AI Listing Summary

This is a 1987 Ford Capri 280 Brooklands, number 819 of 1,038 built, with 83,380 miles. It features a well-documented history, a professional refinish in 1999-2000, and is presented with its original components, making it a collectible example.

This aligns with a 'Very Good' rating, as it may have slight wear visible but has been well-maintained since the refinishing.
