Great find! This isn't just a KH Laser, this is actually an Indonesian only 1990-1994 Ford [KH] Champ by those hubcaps and dual mufflers. It's basically just a KH TX3 Laser in the 5-door hatch body style. In Indonesia, four versions of the KF/KH Laser was sold: Ghia/Sonic (1.3L sedan), Gala (1.6L sedan), and Champ (TX3 5-door hatchback under a Ghia badge, 1.8L BP). This one is quite a forgotten player in terms of the compact-sized hot sedan battle in Indonesia. At the time, this would have been competing against the Toyota Corolla E90 GTi and the Mitsubishi Eterna GTi which have since become local heroes in the country. If I have the chance to own either these three, I'd LOVE to own either the Eterna or Champ. Absolute love how our example here looks here. It's still brand new and quite an unassuming sleeper with those hubcaps... ![[Image: 457123654_1146255343104567_1251586637342804473_n.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/33422/25/457123654_1146255343104567_1251586637342804473_n.jpg) Also, the jingle for this car's CM is quite catchy and ironic  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m5Gcu5sNns -- Last edit: 2025-09-14 10:09:04 |

Nice information find (and that brochure find!), lucivex!  Based on our current Indonesian Ford Laser listings so far, this is perhaps the first Indonesian KH Laser listed in this site. Seems Indonesia Republic Motor Company (IRMC), Ford's first Indonesian distributor at that time, decided to market this other 5-door liftback here as a Laser Champ when once brand new, as confirmed by another brochure I found in the internet: ![[Image: imcdb_518327571_1260772355507770_217349998068500293_n.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/28113/25/imcdb_518327571_1260772355507770_217349998068500293_n.jpg) |
