I know this one is made for USA. Is this one from UK or Germany?

We listed these as German, though that European would be better; as often with these Ford.

At this point, the Capri (II) was "mostly" German. It had the "Pinto" 2.3 liter 4-cyl or a German-derived 2.8 V6. I don't know if these engines were installed in Europe before being shipped to the U.S. or after they were in the country.

From memory all MkII Capris exported to the USA were built in Germany. (At the time UK cars were seen as less reliable even if they were from a Ford plant.) The complete cars, including the engine installation, were assembled in Cologne.
