Capri 3000GXL
What is your favourite car of all time?
1972 brought about significant changes and as a result the facelift Capris were launched in an attempt to keep ahead of the growing competition. These facelifted Capris were easily identified by larger lights, indicators in the front bumpers, the bonnet bulge adopted by models other than the V6, smaller side dummy air scoops and new rear suspension set up with anti roll bar as standard. Interior luxury was becoming a reality with cloth inserts to greatly improved sculptured seats and revised facia with the now familiar large instrumentation and switchgear. The 3000 GXL sported quad headlamps of the type first seen on the limited production RS2600 and destined for the RS3100. Further refinements included a general softening of suspension, use of an excellent single rail gearbox and viscous-coupled fan. The 140bhp 3000GXL could be specified with automatic transmission, originally introduced on the 3000E and GT, which would push 1972 purchase price to a shade over £2000.
