Ford Capri (United Kingdom, 1978-1986)

Ford started by showing a heavy revision of the Mk2 Capri at the 1976 Geneva Show, which was internally known as the “Project Carla”. This model would later be launched as the third generation Ford Capri and became available in March 1978.

The most important upgrades seen on the new model were mainly better aerodynamics then the previous Mk2 model which allowed for better performance and fuel economy. This car was produced at Ford’s European factories in the United Kingdom, Belgium and Germany. However, sales were decreasing quickly and the American carmaker wasn’t able to reverse the situation, so the Ford Capri was ultimately taken off the markets in December 1986, completing a sum of 1.886.647 copies produced.
