    Hello & welcome to a new episode. In this week's episode we head to Portsmouth to go and record a legend of a barnfid, a FORD CAPRI 2.8 LASER.
    This is a permitted visit. The capri belonged to the owner's late father, who sadly departed early this year. Amy, his daughter, has reluctantly put the capri and many other vehicles up for auction with no reserve. This is a very rare opportunity to acquire, in my opinion, one of the cleanest examples. I've seen the ford capri is in exceptional condition, with one or two marks here and there. After all, this is a barn find, so it will come with characteristics from being laid dormant for many years. Having said that again, this Ford will clean up extremely well and will make someone a very happy owner. With thanks to Amy and her family for allowing me to come and do a video on her Father's Capri, And a huge thank you to Jonathan at (humbert & ellis auctions ltd) for thinking of me and getting me permission to do the episode too.

      @@MavAuto-Pete The 2.8 injection Capri was made from '81-'86. It was a four speed with check interior from '81 to early '83. Five speed from '83-'86 with Shark Grey interior in fabric then half leather from '84 to full leather in Dec '86.
      This is a July '81 car which makes this the earliest of the 2.8 injection produced. Many of the low numbered 'W' plates were press demonstrators so this is really is an early car.

    Hi imstokze don't normally comment. But this 2.8is up the road from where I live. Obviously not going to mention location. And car is completely genuine I can remember the farmer driving it must be probably 20 odd years ago. Everytime I passed him. He used to put his hand up. When I had my 2.8 injection Capri. The colour is cobolt blue over silver. But everything he had was kept immaculate just hope it goes to the right person and obviously will go for good money more than I can afford 👍

The upholstery needs work too. That is my favourite colour combination in a Capri 2.8 I hope who ever buys it returns it to it's former glory !

    Great video, good work sir. The Capri 2.8i is in pretty decent condition as a barn find and on a W plate too.
    I've got a similar 1982 Capri 2.8 injection on an X plate also a 4 Speed. They are pretty rare these days.
    I have to correct you on your description here though, as you incorrectly state it's a Capri 2.8i Laser. This Capri is a 2.8 injection powered by a Cologne V6 engine, it's NOT a Laser. The laser variants were only produced in 1.6 and 2.0 with 4 cylinder single Overhead Cam Pinto engines and with a carburettor. The Lasers didn't have fuel injection.😉
    Keep up the good work with the barn find discoveries 👍😁

    Extremely rare Capri 2.8i that, not only being on a W reg which only the very early ones were, of which there's probably just a handful left now. But the colour combo is also very rare as well, as it's Cobalt Blue over Strato Silver. Cobalt Blue being a 6 month production run colour only. I would have it if I had the room with the other Capris I've got. I would be interested to see how the auction goes.

    Abssolutely love Capris, prefer the Mk1's, but that looks almost mint, W = 80/81? I love your attitude to exploring, same as Beards, Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints, I really hope you get a lot more permissions for your explores.

      Thought the same, it dont add up. Earliest 2.8 was an X reg from 1982 onwards. Most early ones saw at time were Y August 82 to end of July 83. I would want to see log book.
      W reg August 1980 to July 81would have been the Essex 3ltr

    when these cars first came out I went into a huge yard where they were sitting waiting to be picked up & delivered to customers, i was about 19 at the time I had to have a shot in a couple of them, they were built in the BMC factory which was across the road from where they were parked in Bathgate West Lothian.

      It’s great it’s survived so well quite an incredible find. I had a really nice 1987 2.8i special in 1997 and even at only ten years old had to get the bodyshop to repair rust on the wings and front panel .

    Great video thanks.
    As somebody who was born in the late 1960's, these cars were the ones many aspired to, when I started driving aged 17.
    Personally I was more into Mk1 and Mk2 escorts, and always saw the Capri as an old mans car, a poor imitation of a yank muscle car.
    One thing I have to say though, that it is great condition for it's mileage. We think nothing of a car going over 100,000 miles now, or even 150,000.
    But back then, the average car was absolutely knackered at 70,000 and ready for the scrapper.

    My 2 car in 1977, was a 1971 ford Capri v6 gt it was a fast car, when I would bang 2 gear, the car would come off the ground and slide right a foot. Great Car.I sold it , to a man in some place in Europe. I wonder if its still On the road today,To think I sold that car for 3800 dollars back then, It was mint condition.I bought the car off a old couple from Germany, they lived and died here, It just went back home.

    Awesome!! What a find, beautiful. She looks just like my old one 😢 Except mine wasn't even in that good condition back in 94' Would love to buy this one, the old days.
    Poor drone :( Mines a different model or I would send you some spares.

    That is a mega early 2.8i, 3 litres were still in production then and on an X reg. Those early 2.8, blue check recaro seats are comfy as hell. That's needs restoring to original spec. I know where there is a few of them just sitting. Always a case of, "going do it up mate"..23 yrs later...they are still there! X3 3 litre MK3's in one garden! Ford haven't got a clue in bringing them back and would be a soulless ev-suv crossover piece of crap. I've had 46 Capri's, many 2.8s and tgey are a great drivers car, raw, pure and were a top winning race car they win everything until they brought the 2.8s out. They are an easy car to drive and so predictable...they handle great if you know how to drive.
