Capri Coupe

Vehicle details

Introduced in 1969, the Capri adapted the Mustang idea to the European market as an accessible coupe. Its long bonnet, short rear body and descending roofline created a sporting profile while retaining accommodation for four people and luggage. The engine is mounted longitudinally at the front and drives the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox. The standard 1.6-litre version uses an overhead-valve inline-four with a crossflow cylinder head. MacPherson struts and coil springs support the front, while the rear axle is located by leaf springs. A broad choice of engines and equipment allowed buyers to tailor the car to everyday transport or a more sporting character.
