The Germans only built the UK specification body.. and the Cologne 2.8 V6 engine in various designations.

So those Capris were built form what year and ended in what year?I know Ford North America imported them here in the USA/Canada and they stopped selling e, in 78? i think as the new fox platformed Mustang came out in 79 and used the Capri name for the Mercury version and i know of this specialSouth African?V8 version and i've seen in OZ alot of Capris with a 351 C swap or Chevy swap or Holden V8 swap.
