For many Ford fans, the Mk3 is the definitive Capri. So long-lived yet so similar to the original — in style, layout and even performance — and still a car that can be driven with pride among today’s technological marvels.
In fact, the Capri’s simplicity was what kept it cost-effective; its place in British culture was what kept it relevant. Today, you need only mention TV’s The Professionals, and you’re instantly taken back to Bodie’s Mk3 Capri 3.0S skidding around side streets.
