– In 1973, the millionth Ford Capri rolled off the production line.
– The second-generation Ford Capri was produced from 1974 to 1978.
– The Ford Capri continued to be produced until 1986, with various updates and revisions throughout its production cycle.
– Ford Australia and South Africa also produced their own versions of the Capri, with V8 engines, until 1990.
