⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

Developed for racing, the RS3100 is a rare Fast Ford that has a genuine pedigree and thirst for speed.

The Ford Capri had already placed itself in the nation's hearts by the time the car started making waves in the world of motorsport. Europe's answer to the Mustang, the Capri was available from 1969 and became an instant hit, thanks to Ford's clever marketing, but also its reputation of durability, ease of use, availability and sheer number of options and configurations available. Ford Advanced Vehicle Operations in Halewood was taking notice of the German-built RS2600's success in the touring car championships and its successor was announced in September 1973. As a homologation special, only 250 RS3100 were produced, all in RHD and available in just seven colours. Powered by the uprated Essex V6 3,098cc, it was lighter and more powerful than its predecessor. To help cope with the increased dynamics, its handling was aided by revised suspension geometry, upgraded brakes and that distinctive ducktail rear spoiler.

This 1974 example is finished in "Sebring Red" and has been in the hands of the current owner since 1999. Verified as an original RS3100, it is standard with a handful of reversible modifications. Neatly presented, it offers the new owner a solid and well-cherished car that could be further improved. Naturally, it is UK road tax and MOT exempt, since our visit Eugene has had a full new set of tyres fitted, a new set of rear shocks and an MOT has been carried out which is valid until 12-12-2025. The car has also been garaged over the last ~26 years which helps to explain the condition today.
