Ford Capri Australia

The Ford Capri (SA30) (marketed in North America as the Mercury Capri) is an automobile that was designed, developed and manufactured by Ford Australia from 1989 to 1994. It marked a revival of the Ford Capri name, which was previously used by Ford of Europe from 1969 to 1986. This was also the case for the Mercury Capri name, which was last used for a badge-engineered third-generation Ford Mustang from 1979 to 1986. The Australian Capri, codenamed the SA30, was an entry-level convertible, based on Mazda 323 running gear that Ford Australia also used in the Laser. Its exterior was designed by Ghia and interior by ItalDesign. During development of the Capri, Mazda was developing the MX-5, a vehicle that, although considerably more expensive, was commonly considered its direct competitor. Unlike the MX-5, the Capri was a 2+2 rather than a strict two-seater.
