Ford decided there was no reason why a four-seater coupe couldn't look stunning and go like a rocket (with the right engine), yet be as easy and cheap to run as a Ford Escort. Little wonder that the slogan they used in 1969 to launch it, \"The car you always promised yourself,\" made an immediate impact. The Capri was a hit from day one, and continued to be a favorite until 1986, at which time it had been somewhat overshadowed by the emergence of the Hot Hatchback. Over its lifetime, the Capri was available in a vast array of guises over three distinct \"Marks,\" but all of them had at their heart affordable fun and a surprising degree of everyday practicality. Nothing has ever quite replaced it, but it lives on in the fond imagination of everyone who loved it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giles Chapman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0752484613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780752484617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 5.10w x 0.60d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giles Chapman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44080271950079,"sku":"9780752484617","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8bc9ff28-76ae-4d9d-a907-46cd519c3a65.jpg?v=1685485884","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ford-capri-story-giles-chapman-9780752484617","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
