browncar: 1974-77 Ford Capri Mark II There’s a story about when American pilots came back from Europe after WWII they sold their big pre-war Fords and Chevys for MGs and Triumphs. If you look at airfield photos from the time after the war, there’ll be MG TCs and the like parked next to planes. Pilots and sports cars go together like Biggles and Algy. But what are Ford doing here with the Capri1? MG TC is to the Rolls-Royce Merlin-engined Spitfire as Capri is to single-engined Cessna? And is it his car, or hers? /via Car Scoop Bonus pic: Look at this hipster. ↩

But what are Ford doing here with the Capri1? MG TC is to the Rolls-Royce Merlin-engined Spitfire as Capri is to single-engined Cessna?

And is it his car, or hers?
