Britain loved the Capri Mk III a little too much: it was officially classified "high risk" of theft by the Home Office, becoming one of the most-stolen cars in the country through the 1980s and early '90s.
The Capri Mk II was the first Ford anywhere to get a hatchback - arriving just as the body style was catching on across Europe.
Ford built the entire RS3100 run — just 250 cars — in two months flat, purely to homologate its racing version for Group 2's over-three-litre class in 1974.
Ford wanted to call this car the Colt, but Mitsubishi already owned the name, so it became the Capri instead.

Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
