....... this is what we got to replace her Another Zaffy ;D this one is a 2.2 elegance ,it's pretty much loaded A/C ,elec tilt and slide sunroof , x4 elec windows blah blah blah. With the family expanding we thought it would be better to get a slightly newer Zafira than the one we have . So any plans I had for another project went out the window when we found out number four was on the way Now we have this one I have to sell the silver one , pity It's a bloody good car haven't had any problems with it since I got it .

Hi everyone, I was a member on here on here a few years ago and operated under the name Cavtastic, an active member called Casper (John) based in Scotland was on the forum a lot. Since returning to the scene and as a consequence going to use my MK2 this spring i've not seen him post. Anyone know what he's doing and is he still a club member, great guy! bought my SRi a few years ago. Would like to catch up with him.

I know its a long shot with a Goverment who are more cash hungry than my wife, But there is a petition for the tax exemption to be reintroduced to vehicles over 3o years old, And with many of our cars approaching the age it may be worth a try https://submissions.epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/183

Had everything from 1.3 5 door mk2 cavalier to a tuned 2.5 v6 4 door nova saloon. On a recent barn find hunt me and a friend found a mj2 sri130 in black,it's missing a lot of parts and is rusty but I can't get it out of my head so I'm going to buy it and see how bad it is underneath and take it from there!

Hi, I've recently bought a 1983 Cav GL. Its got a C20XE engine fitted and its been off the road since 09 as it failed its MOT! I've got the rear all stripped out and started repairing (welding the sills, chassis legs). The car has x3 different keys and im sick of getting them the wrong way around so if anyone could help and guide me in the direction of a lock kit that would be great!! Im also looking to upgrade the rear axle to disc brakes if anyone has one close to Newcastle?

Hi, I’m Matt I owned a Cavalier GL back in 1998 and a 1.8 LXi in 1999 and after having parting with the Lxi decided to upgrade to a mk3 Sri which I loved for a further 7 years but, now I wish I had kept my original mk2 1.6 GL. At the moment I am rebuilding a corsa sport and using the c16se engine as I prefer 8 valve engines. I will be on the lookout for another mk2 cav in the future to restore.

Hi Everyone. I'm having to sell my Grandad's 1985 Cav L 1.6 mk2 saloon. Looking for some guidance to pricing and any future interest. As i said it's a 1985 on a D plate and has done 118odd thousand miles, garaged every night and is in a champagne metallic colour. the interior is immaculate. The car itself has MOT for 11 months and Tax until August, a few small bubbles of rust on the back arches and a small blemish on the front drivers side too. The car is a genuine acheivement to show what lasts if you look after it and so has never wanted for anything. My grandad is now 80 and with no power steering on this car has had to admit defeat, we'll all be sad to see the car g…
