Time for rationalisation of option packs, meaning that only Base, L, XL, XLR and E are now available. Still a wide choice, but the range is easier to understand. The 1300GT version, always a slow seller, is discontinued. In a general Ford uprating of its V-engines, the 3000GT / 3000Es now get 138 bhp, and more torque than before. Works Capris, with 2.9-Iitre Cologne V6 engines, win the European Touring car Championship.

Ford introduces the much-hyped Capri.
Originally it is to be built at Halewood in the UK and at Cologne in West Germany, with a
wide choice of engines from 1.3 litre to 3-litre. Ford also show prototype Capris with
16-valve Cosworth BDA engines and propose to sell them in limited numbers, but change
their minds during the year. Instead, the V6-engined Capri 3000GT is introduced in
October. Prices of this 128 bhp car start at £1,291. Other sports cars of this size
suddenly look expensive. Ford produces nearly 220,000 Capris in 1969.
