Inspired by the success of the Ford Mustang “pony car” in the USA, Ford
UK launched “The Car You Always Promised Yourself” in 1969 and it was an
instant hit, with its long bonnet, sleek 2+2 coupé body, and low stance.
For 1974, Ford launched the Capri II, with a new smooth body style,
engines ranging from 1300 to 3000cc, and a plush Ghia version of the
3-litre model. In 1978 came the Capri Mk3 with yet more refinement and a
four-headlamp nose. These classic Fords now have an almost fanatical
following, supported by some very active owner’s clubs. Good examples
are eagerly sought, and with prices rising restoration has become a very
viable proposition. An astonishing number of variants of the Capri Mk2
and Mk3 were offered, so they really need to be identified.
Factory-Original Ford Capri Mk II & Mk III, companion to our 2017 title
Factory-Original Ford Capri Mk I, does the job, taking the reader right
through the production period and pinning down the correct factory
specifications, equipment and finishes across the range. This
information is backed up by 300 specially commissioned colour
photographs of outstanding examples of the cars.
This originality guide covers the Ford Capri Mk II 7 Mk III, 1974-1987.
