When the Capri first came into production in 1969 the slogan given to it to help launch the car was 'the car you always promised yourself '. As the years went by the Capri took off in a big way. During those years the Capri was bought by a variety of people of all ages and all types of occupations. It was because of its: stylish looks and variety of engine sizes that it appealed to the car buying public.

During its production many Special Editions were made and were eagerly sort out by enthusiastic Capri owners. Unfortunately, the Capri was given a bad name due to the interest shown in this car by young people, who had either just passed their tests and were looking for a sporty coupe: or the young person out to prove thlemselves in a fast car, in this case the Capri was clearly always first choice. This meant that a lot of Capri's in good condition when bought were either written off or used for racing or spares. The Capri was therefore given the 'Boy Racers' image which has stuck to it ever since.

A group of enthusiasts have got together to run a club which caters for all types of Capri's from concours/cnndition to being in primer or in different stages of repair and still on the road. The clubs aim is to bring the owner and his Capri together with other like minded members to talk about and share their experience regarding their Capri and its maintenance and perhaps modifcation if carried out.

There are companies which give the club member discount for their products and can also offer their services if required. Shows are held regulary for the member to show his or her Capn to the general public. Many members think nothing of packing their Capri with camping gear and going to a good weekend event.
