1982 80s eighties Maroon British Ford Capri 2792cc petrol coupe, fuel-injected V6
The Ford Capri was designed as the European equivalent of the Ford Mustang. First unveiled to the public in 1969, it was marketed as a cheap, fast and fun two-plus-two coupe, aimed at the blue-collar working man. It was a highly successful model for Ford, remaining in production well into the eighties, and selling almost units across its 17-year production run. Marketed under the tagline “the car you’ve always promised yourself,” the Capri enjoyed huge success across Europe and the UK during its lifetime, and still maintains a strong fan-base to this day. It celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2019, so we thought we’d take a canter through the Ford Capri’s history and give you a run-down of its illustrious past.
