VA10824 Corgi Vanguards Ford Capri Mk3 2.0S, Jupiter Red

The Capri modelled was initially purchased by West Midlands-based Henry Adams on 22nd March 1983, from Brooklyn Ford, Redditch, Worcestershire. He’d initially placed an order for a black Capri 2.8 Injection but returned to Brooklyns to discuss the cost and instead bought this unregistered car off the showroom floor from salesman David Stringer. 

It cost £6,000 and Henry had it transported to Protectol, Wolverhampton, to be rust-proofed. He was working at West Bromwich A.A. Vehicle Inspection Centre at the time, and they checked the cavities had been filled using an endoscope. This resulted in it being transported back to Protectol twice more for further treatment until he was certain the entire car was protected.

Henry kept it covered in a garage, checked the weather forecast to avoid using it when raining, and serviced it himself, changing the oil every 1000 miles. He sold it in April 1990 to his long-standing friend, enthusiast Barry Dunn, who used it sparingly. After Barry passed away, his sister Liz gave lifelong Capri enthusiast and Barry’s friend, West Midlands-based Daniel Ball, first refusal and he took ownership in September 2021.

He recommissioned it and won the Capri Club International’s (CCI) 2023 UK National Rally. Consequently, it was nominated for the prestigious Meguiar's Concours at the NEC Classic Car Show. Amazingly, Henry Adams spotted the Capri, which has still done less than 12,000 miles, at a CCI event and the pair have become friends.
