Introduced as a two plus two Coupe, and based on the Ford Classic Saloon. The Capri Project was code named "Sunbird" and took design elements from the Ford Thunderbird and the Ford Galaxie Starliner. It was instigated by Sir Horace Denne, Ford's Sales Director. and designed by Charles Thompson, sweeping lines, a large boot space and a pillarless coupé roof.
The car went on sale to the dimestic market in January 1962, with the bodies sub assembled by the Pressed Steel Company, with only final assembly of the drivetrain taking place at Dagenham and from February 1963 at Halewood. It was intended as part of the Ford Classic range of cars but the body was complex and expensive to produce. With new production methods, time demands from Dearborn and a need to match opposition manufacturers in price, the Ford Classic and Consul Capri were almost doomed from the start. The Ford Classic was made from 1961 to 1963, and replaced by the Cortina-derived Ford Corsair.
