Originally
called the Mark 3, the Falcon Caribbean was primarily intended
for the Ford 7 ft 6 in chassis, but would fit several other
chassis of similar wheelbase. In 1960 the Caribbean became available
as a complete kit, with a choice of engines including the Ford
100E and 105E, Coventry-Climax 1098cc & 1216cc and MGA.
The Falcon Caribbean was a pretty, Italian-inspired two seater
that proved most popular in coupe form, although a convertible
version was also available. It was estimated that more than
2,000 Falcon Caribbean's were produced between 1959 and 1963.
