1970 Mk1 Ford Capri 3000GT For Recommissioning

1970 Mk1 Ford Capri 3000GT imported from South Africa…

“The vehicle is not registered, but all taxes and duties were paid.  It’s easy to register and I will assist with this by completing all necessary forms for the winning bidder.  Ford Dating letter from South Africa and also ford dating letter from the SEOC (sporting escort owners club) confirming year of manufacture and that it is a 3000GT.

I imported the car from South Africa July 2021. It sat on my drive for a little while , then went into my workshop where it sat up until a couple of weeks ago. I bought it as a running vehicle, and it does run, sounds lovely goes into gear and drives backwards and forwards. It will need recommissioning mechanically. There is no handbrake cable but handbrake in place. The rear brakes will need doing, probably drums and brakes , cables etc. front brakes too. Bushes. Gear linkages will be needed, as whilst it goes into all gears, you wouldn’t have fun driving it like it is. There will be an element of wiring work. there’s an aftermarket ignition with no key so a new barrel and steering wheel surround will be needed as well as an indicator stalk (which I have).

I cleaned the vehicle today with the waterless wash and wax, and from the pics it looks pretty decent. Some of the paint work has faded, but can be polished out. Typical of all red cars. There are a few digs and a few small chips. The paintwork is ok, but long term needs addressing. A machine polish would improve it no end.”
