Whats it worth!....Capri 2.0 laser!

[Guest pooface]

Picked up a Capri 2.0 laser (1987) intending on breaking it but have now realised its just way to good!

 

its Rosso red and showing 43k on the clocks (no way is it 143k as the inside of the car is like new!) unfortunatly there is no history with it and it needs paintwork due to dents so now all i need to try and work out is what is it worth when its back to being mint and has a full mot? just so i know how well to fix it up and how much ££'s to spend!

 

Just to add its never been welded has no rust arround the sunroof, sills wings or arches

 

Help? lol

Oh and it has a Late 205 block and head so unleadded friendly (sierra on i think)

interesting that, i am into my capris but i dont think i am able to give you a reliable valuation (sorry)

 

I had a 87 laser with a 205 block, a 50k car when i bought it and pretty original

 

point is people would always tell me they never made capris with the 205 block ...

if it is a mint one you can easily see £1000 for it, maybe even £1500, the only trouble is it having had an engine swap, not original but mint still. The sad thing about them is that the Laser wasn't exactly a "set em alight" sort of car, a good car still but never quite reached the status of the Injection or Sport models. One of my mates has a mint 1.6 Laser she has been trying to sell for near on a year and slowly the price is now down to £1000, no-one seems to want the small engined cappers these days.

flash cadilac is after a 1.6 capri. look in the cars wanted section

adam if i was id see what it needs for a test and go from there. capris realy dont fetch a lot of money but it would be a shame to break such a good car pm with what ur after for it with or without mot as a m8 needs a good shell for a v8 project

late lasers had 165 1600 blocks & 205 20L blocks i know this for sure as i have broken/stripped stacks of them. but just because it's a 205 block it doesn't mean it's unleaded, so best to stick LRP or fuel additive in it
