The Capri was Ford of Europe's interpretation of their US parent company's Mustang, a 4-seater coupe with choice of engine, first with 1300 or 1600cc in-line 4-cylinder, then 2000 V4 or 3000cc V6. Later RS Capris had 150bhp V6s underbonnet. Front discs were standard for all Capris. A Mk2 hatchback shell appeared in 1974 and a 4-headlamp Mk3 during 1978. The final Capri came off the Ford Cologne line in 1986.
