The Ford Capri Laser Page

Hi Steve, Great find, thanks for posting. I've just had a flick through and there are some incredible cars on the list: 1 Austin Healey, 15 Audi Quattro, 5 Mercedes SL, 263 Range Rover, 1 Jaguar XK8, 48 Jaguar XJS, 13 BMW 635, 24 Ford Capri...... I've got to go through the list again when I've got m...

Hi JC,
It's not something I'd do on mine, but white lettering goes more with your look.
Providing all four tyres are the same make....otherwise it's a big no-no!

Hi,
You should come along on July 12th. Weather permitting, I'll be going and Rob and his son(s) may be going too.

Nick,
I didn't want anyone loosing sleep over not knowing what it was!

Andrew.

I'll have to check it out a bit closer next time. This must be a very rare car! Hi All, That's a new one on me as well. I certainly never knew that it existed, and there can't be many in this country. Perhaps that is the only one to be imported? I agree with the comments about yellow really suiting...

Hi There,
Try Martin at Caprigear. He might be able to supply enough material for a bolster repair.

All the best,
Andrew.

Hi Nick, Thanks for uploading the extra photos. I've really enjoyed looking through all yours and Neil's photos of this great little meet. What a fantastic display of fabulous Fords in all their glory! Looks like it didn't disappoint! :D There are some stunning engine compartments on display here to...

Cheers for letting me know

Hi Neil,
Only too happy to help!
It looks stunning in orange, doesn't it? But then, most cars do.

Andrew.

Hi,
This place has 34mm tube (or box) spanners listed, but no price. Best give them a call to ascertain whether they are in stock or not.

Hi Neil,
I forgot to say, great photos, thanks for taking the time to upload them. Looks like you all had a really good time.

I've never seen a digital display conversion on a Capri before. Looks amazing.

Andrew.

Hi Neil,
What a fantastic meet, some really cool cars, especially the forum cars.

The mystery car is an K-1 Attack.

Weather looks like it was OK, too!

All the best,
Andrew.

Hi,
There is a refundable surcharge, but if the OP already has some units, it would be cheaper to get them regassed instead. As long as they aren't damaged and are able to be regassed.

Andrew.

Hi,
Yes, they are. At £57 each though (less 20% discount for members).

Hi Andy,
If it's less than £12K they'll be giving it away, when compared to some of the other cars on sale elsewhere.

Andrew.

Err, yes.

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.

Andrew.

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!

Andrew.
