1969 Ford Capri | Bath, North Somerset

The Ford Capri is the fastback coupé Ford unveiled in January 1969 as a European answer to the American pony car. A long bonnet and sloping roofline sit on Cortina-based mechanicals, and that profile is what people remember. This car is finished in green with a black interior, in very good condition. It is an early-production car with a 1600cc engine. The colour stands out against the dark cabin, and the long nose and short tail give a clean line from the side. Film and television productions get a late-1960s or 1970s car with the right shape for the period. Photographers and fashion and editorial teams have a strong colour and simple fastback lines to work with, and advertising shoots get a profile that reads clearly in frame. Weddings and personal hires can use it as a characterful alternative to a limousine. It is based in Bath, North Somerset.
