"Glamour. Luxury. Eager to go." was how the official Ford brochure described the Capri XL! Capri XL . it has to be the glamour-and-go car of the 70's. Just take a look at what it has to offer in the go department . . . a 98-horsepower, two-barrel "CrossFlow" engine matched with four of the fastest, all synchro, close-ratio gears you've ever handled.
A tuned suspension makes itself known in the remarkably quiet and smooth ride. The track is wide for sure-footed stability. Brakes are servo-assisted all round - discs up front, drums at the rear.
What about the glamour? Well, one of the reasons the XL looks so sporty and cool is we added a few items to its classic fast-back lines. Fine tape-stripes along the side. Black panel across the rear. Rocker-panel mouldings - with black paint below the mouldings.
Inside . . . nothing less than the lap of luxury. Deeply-cushioned, contoured and adjustable-rake bucket seats. Deep-pile, wall-to-wall carpeting. the comfort of climate-control with a heater/demister and Aeroflow ventilation. A teak-grained instrument panel with easy-to-read, easy-to-reach controls and instruments.
You can add items to make yours the one-of-a-kind Capri you want it to be. A complete list of options includes T-Bar automatic, Vinyl Roof, Long Range Driving Lights, Tinted/Laminated Windscreen, Sports Road Wheels, Full-styled Wheel Covers, Sports Steering Wheel, Nylon-weave Seat Trim, Centre Sports Console - including Electric Clock, Exterior Racing mirrors, Long Range Radio and 165 x 13 radial tyres on 5-inch wide road wheels.
