A CLASSIC 1981 Ford Capri in stunning condition is the subject of a bidding war that could see the retro motor fetch a HUGE price.
The sporty Capri S model has covered just 54k miles and potential buyers have already pushed the price up to £18,500 – with three days of the auction still left to go.

With very few S versions still left in roadworthy condition in the UK, it means the price will no doubt spiral upwards as enthusiasts try to get their hands on a piece of Ford history.
Amazingly, the current owner has had the car for around 28 years and it’s clearly been well kept, with lots of originality and character.
Powered by a 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine, the Capri produces 136bhp, while carandclassic.com – who are handling the auction – said: “The engine is detailed to perfection and under the car is clean as well with minimal signs of even normal corrosion caused by road use.”
The interior is equally as impressive, with almost no blemishes at all, and the tartan upholstery looks outstanding, along with the gauges, switches, gear stick and steering wheel – all of which look as good as new.
Carandclassic.com commented: “A truly brilliant MkIII Capri S… this is possibly one of the finest examples still on the road today. No expense has been spared preserving this fine example of the marque. A vehicle not to be missed!”
The auction ends on June 16th.
