This book tells the story of a successful, ground-breaking, range of sporting Ford cars. From 1969, when the 'Car You Always Promised Yourself' was introduced, and for nearly twenty years after that, the Capri range set new engineering, styling and marketing standards. In that period, nearly two million Capris were sold, and Ford's rivals struggled to match it. Graham Robson's affectionate narrative covers the complete history of these versatile machines - not only in the showrooms and in the marketplace, but on the race tracks where so many successes were gained.

Capri;The Sexy European,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ford Capri (Crowood Autoclassics) (Hardcover)
This a a good book concerning the history of the European Ford or Mercury Capri. Covers the Capri from its introduction in 1969 to the Capri II and Capri III hatchbacks produced until 1986.Graham Robson is considered to be a renowned British auto writer and does a nice job like always on this one. This volume is much more concentrated with the British variations than their German counterparts but also has info on the US models as well. It is not nearly in depth as the Jeremy Walton book published in the 80's, but it is worth having if you are a Capri enthusiast. There are many nice color photos; some of which I have not seen before.
