The Ford Capri Laser Page

Hi,
Thanks for the recommendation for the Burton mount. The Tickover one is more expensive, but they say it's genuine Ford, whereas Burton don't. I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

When I sold my Alfa last January, it was 31 hours after I placed the advert and it was the first person to view that bought it. But the advert did not say first to see will buy :) Hi Mike, That's where you went wrong, it may have sold in 30 hours if you had wrote that in the advert! All the best, A...

Hi All,
Each year in Britain 30 to 60 people are recorded as being struck by lightning, 3 of whom, sadly, die.

Hi Neil,
Oh yeah? Which one was the unlucky one that had to sit in the car, or did the use a test dummy? You could say that they were a test dummy anyway!

Hi Neil,
It does look like a good car. Although I do hate it when sellers write "first to see will buy".
Does that ever actually happen? I've never sold a car and the first person to view it has bought it....

Yes specially the gearbox rubber mount made a big difference Hi, What sort of vibration were you getting before you changed the mount? Was it progressively vibrating more the faster you went, or was it at a certain speed or RPM? Also, what was vibrating, the whole car or just the gear lever? Thanks...

Isnt it the safest place to be inside a car during a storm? In theory, as the car acts like a partial Faraday cage you should be able to withstand lightening strikes. However, you should not be in contact with any metal items such as door handles, steering wheels, gearstick etc. I still wouldn't li...

Hi, I wouldn't have thought that these are being remade, but there are some used ones on Ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Escort-Mk1-Capri-Rear-light-unit-Great-condition-/331593132521?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4d347da9e9 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ford-escort-mk1-RS1600-AVO-RS-mexico-re...

Well, I have to get the attention of the other driver somehow!

Disclaimer: I must emphasise that I am merely being whimsical and my original statement referred to me flashing the headlights of the Capri.

Neil,
You're right there. £3300 so far, but reserve not met.

I predict £5250.

Hi Andy,
That would keep me awake at night!

Andrew.

It's up to £2605 already.....

Andrew.

Hi All,
Nice Laser, but is the owner French?
Under the "condition, used" section they've wrote "Non". I guess that should be "oui" anyway.

I think the highest bid will be over £3K.

Andrew.

Nick,
I am a Grey!

Don't take this the wrong way, but if you've been shaving for a long time and you let your hair grow now, it may not be quite as strawberry blonde as you remember it.........

All the best,
Andrew the Silver Fox.

But I gave as good as I got :boxing: Note to myself: Don't upset Nick....... Nick, You'd better not confess to playing this game as a child anyway, as according to the Town Police Clauses Act 1847, it is a criminal offence to "wilfully and wantonly disturb any inhabitant, by pulling or ringing...

Hi Neil, I'm currently in the process of reading mine. Opinions vary on this forum, but I'm really enjoying it and think it's money well spent.
