Just Watching Wheeler Dealers - restoring a Ford Capri 1.6 Laser
I've always wanted one of these, since i was a kid
Coool car
That is one car I always liked but never owned. Nearly came to buy one once but went for something else, was a mk1 V4 GT iirc. Mates all had them ranging from 2.0S, 3.0S, Ghia, 2.8i and a JPS. Always tail happy as I remember when pushed, quite common to see a bag or two of cement in the back.
I always had a soft spot for the Ford Capri. I was born in 1970 and as a child it was the shape I loved. Into the 1980s and I fancied a Tickford Capri Turbo, which is a 2.8i which was extensively modified by Aston Martin.
In 1988 I drove a 1983 model 2.0 Capri and my dreams were shattered. My Dad's 1.6 Sierra of the same age was quicker, had PAS (unusually back then), was quieter and felt far more secure on the road even to according to my fledgling experience. I later discovered that the Sierra had independent rear suspension. The Capri didn't.
Yup rigid axle and leafs spring make for a lively ride indeed.
Especially if your in a 2.8. The one my parents had went very well. Tail happy but quick.
