the ford capri was the trend setter.the grand father of most modern day cars.the capri was a european mustang wich made it a legend before it was introduced to the public.the mk1 became available to the public in between 1969 and 1974.over 1 million mk1 capris were built.some mk1 capris were made into european touring cars and did well celebrities such as jackie stewart and niki lauda raced them.
in 1974 the mk2 was introduced.The main difference with the Mark 2 was the switch to using a tailgate instead of a boot thereby opening the market to families with a need for more luggage space.Over 400,000 were built before the Mark 2 came to the end of it’s run.

The Mark 3 replaced the Mark 2 halfway through 1978.It was essentially just a cosmetic change to the existing body, incorporating more aerodynamic styling, front and rear spoilers and twin headlights.Only 300,000 of these Mark 3s were built but today they are by far the most popular models seen on our roads.In 1981 there was a significant change to the line-up. The ageing 3 litre engine was replaced with a 2.8 fuel injected version, essentially an uprated version of the Granada engine.Ford Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) built the new engine into an uprated body, with all new suspension, to produce an instant classic; the Capri 2.8 Injection.Until the advent of the Sierra Cosworth the 2.8 Injection was the fastest European Ford in production.As late as 1985 the Capri was still winning races with a 2.8 Injection seeing off all opposition in the Willhire 24-hour race at Snetterton. 3 other Capris were in the top 10.Capri production finally ended on the 19th December 1986 when the last of the 1038 Capri 280 ‘Brooklands’ special editions rolled off the production line.
finally ford have gone to work on a new capri called the ford visos we have no info on this new capri but from what weve seen it is a verysmart modern classic
