Listed at £7,400 on eBay, the 1983 beautiful vintage banger is described as “an ideal easy restoration project”.

It has only been driven by three previous owners who have taken excellent care of the legendary model.

The Capri was designed to be the Ford Mustang of Europe, and became one of the most sought after cars in the UK.

Nearly 1.9 million units were sold between 1968 and 1986, making it one of Ford’s most successful models.

Astonishingly, this car has racked up a measly 29,000 miles and is already in good enough condition to hit the road – with “some minor recommissioning work”.

The seller, from Sawbridgeworth, Hertforshire, wrote: “The values of Capris have consistently been rising, so it is nice to see an example that is in a good enough condition to restore without needing hugely involved work.”

They also state the classic car “starts, drives and stops” in its current condition.

While there is some wear and tear to the exterior, the paintwork doesn’t require any major revamp.
