Not many were sold in the UK - around 125,000 (all variants) - soon the Ford Cortina MK 1 arrived to take over the mid-size market and the Ford Corsair was introduced for those wanting something in the "Classic" mould.

Re: Ford Capri
Never owned one. The nearest I got was a 1954 Ford Anglia 100e, my first car and cost £125. Must have been back in 1962. Only other Fords I have had is a ford Escort and a Ford Explorer. When buying the Anglia it was that or a Zypher Zodiac.Wow did that bring back memories
