Provenance..
Introduced in 1981, the Capri 2.8 Injection represented the ultimate development of Ford’s long-running Capri model line — combining accessible performance with distinctive styling.
Powered by a fuel-injected 2.8-litre V6 engine, the car delivered strong performance for its time while retaining the practicality and affordability that defined the Capri’s success in the UK market.
By the mid-1980s, the 2.8 Injection had become the definitive Capri, representing the final evolution of Ford’s iconic fastback coupé before production came to an end.
Chassis WF0CXXGAECGR55298, registered D751 KVG, stands today as an exceptionally well-preserved example of this model.

History..
First registered in April 1987, D751 KVG was purchased new by its original owner as a birthday present to herself, having traded in her Ford Cortina.
The car was used sparingly throughout its early life, reportedly due to the owner’s partner discouraging regular use, resulting in the remarkably low mileage seen today.
A trusted local specialist maintained the car annually, carrying out servicing and MOT testing. Over time, this relationship developed into a personal one, with the owner eventually marrying the individual who had cared for the car.
The Capri remained in her ownership until 2016, when it was sold to the current vendor and became part of a private collection.
Since acquisition, the car has been run occasionally but used minimally, typically only for its annual MOT before returning to storage.
Maintenance & Documentation..
The car is accompanied by an extensive and highly detailed history file including:
Original purchase invoice
Original Ford book pack
Numerous MOT certificates
Service records
Historic tax discs
Letter of provenance from the original owner confirming mileage history
Additional original items including dealer-supplied accessories
This documentation provides strong support for the car’s exceptionally low mileage and continuous, careful ownership.
Originality..
D751 KVG remains an outstandingly original example throughout.
Key original features include:
Original factory paintwork
Original decals
Original Recaro interior in near-new condition

Highly original finishes throughout
Comprehensive documentation archive
Careful long-term ownership and storage
The car has been lightly exercised in recent years but remains fundamentally preserved in its original state.
Summary..
A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally original Ford Capri 2.8 Injection with just 2,402 miles from new.
With minimal ownership, extensive documentation and preservation within a respected collection, D751 KVG represents a true reference example of one of Ford’s most recognisable road cars.
Increasingly difficult to replicate, it stands as a genuine time-capsule example of the Capri in its final and most developed form.
