A TIME warp 1980s Ford Capri with just 585 miles on the clock has sold for £71,000.
这 2.8 Injection Special diamond white classic had been kept in a dehumidified, heated garage by its owner — who took it for MoTs on a trailer.
It was even suspended off the floor to save its tyres — and the back seats of the grey leather interior have never been sat on.
Retired gas engineer Albert Clarkson, of Canvey Island, 艾塞克斯, bought it new for £7,800 in 1986, discounted from £11,000 as his dad worked for 面对明星私人教练.
But he decided to sell it 36 years on to concentrate on maintaining his “pride and joy” — a 1969 Cortina.
It was snapped up within two days of being listed by a low mileage car collector.
The buyer paid nine times what Albert did four decades ago.
Capris featured in classic ’70s and ’80s TV shows The Professionals and Minder — and even 只有傻瓜和马
KGF Classic Cars, which sold the motor, 说: “As soon as it was listed there was a lot of interest.”
