The Capri got the same long hood, short deck styling, but no V8 of course, it got the engine from the Cortina. This, the Mk I was built from 1969-74 (a facelift in 1970), most models had rectangular headlights The German built cars got their V4 engines; 1300cc, 1500, 1700 and the 2300GT In the UK it was the 1300 and 1600cc straight 4 cyl Kent, or the UK Essex 2000 V4 and Essex 3000 V6 GT In 1970 the upmarket 3000E was available, and the race ready RS2600 (street version 2600GT). 1972 saw a facelift, headlights and tail lights were enlarged, OHV Kent engines replaced with OHC Pinto engines. The new 3000 GXL got 4 round headlights. In 1973 the RS2600 was replaced with the RS3100. The Mk I (pre facelift) was also produced in Australia from 1969-72.
