    Ford Capri Australia

    The Ford Capri ran from 1969 - 1974 as a Ford UK-sourced rear-wheel drive sports coupe, then again from 1989 - 1994 as a Ford Australia-led front-wheel drive drop top. The Australian version was based on the Mazda 323 platform and was exported to the US with Mercury branding. It was discontinued after poor sales performance compared to its Mazda MX-5 direct rival.

    The line-up currently starts at $2,640 for the Capri Barchetta and ranges through to $5,170 for the range-topping Capri Clubsprint Turbo.

    Ford Capri Q&As

    Check out real-world situations relating to the Ford Capri here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

    • Disconnecting the battery before charging

      There's no real reason to disconnect your battery when recharging it as long as the ignition is off when you do it.

    • Stuck with old panels

      YOUR aunt's MGB is a classic treasured by many people around the world and some people know they can make money from supplying parts to repair and restore them. Unfortunately, your Capri isn't yet regarded that way and parts are more difficult to find. Car companies generally hold spares for about 10 years, but might then sell the remaining stock and tooling to parts suppliers that continue to make and supply parts. Try the Capri car clubs and see if members can help you. eBay often has hard-to-find car parts for sale.
