  • This is a Ford of Belgium film showing the unveiling of the new Ford Capri at the 1969 Brussels Motor Show. There are 74 different models on display in the Ford hall but the centrepiece is the brand new model, the Capri. King Baudouin does the honours and the commentary makes much of how impressed he is with the car. 279 Capris are sold during the 3 day show, which attracted 650,000 visitors.

    What a beautiful range of cars. So sad to compare the current one.

    I had sketches of that mk1 rally winning Twin cam Escort on every single one of my school exercise books - including that exact registration number!

    Oh, to be able to go back in time and walk around on this show ...
    As a Belgian, I used to always visit the Brussels Motor Show, but the last editions I went too, with not every brand present and per brand only a small selection of mainly EVs and SUVs, it has become only a shadow of its former self. It's sad, really.

    “Part Mustang, part Escort”… Actually 100% Mk 2 Cortina under the skin.

    Sleek all around but, the rear of this Capri is barely an afterthought. Those tail lights look like Ford rummaged through the parts bin and just stuck them on.

    I love the way the commentator tries to pronounce Capri with the correct French accent. However in Britain it’s pronounced “Ker-pree” mate! 😁👍🇬🇧

    Alan Mann Escort, that was the best livery ever put on a Mk.I Escort...

    It's fitting that a Mercury Cougar XR7, along with a Ford Mustang, were displayed along with the Mark I Capri, as Lincoln-Mercury dealers would begin selling the Capri in the U.S. one year after this film was made.

    Not the Mk 1 Capri.
