1972 Ford Capri 2.0 Ltr
Specifications
Description
Few classics capture the spirit of the 1970's quite like the Ford Capri.
Ford’s aim was to offer European buyers a Mustang-style coupe that was stylish, affordable, and fun to drive.
Marketed as “the car you always promised yourself,” the Capri blended European flair with everyday usability, making it an instant icon on New Zealand and UK roads alike.
ABOUT THIS CAR
- This 1972 example, powered by Ford’s dependable 2.0-litre engine, strikes the perfect balance between sporty performance and everyday driveability.
- Its long bonnet, sweeping fastback roof line, and compact rear give it a timeless silhouette that still turns heads over 50 years later.
- Step inside and you’re greeted by a cockpit designed around the driver – slim pillars, clear gauges, and that unmistakable classic Ford feel. Interior is in beautiful, restored order - carpets, door cards, dashboard, upholstery - all in excellent condition. Inside, the Capri is driver-focused. Good visibility, and the dash layout was simple but functional. Seating was surprisingly practical for a coupe, with a usable back seat and decent boot space, making it a genuine daily driver in its time.
- Very nice body and paint.
- Mechanically sound. In fact, the 2.0-litre four-cylinder was the sweet spot in the Capri range. More spirited than the base 1.6, yet more economical and easier to live with than the V6. Producing around 100 horsepower, it offered lively acceleration for the era, paired with light steering and rear-wheel-drive balance that made it fun on twisty roads. By modern standards it’s modest, but the car’s low weight keeps it engaging.
- Good tires on nice period rims.
- Very well presented vehicle.
- This 2.0-litre example delivers the ideal mix of usability and classic appeal...sporty lines, period-correct details, and an engine that offers both reliability and character.
With original 1970s fastback styling and increasing rarity, it’s a model well-positioned for future appreciation. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, this Capri is more than a car - it’s a smart piece of motoring history and with values of classic Fords climbing steadily, now is the time to secure a piece of Blue Oval history.
From a modern point of view, the Capri 2.0L is less about raw speed and more about character. It represents a golden era of Ford design, that being affordable, stylish, and fun.
Classic Ford enthusiasts prize the 2.0L for its usability, and values have been rising steadily as survivors become rarer. It remains one of the most charming and accessible classics of its generation. It blends style, practicality, and driver engagement in a way that still appeals to collectors and weekend cruisers alike.
