The vendor has supplied the following:

The chassis no. age identifier ("US") indicates it was March 1978 built - the 1st cars were all registered as "Capri II" with the DVLA as Ford internally only considered the Mk3, as we know it today, to be a facelift of the Mk2. Mk3 construction began in March '78.

Only 5 previous keepers on the V5 - previously registered "1 GHW" in the 1990's with a Liverpool owner.

In 2009 the car has a full engine rebuild - has only covered approx. 1500 miles covered since the rebuild.
