Over the years, Mercury sold numerous models under the Capri name. First, it was just a trim level on the regular Mercury sedan, then it was a re-badged Ford Capri from Europe. In the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, it was the Mercury version of a Fox-bodied Mustang. However, in 1991, it was a new and separate model.

Mercury wanted a compact convertible/roadster, and this small car was exactly that. They assembled the 1991-1994 Capri in Australia and sold it in the U.S. The two-seat roadster had a 1.6-liter engine and front-wheel drive. Despite being a decent car in all aspects, it failed to gain significant popularity and ranked among sales flops of the time, so it was withdrawn from the market in 1994.
