Isn't that the European-based one? Then it is just Capri, not Mercury Capri, which was another car. |

Sold by Lincoln-Mercury dealers, but the car didn't get the make of these dealers (like Opel that were sold by Buick dealers). |

1974-77 Ford Capri Mk II 2.0 (in Europe), so was it just 'Capri' 2.0 - but they were known however as the Mercury Capri? |

According to Wikipedia, they are wrongly known as Mercury Capri, the real name was just Capri. |

Here, when we speak about a sixties and seventies Opel Kadett or GT, we refer to it as a Buick-Opel. Even if the car didn't get a Buick badge, it was advertized by Buick as Buick's Opel just like other cars were advertized as Buick's GS 455... see: ![[Image: rgtal6910si3.jpg]](http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/3696/rgtal6910si3.jpg "http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/3696/rgtal6910si3.jpg") The Lincoln-Mercury dealers didn't associate the german Capri's name with Mercury but when the second generation, Mustang-based Capri was introduced, it was badged as a Mercury. That's why the German model is often called a Mercury. |

Capri II was only model years 1976-78 in the US. There were no 1975 Capris. |
