Mind-blowing collection of 80s fast Fords up for auction

A dream collection of 1980s ‘fast Fords’ is set to go under the hammer.

British auction house Collecting Cars say they were the pride and joy of one anonymous “gentleman.”

They explain: “In his quest to seek out the very best of breed, he paid particular attention to those cars with award-winning provenance on the concours circuit, and a number of these performance heroes come with an impressive haul of trophies.

“What connects the cars is that they are almost all incredibly low mileage for their age, and that they are offered in remarkably original condition, with only a few of the cars having aftermarket modifications.”

Among the highlights are a 46,000-mile 1988 Ford Capri 280 Brooklands, one of just 1,038 built and fresh from a recommissioning service.
