Was the Capri just a fashion accessory?

These ads came from the Women's Weekly in 1969.
It would seem that Ford may have been aiming at the female market.

 This was in the 27 August 1969 edition.

This was in the 25 June 1969 edition.

There are a few more to come.

No, not a Capri

Just recently I was very fortunate to be invited to accompany a good friend of mine on a regular run of classic cars. A private collector, who has possibly one of the best collections of Jaguars in Australia, invites friends & members of a collectors car club to help him give the cars a bit of road time. On this occasion, there were two Jags, two Jensens & the Triumph Stag. We were allocated the Stag. It was one of the best days, weather wise, this year & the drive, which is all thoroughly planned, found us travelling up through the Sunshine Coast hinterland to Flaxton. It was a great day for driving in the Stag with the top down. Not having had anything to do with these cars, apart from watching Terry in Minder, I was very impressed. This car was imported from the UK & is in fantastic condition.
The collector has just completed a two storey garage/showroom which is bigger than my house. Besides Jags, he has a number of other British classics but no Fords. A real eye opener of a day, not only to drive in the car but to see how this man looks after his cars.
The Jensen Healey pictured has a twin-cam Lotus engine which is slanted well over to the right side of the car.
