The difference between driving and motoring', said the Ford advert at the time. The MK I Capri started life in 1969 and went right up to 1974. Well what can you say about the range, there was so many you could chose from. The 1.3 base model sold for just £890 (cost you a bit more than that now). Engine sizes went from the 1.3 right up to 3.0, with different types such as L (luxury), X (extra equipment), R (rally, not many of these were sold by all accounts) and GT (grand tourer). In 1972 the MK I Capri went through a change, it had the 'Power-buldge' bonnet fitted to the GT range, and in September 1972 went through the 'Facelift'. Facelift changes were that the ride was softened but suspension was stiffened, all Capri's had the 'Power-bulge' bonnet, more powerful headlights, with the exception of the 3.0 GXL's they had the four round headlights. How about being completely unique and fancy having one without a roof, (see the Crayford link). The MK I finished production in August 1973, and was the only Capri to have a boot.  For Germany, they  went there own way with the V6 RS2600. A total of 1,172,900 MK I Capri's were built. One of the most sort after Capri's is a MK I RS3100. The 3.0 ltr engine used in the GT was the same unit used in the MK IV Zephyr / Zodiac producing 128bhp, the fastest production Ford built in Britain.
