The Project

This 1985 Ford Capri MK3 2.8 Injection arrived at our Carrosserie workshop in March 2022 for full body and paintwork restoration.

Initially, the car was taken back to it’s original bare metal. At this stage our fabrication team rectified numerous corrosion issues, before it was then passed on to our paintwork team for the body to be fully prepped and sprayed ready for its final original two tone blue and silver paint.

12th October 2022: Bodywork/Doors fully prepped/sprayed ready for original two tone blue and silver paint.

27th October 2022: Body and doors have been painted in the original two tone blue and silver and is currently being polished.

10th November 2022: Owner has viewed the car for the first time as it was sent straight to Carrosserie after purchase and he is very happy with the work so far.

19th January 2023: Paintwork completed and stickers have been applied. Works are 90% complete with just a few minor things to finish before the owner can collect.

The Capri was marketed as ‘the car you always promised yourself’, but as the 1970s progressed, it became softer and less desirable. But as the Capri’s character arc continued to move, it was given one final hurrah – the Cologne V6-powered 2.8 Injection.

Friendly, helpful, extremely knowledgeable, patient enough to explain the processes and reasons for doing things and highlighted even more how approachable the team are. They tried to accommodate our needs and requests to get our beloved old riley back on the road as soon as possible despite the ups and downs that were thrown our way and into the teams path! We could not have wished to deal with a more personable company after encountering some other teams that really made a botch of stuff, seemed uncommitted and were not professional at all. Carrosserie as a team were totally the opposite . . would we recommend them ? ABSOLUTELY !!! We would not go anywhere else now, THANK YOU TO Steve, Neil, Graham and Nicola . . Oh and Karen who spilled the beans about the the birthday surprised to my partner (whose car it is ) . but made the experience all the more special when a bottle of wine was presented as well as a treat to Simon for his birthday AND made it all the more worth dealing with the team ! THANK YOU AGAIN !!!

My car was the subject of some body and paint repairs here in Spring 2024, to address corrosion plus some substandard paintwork. An annual service was also carried out. There was good responsive communications, advice, and attention to detail throughout, to ensure a high quality, durable result, with the final paintwork being indistinguishable from factory finish, and easily better than any franchised dealership repairs. If you are invested in your classic car, want to make it last, with an exemplary finish to be proud of, then you need look no further.

I can't recommend Carrosserie highly enough, the service was exemplary from start to finish and the workmanship is second to none. I highly recommend giving the team a call for any work you need doing to your classic car, no matter what it is, you will not be disappointed!
