Ford Capri.
What to Check Before Buying.
The Ford Capri remains one of Britain's most beloved classic sports coupes, built from 1969 to 1986. Originally marketed as "the car you always promised yourself", it offered affordable performance and styling across three generations. Given its age, rust is the single biggest threat to any Capri, far outweighing mechanical concerns. Buyers should prioritise structural integrity and originality over cosmetic appeal when evaluating any example.
