Talk:Ford Capri

message: Hi Folks!
In my original article I've made the assertion that the original 1969 Capri was based on the current British Cortina of the time.
I'm pretty certain this is fact (or close to it) but I've not found any evidence so far to back this up.
Does any Capri fans know any better?  My expertise is more 80's onwards Fords.
Cheers!

Australian Capris? I know of the small convertible Capri that the article discusses, but you also see numbers of the much older Mk 1- type Capri in Australia. Are these private imports, are was the car built/sold here? The implication seems to be that the original Capri wasn't sold in Australia, but maybe it only means the Mk 2. Can someone clarify, it's a bit confusing. Graham 23:55, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  US History 

message: The article is a little confusing about the engines used in the mk1. It says that the range was topped by the Cologne V6 2.0L. Then later it says that the UK retained the the V4 2.0L when the Pintos were introduced. Something seems wrong here.
I thought that in the early days the small Kent cross flows were used and V4 2.0 Essex engine was being used. Later the Pinto was introduced to replace the V4. Not sure about the 1.6.  I do know for sure that with Cortinas, they used 1.3 and 1.6 crossflows and the 2.0 Pinto until the 1972 facelift when the 1.6 Pinto was introduced to replace the 1.6 crossflow. 87.194.16.118 (talk) 12:45, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Capri vs MX-5
I have modified the wording under the Australian Built SA30, the Capri was not designed compete with the MX-5 it cannot of been, due to the fact they were developed at the same time, released on the same year at a different price.
Capri Quality
Hearsay is not evidence, as it can be argued that consumer affairs programs beat up the Capri more than was justified. Many arguments could be put forward placing it as a very reliable vehicle, one is that laser upon which most parts are sourced was considered relaible, only the roof caused concerns, arguably due to customer expectations.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.186.250.8 (talk) 05:51, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Should we add that this was the first production car with alloy wheels as standard? A colleague has pointed out that he thinks that it was either the RS2600 or the Jensen Interceptor, also in 1971.  The Triumph Dolomite page claims this accolade albeit for a few years later, I've asked the question on both the other cars' disucssion pages.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.111.185.26 (talk) 09:56, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: The All New Ford Capri??

message: The following paragraph could do with some more clarification.
'The retail price of a US specification Capri in the US was less than the retail price of an Australian specification Capri in Australia. Approximately 90% of production was exported to the US and the increased shipping costs were offset by the reduced cost of manufacturing the "mainstream" left hand drive model compared with the small volume right hand drive model for the Australian market.'
Why was it cheaper to manufacture in LHD when from what I understand from this article, The car was designed in Australia, based on a car from Japan? unless I'm reading it wrong, surely a car designed in colaboration in two RHD territories would be designed in RHD and I'd think it more likely that a US model was cheaper for other reasons. can anyone cite reasonable evidence to back up the above?(Morcus (talk) 03:09, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

message: The RS2600 road cars did not have the aluminium heads developed and manufactured by Harry Weslake. They had standard cast iron heads but an air collector and inlet manifolding made from aluminium. Light alloy heads were only used on actual race cars.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.40.134.91 (talk) 07:46, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
