Hi guys, I'm a member of a car club and one of our guys has had his car stolen.

From Rettendon, Near Chelmsford Essex..... Ford Capri 2.8 injection
Reg No C849 JHJ. Nimbus Grey
Can you watch out for it ta, it could end up anywhere.

Not many of these on the road now so should be easy to spot.

Contact Bruce on 07806769025 or me on 07741056308
Any help appreciated

None at all according to howmanyleft.co.uk (type in a car model and it says how many are currently registered in the UK), but 230'ish if its also called a Capri 280.

I wonder how many of the last ones made are left.

Were they 2.8 British Racing Green?

They were "Brooklands" Green. Model was actually called Capri 280 but was nicknamed a Brooklands (Brookie) because of the colour.

There's about 600 of them left. 4 of them in our club like the one above.

Doesn't that just show ALL the injection models though, not just any of a particular model ? Can't find the 2.8i listed.
