SUMMARY

Low-mileage, 2-litre Laser recently emerged from long-term storage and rarely found in such original condition.

DESCRIPTION

  • Capri production mainly finished in 1984 with only RHD, Laser-spec vehicles available from this point
  • Introduced in November 1984, the special-edition Capri Laser featured a six-gauge dashboard, tinted glass, a tailgate-mounted spoiler, leather-trimmed gear lever/steering wheel, body-coloured grille/door mirrors, RS alloys, unique graphics, black-painted bumpers and Truro cloth upholstery
  • This 2-litre car (formerly BAZ 99) is finished in Nimbus Grey with a Grey Laser interior
  • We understand that the car was laid up around five years ago and returned to the road this year. The last MOT was in 2015
  • The odometer indicates 20,335 miles which our vendor believes to be correct
  • Recently emerged from long-term hibernation and rarely found in such original condition
  • Offered at No Reserve, this lovely low-mileage Laser would be a great addition to any collection of rare Fords

From November 1984 onwards, the Capri was sold in the UK exclusively, with only right hand drive cars being built from that date. Ford were naturally keen to sell their remaining stock, so the normally-aspirated 1.6 and 2.0-litre variants were rebranded with a new trim level – "Laser" – which featured a six-gauge dashboard, tinted glass, a tailgate-mounted spoiler, leather-trimmed gear lever/steering wheel, body-coloured grille/door mirrors, RS alloys, unique graphics, black-painted bumpers and Truro cloth upholstery.

This very smart 2-litre example is finished In Nimbus Grey with a Grey Laser interior. It appears to be completely standard, still fitted with its original Ford radio and is in excellent condition both inside and out. We understand that it was laid-up around five years ago and prior to that, judging by the number of photos online at car shows (registered BAZ 99 at the time), and the very low mileage, we assume it was owned by a Capri enthusiast who used it as a show car taking immense pride in its condition. The current indicated mileage is 20,335 which appears to be corroborated by the MOT history;

2003 16,578 miles

2004 16,596

2005 16,603

2007 16,707   All by Kingswinford Garage

2008 16,899   West Bromwich now wearing BAZ 99

2009 17,210   Bilston

2010 17,710   Bilston

2011 18,083   Bilston

2012 18,493   Bilston

2013 18,890   Bilston

2014 19,403   Bilston

2015 19,639   Bilston

A new MOT was issued at 20,335 miles on 21/7/2021 and the car is fully prepared and ready for sale. Offered at 'No Reserve', this lovely low-mileage Laser would be a great addition to any collection of rare Fords.
