Cavtastic

Going to get the Mk2 Cav out out of the back of the garage and use it. It's been 9 years and I've decided it time!. Went to billing this year and looked around the MK2 Cavs lined up. Daz's SRi looked as good as it gets, beautful standard car,couple of CDi's which looked really nice, and a nice white standard base saloon which impressed me because you don't see them do you! Been reading the talk on MK2 SRi values. They always were a mega beautful car, it's taken a bit longer for the chaps who had them new as company cars to remember them and go looking for them. 1979 Austin Maxi went for over 1k last month on ebay so Mk2 SRi's are defo worth it for a good one. I quite like the red SRi on ebay at the moment but cannot decide if it is genuine or not?

At least this time of year in Norway, with 23 hours of darkness there's nothing else to do than go in the garage and get the car ready for spring in July. I think they stop salting the roads between July 20th and Aug 1st ;D ;D

There's always one isnt there ;D ;D. Looks immaculate makes you sick don't it.

Been to Tenerife for two weeks. Spotted 8 mk2 Cavs (Ascona's) all absolutely immaculate apart from a couple with door dents. All of them were saloons GT's, GL's and one modified beauty. Yes coming from Mr Standard it's hard to believe Im saying it. Why no Hatchbacks does anyone have any idea. Wish I could bring a left hooker back and convert to right hand drive.

Just started to break MK3 Cavalier Diplomat 1993 2.0 8v with Cat. Is it the 116BHP or will it have the 130bhp SEH engine fitted.

Bought a 1997 1.8 LS vectra today as a cheap runner, not as bad as I thought. Drives ok, looks ok, fuel consumption ok, why did it get such a shi# road test when it first came out. ??? Anyone else got anything nice to say about the the thing called "Vectra" or Should GM of kept the MK2 Cavalier in production

Agreed, keep it very standard, would be nice to see a standard late immaculate Mk2 Cav on a club stand.

Thanks for the info SR16, off to test drive one and possibly put one in the garage

Thats what I have heard not good around corners! Are we talking MORRIS MARINA cornering here

Hi casper nice to here from you again. Possibly only got a budget of £17000 and wife say's a few cars have to go. Corsair and possibly the MK3 SRi which has not seen daylight since 96, but we are working on that one :'( Probably call her bluff! and stall! for a couple of years until she forgets

Been looking at the new vectra sri 1.9 or 2.2. Keeping the old MK2 Cav for special days. Anyone got one or knows how good they are compared to the mondeo (sorry) but it is a really good car shame it's a ford. Info and views would be welcome

I know a lot of folk are dropping petrol 16v reds in there cars but has anyone thought of dropping in a modern Turbo direct injection into a MK2. 150BHP out of a modern unit, 50MPG and all that torque you could ever need. Shoot me down but must be worth a look at £1+ for fuel within the month.

Think I keep dads tapes in the car :-X on second thoughts Jim Reeves! (who the fu## is Jim Reeves) its defo out the window. In comes "Haircut 100" and love plus one---Remember this anyone

Yes your right if I put a after market sound box into it then where would it end! the next step would be an amp in the boot and blue neon windscreen wiper water jets sticking out of the bonnet

Don't honestly Know It must come out soon so I can get the side painted in original solvent based paint before everyone goes to using water based paint. Why does water based paint not come off when it rains? The wife's mascara run's every time when I come back with another car ;D. When I get the GTE Manta finished it will defo come out. The main problem is it is at the back of the garage behind 2 other cars but I will have a shift around. It was out in the drive last summer for an hour, started ok after a long HT leads off crank. Should I keep the original sound box in it or put a 10 stack system sony box in it out of the MK3 which is going to be broken this weekend
