I'm a big fan of the griffin badge and since I passed my test nearly two years ago Ived owned a sweet P plate Mk 3 astra sport , but a couple of days ago I decided to go for something faster,classier and lets say Old skool....A Mk 2 Cavalier SRi 130 saloon in white 8)!!

Hi all, just thought i'd say hello. It's been 11 long years since I had my last MK2. I had 2 MK2's, an '86 platinum 1.8 SRi saloon on a D plate (pre 87 facelift), and an '87 black SRi130 saloon on an E plate. I sold the 1.8 to my bro who sold it soon after to a bloke who killed it , then I eventually traded my 130 for a Mondeo 2.0Si (don't hate me!!) and have had 4 Mondeos since. I'm now considering getting another MK2 saloon (130 preferred) as I miss my old 130. Finally, VERY long shot here - has anybody owned, or know of E437SWX black SRi130 saloon? DVLA reckon it's been unlicensed since 2001 so it's probably lone gone, but it could be rotting in somebody's drive/ga…

was waching road wars last night on sky 3 for those who dont know what it is basicly police camera action anyway they pulled a white mk2 doing 120 down the hard sholder then pulled a red mk2 which had a calibre kit on not sure if it was genuine or not for haveing no lights on in the dark they found a 15 year old girl driveing it!!! obviously i have to admire her good taste in cars but wonder if anyone on here knows the story behind the car i think the program was made around 2001 hopefully the police didnt crush it

Hi again, From tommorrow i should be the new owner of a gold 83 Sri, bought from Richie. I have been around the site for some time but without really being active mainly as i did not have a mk2, so i hope now to change that. I have been after an early spec SRi for some time as i love the early retro vxhalls. My first car was a chevette which was terrible then a mk1 astra 1300, then my first mk2 cav which was a beige(nice) mid spec SRi B299VOR i think, i have never seen a beige one since?. this was really the first car of note that i can remember being special so i always find myself drawn to them now, some 17 years later!! Then i got a red later spec d plater, then was a…

I have finally found myself a MK2... Last night I put a deposit on a 1988 F plate 1.6 saloon - exactly what I need, the car itself is in excellent condition and has only had 2 local owners from new with FSH, finished in i believe Rembrant Silver with just a small amount of rust on the wheel arch starting, nothing on top of the screens at all - but it has an brand new early spec bumper on it which i will change to a late spec and it needs a late spec headlight and indicator on the passenger side where he 'dropped a tin of paint on the old one' apart from that she is fine. Has a sunroof and is a pretty looking car. Can't wait to get her next weekend now... I'm also on the…

Hello everyone, I thought I had better introduce myself, having posted a couple of times. I joined after chasing Andy's very fine SR/E down the M4 near Bristol (at legal speeds of course) and have now sold my classic BMW 528i and am after a SRi. I have always wanted to strip a car to a bare shell and re build it factory fresh and standard, the Cavalier is simple enough to do this with my skill level. BITD (when I was 19-22) I had a Cavalier L (my login name is the plate of that fine car) and bought a written off SRi and transplanted all the bits, including the mint condition green on black tartan interior. I loved it and have always hankered after a real SRi. Hopeful…
