I don't see how the last Capri ever made can be registered on a D plate, when there are plenty of E plates and a few F plates out and about.
Unless of course FoMoCo registered it immediately and every other Capri that has a later registration sat in the car parks and dealers for up to a year or so afterwards.....unlikely I think??
Whatever.......bloody good cars!! A set of lowering blocks on the rear, RS2000 uprated front spings and a set of Yokohama A008's and thy dn't hndle as badly as many might have you believe
Sound lovely too with Janspeed exhausts fitted

Odd to think now, but Brookies took a while to shift: remember this was 1987 when the 205GTi and Gold GTi were running rings around the outdated, rather naff, cart sprung 70's designed Capri.
And Ford did some pretty odd things. Mine is a 1983 2.8i facelifted 5 speeder, yet the guy who looks after it (who has forgotten more about Capri's than most people know) asked me when it had been reshelled. Seeing as I was there on the day it rolled out of the showroom, I assured him that it never has been. Turns out the shell on my car is a hacked about 3.0S item, that had no doubt been lying around for some time as they discontinued production of the 3.0 two years previously..

There were a couple of 280s reg on an F plate have seen one of them so can confirm that (rehabilitated former Capri fanatic).
RE their popularity - back in 1987 they were an expensive motor roughly cost x1.5 what an Escort RS turbo would set you back. Hardly a surprise they took a while to shift
Back in its day a 2.8 capri was hailed as a real drivers car. It just got left behind with the times.
Original RS turbo in white now that was a car as well!
