia with the supportive Recaro seats looking fantastic finished in the grey high-grade leather with ‘Strobe’ pattern fabric centre panels. The driver’s outer bolster is firm and fully intact with no visual wear. The deep pile Grey carpeting is spotless as are the door cards. The original parcel shelf is straight and uncut and there is no damage to the headlining. Incredibly, the dashboard has no cracks and all controls and switchgear are excellent. The original digital Ford radio cassette is fitted, (not connected), with a hidden modern item professionally installed in the glove box.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Turbo Technics, was founded in 1981 by Geoffrey Kershaw who’s most famous development prior was the Saab Turbo of the 1970’s. The firm developed a turbo conversion based on Fords Capri 2.8 Injection, from which standard car credentials of 158bhp, 130mph top speed and 0-60mph in 7.9 seconds were significantly improved upon with this full F16 kit to develop 230bhp, (a notable increase on the standard F9 200bhp kit which achieved 143mph top speed and 0-60mph in 6.5 seconds). A Turbo Technics plate affixed to the inner nearside wing in the spotless engine bay confirms the conversion carried out by them in 1987 complete with Serial number. The uprated 5 speed gearbox is direct and progression through the range is effortless.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
This Capri is fitted with rare 7J x 15 7-spoke 280 Brooklands alloy wheels in perfect condition and with correct Ford badged centre caps. Matching Yokohama 195/50 R15 tyres have masses of tread remaining with a full size matching spare. The hydraulic dual-line servo-assisted brakes with ventilated front discs and a rear disc conversion stop the car quickly and in a straight line.

HISTORY FILE
Registered new on 1st September 1983, the supplying Ford Main Dealer was C.H. Soans and Sons of Leamington Spa. When the car was four years old it was taken to Turbo Technics in Northampton for their specialist Engineers to carry out the full blown Type F16 conversion, the most expensive and powerful upgrade available. The Turbo Technics information plate affixed to the inner nearside wing confirms the completion date by them of the 1st June 1987. There are Turbo Technics invoices for service work and parts throughout the 1990’s with the most recent to the firm in 2015 to refurbish the TT093 Turbo. Furthermore, a colossal history file contains many receipts and invoices throughout as well as MOT certificates dating back to the early 1990’s. Continually enjoyed until 2009/10 when the car was subject to an incredible full strip down and rebuild into the very best donor shell that could be found. Subsequently the car has been enjoyed on the show circuit with awards and respected hard copy publication features. Completing the history file is the original service book, handbooks and operating guides as well as comprehensive Turbo Technics original literature. An exhilarating machine in every respect.

MOT November 2022, HPI Clear.

Back in the late eighties, a 2.8 Injection Capri was the one to have.

[stevenhoughton]

Wow I would love to own it I have just paid 17000 for a Focus ST3 wish I'd saved my money and got that instead. Beautiful car

[steventomkins]

does nobody think the oil pressure was low when revved that should be at least 50 psi

[petertrinder]

Lovely colour, you cannot beat the old Fords for style and performance.

[porschea]

Saw one of these recently in Sydney, Australia of all places, same colour Turbo technics conversion as well.

[AL-PAKA]

i'd lose the bonnet vents are they from an rs turbo?

[soylentgreennewdealtimeshare]

Most importantly, it still has its original cassette-radio.

[russellcooper]

Love the Capri. May sound strange but I would rather drive a 1.3 or 1.6L.

[jaggass]

You've got to love a 2.8i Capri and have never forgotten how tappety Cologne V6's are. Ford gave the Capri a wonderful send off with the Brooklands model as well.

[Guns_Turbos_Action]

Such a beautiful example of a very special Capri. I'm sure the new owner must be very pleased. Part of an amazing collection I imagine.

I see many have complained about the bonnet vents, but from what I remember as a kid in the '80s, many of the Turbo technics cars had them. It seemed like the right thing to do as all turbo Fords had them by then (RS Turbos, Cosworths), and if you saw bonnet vents on a Capri you knew it meant business 😎 Of course some just fitted them anyway 😁 but it was always the sign of a turbo'd Ford 👍

My late Dad had bought a new 1985 2.8i Special in Black, which hasn't been on the road since about 1996 and I am now the custodian of the car and in the process of restoring it.

[pjssat]

[modmod]

Grail car back in the day….and still today.😎

[NorthernMouse]

I wish the dude would Stop slamming the doors like that! Show that machine the Respect it deserves 😤

[DoughnutsInspace]

Only Ford I could stare at all day. Can I ask why you hold you're arm up like superman about to take off at the end of the video? Not being funny, it's just that sometimes I notice you don't do it and like the red socks its a bit like a signature move.

[stephenevans]

What a shame about the bonnet vents!. Suppose whoever fitted them would never have known todays value !!

[YllaStar]

Nimbus grey half leather, those seats were the best l ever sat in.
Very tempted.
( Owned XJS, TTR, RX7, ).

[paullacey]

[weallfollowmanutd]
