The Capri Mk III was referred to internally as "Project Carla", and although little more than an update of the Capri II, it was often referred to as the Mk III. The first cars were available in March 1978, and sold very well initially. Subtle styling changes included the bonnet's leading edge being pulled down over the top of the headlamps, making the appearance more aggressive. Introduced in November 1984, the special edition Capri Laser featured a six-gauge dashboard, tinted glass, 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. Available with a choice of 1. 6-litre or 2-litre SOHC four-cylinder engines allied to either five-speed manual or automatic transmission. The very last Capri Laser rolled off the production line at Ford's Cologne, West Germany plant during November 1986.
This manual 1. 6-litre Laser has had just 1 former keeper from new and been subject to a professional photographically documented rotisserie restoration of the bodywork and paintwork along with an engine and gearbox overhaul. In addition, the car has received a new exhaust, new suspension bushes, new hoses and been fully serviced. This very smart example is finished in its original hue of Laquer Red with Grey interior, it currently registers some 80, 300 miles and is offered with history file, handbook and current V5c document.
