		Racing was important to the Ford company and they it was no coincidence that a Capri was included in a saloon car rally which was to be televised on World of Sport around the same time as it's launch.
		The Capri was available in 1.3, 1.6, 2.0, and in GT version, later in September 1969 the 3000 GT was added the first special edition was the Vista orange with Boss dress up louvres at side and rear windows just 1200 were made.
		The final Capri was the RS3.1 was seen for the first time at the Scottish Motor Show in Glasgow November 1973 it is suggested that Ford only built around 250 of these cars as the oil crisis loomed and it became an embarrassment to own such a petrol thirsty vehicle.

		All Capris were convertibles, with an optional removable steel hardtop, Capris were manufactured from 1989-1994 in the Melbourne Australia, Broadmeadows assembly plant & marketed primarily in Australia & the United States.
		Ford hoped a Sporty convertible would encourage younger/female customers into Mercury dealerships, where the customer base was primarily older/males.
		Ford halted production when the Capri failed to meet its marketing goals & believed that future demand for two seat convertibles in general, was on the decline.

	Classic Cars: Ford Capri RS
		Ford Capri RS The Ford Capri, "The car you always promised yourself" was Europe's answer to the Ford Mustang.
		Ford's driver line-up usually consisted of Mass, Glemser, Fitpatrick and Birrell, the latter being killed in an F2 accident at Rouen.
		The Capri II was due to a clever homologation act (yes, Ford had learned) quite unbeatable, the Capri III even more so.

	CLASSIC CARS FORD CAPRI: A sports car for the common man Independent, The (London) - Find Articles
		The Capri was a Mustang for Europe, and the Ford Mustang itself was a nifty, compact sporty car aimed at America's baby-boom generation of cash- rich singletons.
		Ford's advertising slogan for the Capri's January 1969 launch - "The Car You Always Promised Yourself" - was as sharp as the car's vinyl roof and ersatz alloy wheels.
		When Ford parked a gleaming new Capri outside every railway station in the south-east, the ruse worked brilliantly: weary commuters decided that this was the time to make good on that promise to themselves.

	:::: Zakspeed Ford Capri INTRODUCTION ::::
		Depending on your point of view, the Ford Capri is either an automotive icon or a slightly vulgar blue-collar 'boy-racer' - the wheels of choice for every flash Essex boy in Britain.
		In the following years, Ford continued to be represented competitively in both the ETC and DRM by the Zakspeed-built Group 2 and then (from 1977 onwards) Group 5 versions of the MKII Escort.
		In the six seasons that it was raced and continually developed, the Zakspeed Capri became most associated with Klaus Ludwig who literally steam-rollered the opposition in 1981 to take the DRM title for Ford.

	Ford Capri Mk1 1970
		I drove the Capri down there the next day, and a lady paid me a nice compliment saying it was the nicest car there, despite their warehouse being full of Mercedes, BMW and Lexus cars.
		Federal Capris all had twin round headlamps with sealed beam units in, whereas the only British Capris to use twin round headlamps were the Mk1 GXL models (1973-74) and the Mk3s (1978-87).
		Federal Capri batteries are squat and square, and sit on the left hand side of the engine bay, whereas mine was tall, skinny and long, and sat on the right hand side.

		The Capri proved highly successful, with 400,000 cars sold until 1970, and Ford revised it in 1972, to become what is known by enthusiasts as the Capri “Bis”.

	Ford Capri in Miniature
		The Capri's styling was contemporary (with some rather obvious cues borrowed from the Mustang) and unlike most of the dowdy and/or fussy vehicles that Dagenham and Cologne had previously produced.
		The first Capri Matchbox offered was #54, a stock version that was painted in a number of particularly tasteless (even for the early 1970s) colors such as a solid metallic magenta or a pink body complemented by a matte fl bonnet (hood).
		By the time the Capri III was introduced, many of the diecast toy manufacturers that had modeled the first generation car were now either defunct or in serious financial difficulty.

	Cologne V-6 Information for Capri owners
		Ford US could never figure out what to do with this engine, (one of the few American applications was the often forgotten mid-engined Mustang I show car) so they handed it off to Ford Germany.
		It was used in Ford Sierras, Ford (Merkur) Scorpios, and Ford Ranger pickup trucks, and Ford Bronco II SUVs in the 1980s.
		While best known for its application in the Ford's European Capri from 1974-83, it was also used in the 1974-78 Mustang II, and several Ford USA "Fox" chassis cars (including the Mercury Capri) from 1979-80.

	Ford Taunus V4 engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The German V4 was built in the Cologne plant and powered the Ford Taunus and German versions of the Consul, Granada and Transit.
		The V4 was later expanded into the Ford Cologne V6 engine that is used in the Ford Capri and many other Ford cars.
		SAAB 96 with V6 Since the engine mounts and gearbox connections are identical between the Ford Cologne V6 engine and the V4, some vintage V4 Saab 96s were modified to take a V6, for rally racing, although this dramatically changed the weight distribution and steering characteristics.

		But after finally managing to offload the 1.6 I was able to invest in a Capri which could be mentioned in the same breath as fast - the 2.8I.
		But at least it had power steering - parking a vehicle that long in a car park without it, was like trying to thread an elephant through the eye of a needle.
		On the open road, the Capri is one of the best cars to drive, with spot on steering, and an only slightly worrying tendancy to lose the back end given any

		Ford dared to compare the car with the BMW 3.0 CS Coupe, the Mercedes Benz 350 SL Coupe and the Aston Martin DBS V8.
		Which is why the Ford Transit, Granada (which used the same 3.0 litre engine was the Capri), and especially its fastback brother, the Consul GT, were U-Glam.
		Vinyl roof (or factory-fitted peel-back sunroof), an eight-track cartridge stereo, fl and chrome sports wheels, warm leatherette seats and a side view which, at 100 paces, could pass for an American motor, the Granada had it all.
