AI Listing Summary
This Ford Capri boasts an impressive racing history, having been driven by HRH Prince Michael of Kent, Tom Walkinshaw, and Barry Sheene. Recently mechanically rebuilt to its '74/75 Group 1 spec, it presents a unique opportunity for collectors or historic racing enthusiasts, though it remains in a cosmetically unrestored condition.
Condition
6
The car is described as mechanically rebuilt to '74/75 Group 1 spec and runs/drives, but is otherwise untouched and used for shows. It's not on the road and has a 'sound but shabby' appearance. This suggests moderate wear with the need for some reconditioning.
