The Ford Capri Laser Page

Judging by the photos and description, this car looks to be a good buy. I can't see it hanging around for long. Andrew. Hi Andrew I've read a number of posts recently looking for the 280 in particular, if they are serious its probably going, gone already... Des The receptionist thinks it sold over ...

Yep, looks like he has

I'm split between the original (red) or dark metallic grey (perhaps bentley's hallmark silver)

I saw the jag caviar in person and close up & it just isn't sunny enough in Manchester for it to look it's best!

Hi I didn't attend the auction, however prior to going to auction the car was for sale with a dealer. We had agreed a sale, however I subsequently learned from speaking to someone on this forum that it had been re-shelled & hence I felt it wasn't worth the price that the dealer was seeking. Inci...

it's a lovely car. I'm sure you won't have it for long.

I have a few weeks, but as yet I haven't been able to decide what colour to paint my Capri. It's currently in it's original (faded) red. I don't mind it but it doesn't excite me, and is perhaps louder than I'd like. I've toyed with jaguar's 'caviar' & audi's brown, both excellent IMO but also co...

Hello Andrew, MattMe & Jim

Thank you for your thoughts and advice.

My quest for the right colour re-spray goes on!

Just wondering if anyone has, or has come across a Capri in one of the modern matte paints?

I can imagine that a graphite/grey in matte would be suit the car's shape.

Hi, Is this the caviar colour you are thinking of? http://www.dorsetsportscars.co.uk/stock_images/631/thumbnails/DSCF1016_610x458.JPG Andrew. Yes that's the one, although it looked a bit more towards the brown end of the spectrum when I saw it on a wet cloudy day. Apparently the sun makes it look m...

Yes- lovely colour. I have a 1967 fiat 500 in a the similar peugeot blue.

Where have you found to bare metal the car for you? I'm in Manchester too.

A fellow forumite from Doncaster is doing it for me. If you'd like his details, I'll gladly ask him if he's happy for me to forward them.

:?: I really can't decide....I'm very taken by the Jaguar colour I've mentioned previously. They also seem to look fab in Blue - the colour of yours, Andrew, is lovely. I too am thinking that, with 80K on the clock, she's never going to start a bidding war if I ever do need to sell, so I may just go...

Thank you everyone for your quick replies

I have a good few weeks to make my mind up yet, so will mull it over.

Cheers

Hello All I'm having a 1982 2.8i restored back from bare metal. The car will be for my own pleasure, rather than to sell, however In case I do need to sell it one day, I don't want to have it painted the 'wrong' colour. So I have a few of queries.... Are any colours considered 'better'? Is there a w...

Evening All

Just came across this

http://www.silverstoneauctions.com/1987 ... lands-6822

Is this the one that was sold very recently for approx 35K?

:o The low mileage one at auction over the weekend sold for £37K!! http://www.angliacarauctions.co.uk/en/classic-auctions/latest-classic-car-catalogue/saturday-23rd-january/1987-ford-capri-28-injection-2-300-miles/ That's just nuts Does this do anything to overall values? Presumably all Capri's cont...

Looks incredible!

Very much so.....as you know I was recently in the market for my Capri and I came across an u usually high number of scam adverts. I can only assume the criminals are repeatedly doing it as it's proving successful...

Hi, Very nice indeed. I do think that red is one of those colours that really suits the Capri. The interior looks in very good condition as well. Personally, I think it needs the pepperpots put back on, but you may have a different view. From what you have said in previous posts, I think you've mad...
