November 2021 Classics Auction
1986 Ford Capri 1.6 Laser
Registration - C775 CWU
Chassis No. - WF0CXXGAECFD62822
M.O.T. - No M.O.T
Odometer - 32,997
Finished in burgundy red, this 1986 Ford Capri 1.6 Laser has had one owner from new, with only 32,000 miles showing on the odometer. The car has had a recent brake over haul and oil service, and the vendor assures us that it starts, runs and drives. Overall, a nice, solid original car, and one which is very much in vogue these days.
Ford’s Capri was launched at the 1969 Brussels Motorshow. The fastback Coupe was intended to do for Europe what the Mustang had done for the USA – ie it was our ‘pony’ car, and would have been called Colt had Mitsubishi not bagged the name first. The monocoque body featured independent front suspension by MacPherson struts and a live axle with leaf springs at the rear. Braking was by discs/drums and the steering by rack and pinion. The newcomer was offered with a generous choice of engines. Gearboxes, like the powerplants, tended to be common to the Cortina and the model was offered in numerous levels of trim/specification – GT, E, L, X, XL, GXL, XLR etc.
