Diecast Car - 1/43 Ford Capri Mk23.0GhiaGold

COR VA15406 Corgi 1/43 Ford Capri Mk2 3.0 Ghia - Saturn Gold

This 1:43 Vanguards Ford Capri model is a replica of one built at Ford’s Cologne Plant in West Germany in January 1977. It was first registered on 2nd March 1977 as a dealer demonstrator by Ford main dealer, Cowies, Stoke, Staffordshire.
Cowies sold it to Kathleen Emery in July 1977 for Ł4,449, although she also part-exchanged her yellow 1974 Capri, which had covered 14,630 miles. Emery loved this car, which was a wedding present, and retained it until July 1995. It was then advertised in Classic and Sports Car magazine’s classifieds with an advert that said, ā€˜probably the finest original car of its type in existence, one lady owner from new, 26,000 miles, FSH, a beautiful original car in pristine condition’.
It was purchased by Yorkshire-based Capri enthusiast Andrew Richardson, who was so impressed with the car that he decided to meticulously detail it to concours condition. He rebuilt the suspension, replicating the factory’s spring-rate paint markings in the process, then had the wheels refurbished and fitted with new period-correct Pirelli CN36 tyres. He also had a small amount of paintwork done to eradicate some stone chips on the front and behind the rear wheel arches.
He kept a meticulous record of every job in a file and retained the car until May 2023. The resultant, perfect, as-new, 28,000-mile car was offered for sale by KGF Classic Cars and purchased in June 2024 by Greater Manchester-based Lee Davidson, a passionate Ford collector, who cherishes it.
