took a flight to Norwich to lift this back in march time 08
1995, one elderly owner from new who sadly died at the start of the year, when he retired he treated himself to a brand spankin cali tubby and it was his 3rd car so only used on special occasions. Has all old mot's etc and the only mods are factory option cat 1 alarm and factory option sony HU wi 10disc changer. He lso had a tow bar fitted to allow him to transport his motability cart on a small trailer, which he used twice apparently.
All tires etc have been rotated as per vauxhalls instructions so 4x4 is grand and has brand new rubber too. It appears the car has wanted for nothing and drives 110% i absolutely love it.
by time i got it home from norwich the milage has just crept past 23k :( not bad for 1995
colour wudnt have been my choice but the condition is unreal, i cant find a parking dent or scratch on the car, and i guess the few stone chips i have found were more than likely by me on way to the boat!!!
1995 Calibra 4x4 2.0 Turbo (C20LET 205 BHP) 6 speed gearbox full cream leather heated interior 23k Air con and sun roof
0-60 6.5secs top speed 159
pity sun wasnt out to show the colour better, but here's some pics...
took few quick snaps when sun was out, hard colour to get on camera, seems to com out very dark and brit racing green like :S in the flesh it gives nice goldy shine in good light
put some metro plates on jus to freshen up the old tatty ones but some folk dont seem to like them, might seek out some dealer plates before next summer
calibra's goin for storage got it washed underneath on monday so took the good weather and a mate gimme hand gettin it all wax oiled underneath altho its a good dry place its goin to be sitting but thought better do it anyhows
and the only pic i have of the cali and cav together, would have liked to got a few good snaps of the 2 of em together before cali goes but waiting on a coolant hose comin for the cav so its goin nowhere :(
not much exciting but few pics of her tucked up till nov for mot, then hibernation pretty much for winter bar a few starts and short runs
a neighbour had approached me and asked me to sell him the wee astra sri turbo i had, and i then agreed, started lookin about for summat to replace it, ideally i wanted another cav turbo but gettin one in decent/average condition was proving hard so i widened the search and found this green one and a white dtm turbo which had 80k on some of the calibra forums, was always a sucker for the dtm and it really appealed, wasnt overly keen on the green. But took the risk on the green one and booked the flights, honestly didnt expect it to be as good as it is but my jaw dropped when i seen it and got a spin... was a permanent smile from Norwich to Stranraer
