Ford's Capri was launched at the 1969 Brussels Motor Show.
The Fastback Coupe was intended to do for Europe what the Mustang had done for the USA - i.e.
it was our 'pony' car.
The monocoque body featured independent front suspension by MacPherson strut and a live axle with leaf springs at the rear.
Worthwhile improvements came with the MkII models of 1974 and the quadruple headlamp MkIII cars introduced in 1978.
Debuting in 1984, the Ford Capri 2.8i Special boasted an enviable specification including a limited-slip differential, five-speed manual gearbox, seven-spoke alloy wheels, half-leather Recaro front seats and colour coded headlamp surrounds / mirrors.
Weighing less than a modern hatchback and with some 160bhp / 163lbft of torque on tap courtesy of its 2792cc V6 engine, the four-seater Coupe was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8.2 seconds and 126mph.
Great fun to drive with engaging, rear-wheel drive handling, the 2.8i Special has long had a cult following.
