A new Capri
Capri III was a clever reworking of the Mk II theme and gained instant appeal. The quad lights and changed front grill gave a more sporty appearance and mid way through its life the 3.0 litre V6 Essex engine was replaced by the better 2.8 litre V6 injected Cologne engine
Sales
Capri III sold over 320,000 examples world-wide, The most exclusive was the Tickford factory approved conversions which added bodykits, leather interior and a turbo to the 2.8 litre engine. Very expensive.
Zakspeed
Capri III was raced in the German touring car championships and known as the Zakspeed Capri. It featured in various liveries between 1978 - 1983, with 1.4 and 1.7 litre turbo powerplants giving 440 to 550 BHP and speeds of 170 and 185 mph !
Police
Capri III was used by the Greater Manchester police force and this example is in private hands today still doing the classic & Ford shows.
