The Ford Capri Laser Page

Hi Andy,
On a serious note, it's a rare situation when a car is sold back to the suppying dealer. This is a good opportunity to see how much they think that the market has risen and the resultant increase iin value of this car over the last year or so.
It will be interesting to find out.

Hi Andy,
The trouble with classic shows is that too many cars have for sale signs on them.
How is your willpower?

All the best,
Andrew.

Hi, I got mine refurbed at Prestige in Milton Keynes. They spend days repairing and preparing the wheels, they don't just powdercoat them. When they were returned, you'd swear that they were brand new straight from the factory. It cost £55 per wheel including VAT and they send a courier round to pic...

0.6mm of rain all day doesn't sound like a lot.
Even I would probably take the car out in that!

Whaaaat?!
It's mid June now, Nick. Where have you been hiding all year?

Have a good show, and enjoy the convoy.
Hopefully John won't be on one of his 100mph blasts!

All the best,
Andrew.

Hi,
According to the BBC the weather in Farnborough should be cloudy but dry tomorrow.
Have a good one, gents.
Like Andy, I eagerly await some photos if possible!

All the best,
Andrew.

This car, by the way.

Hi,
Is the Capri featured the Mk2 Ghia that Dr Broooklands is selling? It has the same unusually-coloured vinyl roof.
Seems likely as the advert was filmed in Cardiff. apparently, and Dr B is based near Bridgend.

All the best,
Andrew.

Hi Chris, As Nick said, welcome to the forum. Once I get some stuff cleared out I'll be able to take some pictures to upload. Sounds great, can't wait to see it. Very nice condition wheels, by the way, you shouldn't have any trouble selling them. Even if somebody was having their own wheels refurbis...

Hi Andy,
You might be able to go cold turkey for a while, but how long will it be before you have to get your next Capri fix?

Andrew.

Hi Mike,
Thank you for taking the time to post comprehensive explanations, it's really useful having your legal-eagle knowledge on this forum.
It can't be easy explaining complicated legal procedures to the man in the street, as it were.

All the best,
Andrew.

I bet that if you did have to have your car somewhere else temporarily and something happened then you would lie about the circumstances, adjust the truth, the time, where you were or whatever. Hi, You'd lose that bet, as there is no way I would lie on an insurance claim form. It's not worth the ri...

Hi,
If anyone would prefer to shop online, the kit is £20.50 including postage on Ebay.

Which Hobbycraft are you shopping at? £30 online, is it cheaper in-store?

Hi All, Surely there must be a clear definition of 'home' or 'away' in the context of where the car is located? Either way, it doesn't bother me that much, as I've never left the car elsewhere overnight in the vicinity of home. There may be a time in the future, but as it may only be on an infrequen...

Hi Andy,
Wow, that was quick!

Hi,
You'll need a photobucket account. There are instructions on this page:

Mine's probably closer to 30mm with all the layers of Hammerite I've painted on it!

Andrew.

this is my first capri, so any help is much appreciated. Cool choice of car! Please post some photos of your Capri in the member's cars section, we all love to see photo's of nice cars. Welcome to the forum, by the way! You've come to the right place for information and advice, that's for sure. And...

Thinking of it, I can't think of a single genuine legitimate reason why anybody would even want to buy a V5 without a car.
Does anybody actually collect this stuff?

Andrew.
