The Ford Capri Laser Page

This is also very good source!

Hi, here in Czech Republic somebody probably offers GT4 stripe kit. On one picture there is Capri GT4. But according to GMB Graphics prices, it will be quite expensive. Capri S stripe kit: 2400 CZK = 90 GBP (DMB Graphics: 48 GBP) https://auto.bazos.cz/inzerat/166145260/Ford-Capri-S-INJECTION-GHIA-RS...

That site looks to be an invaluable resource for research.

Andrew.

It will be research for few hours .

Found it just yesterday and there are really a lot of brochures. If you want brochure for E-type, Miura, 308 GTB, Mustang or for exmple Quattroporte, it's all there!


Tom

Hi,
I want my Capri to be as original as possible. So if I want to solve this I will inspect that washer or try another relay or anything else.

But thanks for info about this possibility.


Tom

Hi,
here is very good brochures archive of all brands:

It's an old machine.

You are the winner!

It didn't look that there is any leak, but I will check it once more.


Tom

Hi,
wheels look great!
It was proper testing of them in the field.


Tom

Simoniz Wax, great!

And thanks for replies. I'm glad you like it, guys!


Tom

Great, thanks!

I had the same idea. It didn't work much...


Tom

...or are there any pressure valves in washers, which could be stuck?


Tom

Not sure if it was possible to import to 60's/70's comunist Czechoslovakia anything from England, so I thought it was rather 80's. But I don't know, could be from 70's.
Text on the back of can is also in Czech language!

What, Andrew? £50? It's a treasure! .... No, it's not, I know.


Tom

Hi,
does anybody still have one of these?
I have 2 cans, one open and one still unopened from 80's or early 90's. Don't know exactly, because my dad bought it. I was in kindergarten in that time.

Ray Doyle used this chrome cleaner too.

Hi, does anybody know if it's possible to set opreration time of headlight washers? Something inside relay what could be set? On my Capri it's around 0.5 sec. On right headlight it's ok (on LHD washer tank is on the right side), but left headlight has longer hoses and in 0.5 sec it only starts to sq...

Hi Tom, Thanks for the heads up. The MCG Capri looks cool and is good value. MCG have quite a few mark 1s in their catalogue, this is the first mark 2. I don't have any 1:18 scale models in my collection, but I might make an exception for this! Andrew. Yes, 1/18 takes a lot of space. I prefer 1/43 ...

If anybody is interested, there's a 1:18 scale version on Ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234891738263?hash=item36b0a37c97:g:a5UAAOSwbe5j1n9R&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAkD1ccTOdfE8xim7DGG3tgYwa3IklV1P6pdDilT1hflKTvZtGqGeB234RNi3uLObACCbS%2Fep0sWXIWDhPfgSRH8zZ5NGdDIW7%2FYjx3OVuofQRBRXvelPE%2BSo57gCGb...

Looks good!


Tom

That’s a good find , but what has interested me is the cortina in the advert with the spoiler on the back as I see a cortina in the 70s with that and tried in late 80s to get one for mine but never found one as I was told ford never put a spoiler on a cortina . Here is nice Cortina with front and b...
