Capri XR2 is not a ZX2, it is an australian built 2 door turbo-charged convertible made by mercury(ford).
Uses the Mazda B6T engine that is used in some Escorts, 323's, and Miata's.

HAGS:
Your Capri is an XR2, and so are several Escorts and Fiestas over the years.
It's like a model of a car, or package option.
Sort of like SE, LX, etc. that Ford likes to use cause it sounds good.

If you look at some of the British Ford fan web sites, you might see the wide variety of Escorts, Cortinas, Granadas, Scorpios, etc.

The original Capri was a British Ford coupe version of the 70's Cortina.
It was a rear wheel drive car.

And then later, Mercury imported several other European Fords as Merkur XR2i, XR3i, XR4ti etc. although they were originally Escort, Scorpio, etc.

But don't rely on what I say, cause I'm hazy over stuff that's twenty years old and it can get really confusing as some cars were sold here in US, but others weren't and they had the same names for different cars, etc. etc.

Take a look at the different sites listed at:
