1990 Ford Laser KH Turbo Hatchback - White and Blue - 98,652km - 1.8L Turbocharged 4-Cylinder, 5-Speed Manual, All-Wheel Drive
Overview
The Ford Laser KH Turbo represents a pivotal moment in Australian hot hatch history. Built during the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Laser Turbo was Ford's answer to the Nissan Pulsar GTi-R and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, delivering genuine performance credentials in a compact, affordable package. This 1990 example is a two-door hatchback finished in an eye-catching white and blue colour scheme, powered by a 1.8-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission and all-wheel-drive system. At nearly 35 years old, this Laser Turbo sits at the threshold of classic car status and represents an increasingly collectible era of Japanese-influenced Australian performance motoring.
The vehicle presents in honest condition reflecting its age and 98,652-kilometre odometer reading. The white and blue two-tone exterior shows the patina expected of a 1990 model, with minor stone chipping visible on the bonnet leading edge and light kerb rash present on the front passenger alloy wheel. The rear quarter panel exhibits minor clear coat wear consistent with age-appropriate UV exposure. Interior door panels display wear patterns typical of a three-decade-old vehicle. The turbocharger and intercooler are mechanically present and visible in the engine bay, with the DOHC 16-valve turbocharged engine cover and valve cover badging confirming the authentic Turbo specification. The vehicle does not currently run, and a pre-purchase inspection is recommended for any buyer intending to recommission this classic.
The Laser Turbo occupies a unique position in the modern classic market. Original turbocharged examples are becoming harder to find as many have been modified, scrapped, or lost to time. This example, while requiring mechanical attention, retains its original drivetrain configuration and colour scheme. For enthusiasts of 1990s hot hatch culture or collectors seeking an affordable entry point into turbocharged all-wheel-drive performance history, this represents a genuine piece of Australian automotive heritage with clear restoration or project potential.
