* The first use by Ford of the name Capri outside the USA was by Ford of Britain for a two-door coupé version of the Ford Classic saloon introduced in 1961. The Consul Capri was made to Ford Classic De Luxe specification only. This meant four headlights, variable speed wipers, 9.5 in front disc brakes, dimming dashboard lights and a cigarette lighter. The four-speed transmission was available with either a column or floor change.
* Initially the Capri was fitted with a 1,340cc 3 main bearing engine (model 109E). These early cars were considered underpowered and suffered from premature crankshaft failure. The engine capacity was increased in August 1962 to 1,498 cc (model 116E) and this engine was a vast improvement.
