He recommissioned the car when he returned to the UK, and it was inspected by the Capri Mk1 Owners Club in 2009 who declared it to be, “an especially unique example of the Capri Mk1 facelift”, because of its amazing original condition, unusual specification and perfect Tan Trim vinyl interior. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe offered it for sale, with obvious regret, in 2015 when it had still only covered 49,000 miles.
