The Ford Capri Laser Page

I've had a look through the brochures I've got and the winder handles most commonly are in the 7 o'clock position when the windows are closed. Although there is enough variation in positions to make me think that, perhaps, they weren't set in a predetermined position at the factory. One thing is cer...

A good way to find out would be to look in the sales brochures.
I'll have a look later when I've got a bit of time.

Touring cars which, and I'm sure it's not coincidental, use Goodyear tyres.

I've had mine.
Perhaps it's a little later as the club have been busy with running the Nationals last weekend?

SRB240X belongs to the chap who advertises in the CCI magazine. The one about the courier service for Capri owners by Capri owners, or something like that.

Great selection of Capris! The unusual number plates are from the Republic of Ireland. The red and black cars have the standard issue registrations. The blue car has an optional ZV plate designating a vintage vehicle. For more nerdy stuff, read on..... The 2.8 injection was registered in 1986 in Lao...

And I didn't realise my bald spot was so big. Cheers John !!

I told him that I felt privileged to have been granted some rare underbonnet access!

Hi Jason,
Sorry to hear about your back.

Yes, it was hot hot hot !!
There were probably about 100 or so cars there. There were plenty of old favourites, but many of them I'd never seen before.

Andrew.

An amazing day! It was good to catch up with John and have a good look over his absolutely gorgeous Special. Thanks John! :D https://i.postimg.cc/T27tvTCg/IMG-1172.jpg All these breakfast meets John goes to must be doing him some good. He actually got to CCI headquarters earlier than I did! Andrew.

A sad loss. The chemistry between Dennis and George Cole in Minder made the show a must-see classic.
RIP Dennis.

Sorry to hear that, Jason. I hope that your back gets better soon.

Andrew.
