1976 Ford Capri JPS Tribute
The Ford Capri has long been regarded as “the European Mustang,” delivering sporty coupe styling and accessible performance throughout the 1970s. By the mid-decade, the Capri had become a cult classic, with models like this 1976 example continuing to carry its reputation as a stylish yet practical two-door performance car.
This particular car is a well-presented tribute to the John Player Special (JPS) racing liveries made famous by Lotus in Formula 1 during the 1970s. Finished in classic black with gold detailing, the look is both unmistakable and iconic, instantly evoking the glamour and prestige of one of motorsport’s most memorable eras. Under the bonnet lies a 2.8-litre V6 paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox, offering period-correct performance and character. With only 43,665 miles indicated, it has clearly been cherished, further supported by its multiple show trophies and a workshop manual included in the sale.
Beyond its road presence, the Capri holds a significant cultural footprint, particularly in motorsport and popular media. The JPS aesthetic adds an extra layer of desirability, linking this tribute to one of the most glamorous sponsorships in racing history. As interest in classic European coupes continues to grow, examples like this—especially with such unique presentation—make for a compelling collectible.
