The seller offers for sale this 1973 Ford Capri 1600 XL, powered by a 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission.
This Capri 1600 XL has been in private ownership and was used predominantly in classic car rallying, including regularity events.

The car carries rally stickers which the seller confirms can be removed.
The Ford Capri was produced from 1968 to 1986 and became one of Ford Europe’s most successful models, conceived as a European counterpart to the Ford Mustang. The 1973 Capri belonged to the first-generation range, offered in a variety of engine configurations from 1.3 to 3.0 litres. The XL trim level represented a mid-range specification, featuring a more complete equipment level than the base models. The 1600 variant with its Kent-derived engine offered a balance of economy and performance that made it popular across Europe.

However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description.
