Footnotes

Inspired by the success of the Mustang 'pony car' in the USA, Ford introduced the Capri - 'The car you've always promised yourself' - to the European market in 1968. The Capri's imaginative fastback styling was a relatively new departure for the 'Blue Oval', but beneath the skin the car remained typically Ford, sharing engines, gearboxes and many other components with the rest of the range. The first major revision arrived in 1974 in the form of the MkII, which benefited from a more practical hatchback body restyled along cleaner lines. Built from 1978 to 1987, the final (MkIII) 'New Look' Capri featured a new quad-headlight front end with chin spoiler, rubbing strakes on the flanks and black external 'brightwork'.

Built in Cologne, Germany like all later Capris, this MkIII has the 2.0-litre four-cylinder overhead-cam 'Pinto' engine. We are advised by the vendor that it has been off the road for a number of years and will, therefor, require re-commissioning prior to further use. The vendor hopes to have got the car running by time of sale. Accompanying documentation consists of a V5 registration document. The car is sold strictly as viewed.
