- When the Capri was launched, in 1969, its no-nonsense handling and roadholding
and, in 3-litre form, its impressive performance, singled it out from the bland and
anonymous sedans of the late 1960s.
- Capris were straightforward, easy to drive and simple to maintain, and their
popularity has been sustained largely because of this.
- Their simplicity of design and inherent ruggedness makes them ideal candidates for
DIY restoration.
- The booming owners' club movement and the continuing availability of spare parts
ensures that these cars will have a strong following for many years to come.
