| Additional Info: Other engine options included anything from 1.3 litres upto 3.0 litres. The popular 138bhp 3.0S ran until 1981 (0-60 in 8.8 secs) and was used in the TV series “The Professionals”. The 2.8i replaced the 3.0 litre and brought back fuel injection and was originally available with a 4 speed box and then a 5 speed from 1983. A 2.8 Injection Special became available in 1984 with half leather, LSD and seven spoke alloys. At the end of the Capri production Ford released the Brooklands 280 Capri, which had a LSD, leather Recaro interior and larger alloys. |
