Do you mean the original (mk I) Ford Capri?

Or, possibly, Mk1 Lotus Cortina.

AFAIK it was the 1968 Capri whose chassis was based on the MkII Cortina

''The car you always promised yourself'' according to Ford ads at the time - and it was as revolutionary as the Mustang in the UK at the time - remeber they were still making Morris Minors then

The Mk1 Capri was indeed designed to be a European pony car.
