capri280 at 40!

Hard to believe I know but yes it will soon be 40 years since the final Ford Capri came off the Assembly line at the Niehl factory plant in Köln, Germany.

The capri280 Group is a Club dedicated to These final 1038 Special Limited Edition Capris produced to mark the end of nearly 2 Million Cars produced over an 18 year period.

Ford built the 280 during December 1986 and shipped all of them to the UK in January, announcing them to Great Fanfare to the motoring Media in February 1987. So 2027 Marks 40 years since this historic event.

capri280 Group will celebrate the 40th and our own 10th anniversary throughout the year with a Special Event during July. Our Event is open to all Capri owners and Capri Clubs. Initial invitation to Capri Clubs in Europe has produced much interest as we plan a 3 day show.

We are still formulating plans for our Event, but the chosen site has much available Entertainment for all of the family. There will be trophies awarded in various categories, plus evening entertainment with music and meals and a bar. ONCE we agree with the venue we will place a link on our Website.
