The tried and true recipe was basically the same, and just as successful as it had been across the pond, and that was to produce a smart looking simply designed easy to live with stylish sports coupe, with a long bonnet swooping lines and short tail, and most importantly make it affordable but with a list of available options that could turn the most mundane examples into something really quite special! You could basically build your own personal car to suit your tastes exactly. Fords Success with the Capri is undeniable, instantly recognisable, everyone had one or knew someone who did, and even today people want to tell you a story about them when you stop anywhere, they really were the Mini Mustang! This example is a local North Canterbury car that has most recently been in the care of a lady for quite a few years being used as a daily driver, with the little happily Capri running around just like it would have back in the Seventies. A genuine NZ new 1600 GT XL this clean and honest example certainly doesnt look 55 years old, it presents very well with clean straight bodywork and a nice clean paintwork finished in a stunning sparkling bright blue metallic, complemented further by a neat and tidy original style Black interior with wood grain accents which feels comfortable and a bit special from the moment you hop in.The little 1600 engine in GT tune seems happy in its work and the close ratio gearbox takes you back to a time when you actually felt like you were involved in the driving process, with a great feedback coming from actually driving a nice and lively little car with a manual transmission. A fair amount of money appears to have been spent to keep this classic Capri in the condition it is presented in today, some interior refurbishment has clearly taken place, with an almost prefect dash and new high quality door trims, while the chrome and brightwork is all pretty much present and correct. This isnt a ground up fully nut and bolt restored car, as its clearly never needed that, but it has been thoroughly refurbished throughout and sympathetically detailed to be a user friendly classic that would be right at home as a daily driver or a Sunday cruiser to enjoy your local cars and coffee. It is getting increasingly harder to find an complete early Pre Facelift Flat Bonnet MK1 Capri, and to some it was the purest and prettiest form of them all.
