PRICE DROP - 1967 Mercury Comet Capri

PRICE REDUCTION...... 1967 Mercury Comet Capri 289 - 4.7 V8 (3rd gen) For MPG: Tramore -> Kilkenny -> Tramore is about 15 euro of unleaded petrol. Following America’s fashion for huge (by European standards) saloons in the 60s, the third generation of the Comet grew in size from a small to a “mid-size” car. It offered a comfortable and spacious way to waft along the interstates, with a huge V8 offering an appropriately burbly soundtrack to proceedings. • Finished in factory correct 'Aqua’ trim • Twin bench layout, with all the upholstery looking to be in excellent condition • Period lap belts are fitted to the front and rear benches  • Headlining looks good, with no sagging, staining or damage we could see • Dark grey carpets appear to be in good order • Retro modern stereo with Bluetooth • Interior trim and brightwork appears to be all present and correct, and wears a healthy level of natural patination that hints at the vehicle’s age • The boot is vast, finished with a liner and carrying a full-size spare wheel • Overall the paint and bodywork shows well, with no notable damage, corrosion or marking to be seen • Black stripes run the length of the lower sides • The brightwork and badging shows well, with some light pitting and blemishing commensurate with the car’s age, which nicely adds to the vehicle’s character • The front windscreen features a period upper-tint in complementary green • Correct 14-inch period wheels are fitted, finished in a smart black and polished metal combination and shod with what appear to be new tyres • Underneath the bodywork looks to be in very good order, having been refinished and painted when the car was restored, we could see no damage or corrosion to the sills, floor pans or fuel tank Finished in a very smart specification and with a recent restoration, a V8-powered Comet Capri is not one to be missed.
