Capri Sales Numbers

Restoring and Repairing 1991 to 1994 Mercury Capri
The modern Capri (1991-94' model years) convertible was reminiscent of the classic British open sports cars of the 60's & 70's. This Mercury Capri roadster seated four and was assembled and built in Australia. Many different interior trim packages were used during its production run including gray leather seating in 1993 and black leather covered "Recarro styled" seats in 1994. The 1994 model year saw many improvements and refinements with the 1994 XR2 being the most sought after model. Although not all improvements were well publicized, here are some of the best known: passenger side airbag added, sport suspension, quicker steering and improved gearing, updated rear tail lights, front and rear bumpers, 5 and 7 spoke sport wheels, Recarro styled leather seating plus a center console with lid & cup holder. Although all Mercury Capris were built as convertibles, Mercury did offer an optional, removable steel hardtop which cost about $1200 and came with a rolling storage cart and a cover with the word "CAPRI" printed on it.
