The Ford Capri Laser Page

I’ve just lost 15 minutes of my life watching these Ford TV ads made by ad agency Ogilvy & Mather. They were given to me by Terry Holben who directed Ford’s ads for 22 years and wrote about the experience in my book. Take a look at them here as Ford pitched us RS, Capri, Cortina, Sierra, Granad...

Cheers guys. Yeah that's it, not many dashboards are perfect and it's making the best of a bad job.

Here is some more Granada stuff. This guy has some good vids on YouTube.

Whoever the chap is giving the speech and review he used to do a lot of Ford stuff and has a voice that triggers nostalgic.

Some Scorpio Action.

Remember the Scorpio in 4WD and Cosworth trim with those brilliant leather seats. Equipment wise was a very underrated car. Another forgotten Ford - well except on here where quite a few engines power Capris.

On the subject of bring back the Capri, I have found a couple of little videos on the Capris supposed killer. This featured in Steve's book and is an interesting story. Shows throughout the book the tie up between the US Dearborn and FOE. Happens more often then you'd think or realise. https://yout...

Hi all just a quick update re this. Two issues, firstly finding a mint dash is an issue and who wants to pay upwards of £500? So I thought with that in mind I'd have a go. Now I am not very skilled and no expert but I had some isopon bumper filler and ordered some textured paint and gave it a go. Th...

AMC PACER story - well I never knew.

Always reminded me of the American Allegro.

Hi folks, have seen a few carpets for sale on eBay etc has anyone got any experience of these. What did you buy and where from etc, did it fit and is it any good,?
In advance much appreciated.

I wonder why that never caught on? Maybe because it looks crap or regulations? I mean that roof! Good idea with the coal system though

It looks too stubby and Swedish with its IKEA high sculpted wasteline like the MK2 Focus, definitely Volvo. I think the Capri missed too many generational changes for it to work so I'm pleased Ford dropped it. I think it's of its time and if you keep reinventing old things ironically it shows a lack...

Some great images there, I love to see the Capri in colt form. Always loved the MK1 in its basic trim, very iconic, with basic vents and chrome hub caps. I also always like shots of the clay cars or the plastic mould types. I like the shot o the Green Sierra 'Toni' where its three door one side and...

Hi, I have a brand new not used Carb for the Essex v6. Not needed still in box and about a month old. Has been rested on the car but that is is. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F201841819459 I paid £267 looking for £150 so it is a good discount. Can ...

How about a JBA Javelin?i appreciate there may be some owners on here so not to upset them but it was clearly a car of its time, or a conversion of its time. I think the Crayford MK1 with the roof in the down position looks okay but take away the elliptical side window and it sort of stops being a C...

SVE days for me are so nostalgic, that is really my era and what really kick started my real enthusiasm for Ford, it made me bunk off school and collect brochures from my local dealer so much so that my YTS days (yes remember those) also began there only to be cut short by a cycling accident. The v...

I am surprised somebody hasn't built a replica RS2800, seems simple enough to do.
