English: Ford Capri July 1969.

This car was registered only six months after the car had been launched, and appears to have been restored so that (with the possible exception of the wheels) it closely resembles the cars as they appeared when new shortly after the model was launched.

The car was photographed in Essex, close to Ford's largest UK factory, its European research centre at Dunton and an administrative head office at Warley, Brentwood. In the closing decades of the twentieth century the focus of Ford's European operations shifted towards continental Europe, but the area was and remains "Ford Country" in terms of the local levels enthusiasm and knowledge concerning the cars.
