Ford Capri 1500 — 1969

The first generation Capri in a nicely patinated condition, equipped with a somewhat unusual engine for Sweden; the same 1.5-liter V4 that Saab used in its 96/95 models.

"The Ford Capri experienced a fascinating evolution throughout its history in the automotive world. A specimen from the first year of production is primarily a stylishly designed coupe, based on existing components. This fact might make it even more historically significant compared to its later, larger, and more powerful performance-oriented siblings."

"The Ford Capri experienced a fascinating evolution throughout its history in the automotive world.

Description

This early series model was originally sold in Germany in September 1969 and was imported to Sweden by the current owner in 2007. The owner hasn't driven it much but has mechanically fixed what was needed, conducted a general overhaul, and serviced it regularly. The odometer history indicates some discrepancies, but these are due to reading errors. However, the speedometer and fuel gauge are currently malfunctioning, and a better-used meter housing is included, which can also be adjusted to the correct mileage. The latest, and thus the last, inspection was carried out on June 3, 2017.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine of this vehicle has received a thorough mechanical review and careful servicing during the years it has been owned by the current owner. One might expect a different engine sound from a Ford Capri compared to the familiar rumble of a (Saab) V4. A German Ford V4 can be distinguished from an English one by the location of the distributor. In the German version (and consequently in Saab's), the distributor is situated behind the intake and carburetor, whereas in the English version, it is located in front. Due to the cold on the day of documentation, the engine needed some time to warm up before it ran properly, as is common with older vehicles. Other than that, the transmission has a good feel to the gears, and the brakes are functioning well.

  • Interior condition:

    The seats and door panels have been reupholstered by the current owner, while the rear seat remains original. The center console originates from a more exclusive Capri V6 model, but it can be easily removed to reveal the original handbrake cover and gear shift gaiter. The interior features a well-maintained headliner and carpets, though there is a noticeable dirt stain at the front edge of the roof.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car was repainted at some point in Germany, exhibiting a few minor rust spots in the right door and the left rear sill. Apart from these issues, it shows a normal patina appropriate for its age and mileage. It is equipped with fresh Hankook tires that have a good tread pattern, mounted on the original wheels.

  • General condition:

    This rarer first generation model is in a moderately used condition and would become a fine and dignified representative of the model with a few minor sheet metal and cosmetic repairs.
