Manufacturer description

The Ford Consul Capri appears this time in a bright summery turquoise and off-white colour scheme registered VFF 619. The pale blue is also echoed in the wheels whilst the interior is moulded in a slightly more muted pale blue. A particular feature on the model is the fine radiator grille finished in silver.

In its day, the Ford Consul Capri was popular both in the USA and the UK with its sporty appearance, elegant lines and the pillarless coupé roof. The 2-door Capri also featured 'extras' including four headlights, variable speed wipers and front disc brakes, all quite innovative for its time! Its four-speed gearbox location was also one of personal choice - either column or floor mounted. It is indeed a very pretty car which would attract attention even today.

Oxford Diecast Ford Consul Capri – Caribbean Turquoise and Ermine White

Manufacturer part number 76FCC002. The diecast model represents the Ford Consul Capri as it would have appeared in the period when British Rail used the British Rail Blue livery (pre‑TOPS). The car is painted in a bright summer turquoise with off‑white (ermine) panels, matching the registration VFF 619. The wheels are finished in a pale blue that echoes the exterior colour, while the interior is moulded in a slightly muted pale blue. The radiator grille is rendered in a fine silver finish.

The original Ford Consul Capri was sold in both the United States and the United Kingdom and was noted for its sporty appearance, elegant lines and pillarless coupé roof. Standard equipment included four headlights, variable‑speed windscreen wipers, front disc brakes and a four‑speed gearbox, which could be fitted either as a column or floor shift. The model reflects these features accurately.
