The Cars You Always Promised Yourself tells the story of Ford of Europe design, engineering and marketing primarily through the lens of Ford’s coupes. The main feature car is therefore the Capri and the later Sierra – in three-door form – that had a troubled birth before evolving into the iconic Sierra RS Cosworth. This book is the definitive story on Capri and Sierra, but the other RS and XR cars feature heavily, along with the ’90s cars that followed.

To fully recount stories of Ford’s desirable coupes from the 1970s to the early 2000s, Saxty had full access to the company’s archive and spent hundreds of hours talking to the designers, engineers and managers that brought to life the cars that defined car culture and remain firmly in demand by enthusiasts today.

Saxty’s book provides fascinating anecdotes and stunning images of the cars as they evolved from hand-drawn sketches through to clay models, intriguing mules and for some, emerging as showroom stars.

336 pages. Limited Edition of 500 copies, signed by author Steve Saxty.
