1972 Ford Capri | Hawes and Gayle, North Yorkshire

A 1972 Ford Capri, the long-bonnet fastback coupé Ford introduced in 1969 as a smaller European answer to the American pony car. The Mk1 was offered with engines from compact fours up to a V6, and it is liked for its low, stretched profile. This car is Red with a Black interior, a bold, simple pairing that reads clearly against stone, brick or tarmac. Its 3.0-litre engine sits at the top of the Mk1 range, and the car is in excellent condition. It seats four, so a small group can travel together. The long bonnet and sloping roofline give photographers and fashion and editorial shoots a clean side profile to work with. They also suit 1970s film, TV and music video sets, and the car holds its own as a display piece at events. Couples can hire it for a wedding or a birthday too. It is based in Hawes and Gayle, North Yorkshire.
