Hi all, Not a Cav owner but I do like the MK2's I remember from when I was growin up (we had a brown saloon when I was a kid) and always liked the look of this model... Lovin the retro 80's steelies on it but no idea what model it is apart from the obvious (hatchback) Anyone on here got one \ any nice size pics?

Thought I'd stop by and say hello. My names Lee and I'm addicted to Cavaliers lol. Live in Sheffield and currently own a mk3 sri thats in the garage waiting for me to get off my arse and get sorted. Got a Calibra v6 DTM that I use everyday. Like everybody else I'm now looking for a late mk2 sri or 130, missed out on 2 this week already, so the Calibra will be going on Ebay next week to create space for one. If anyone knows anybody selling point them over here. Owned a few cavs in my time, both mk2 and mk3. Had a 4x4 turbo until late last year, fantastic motor until the wife started bending my ear for a new kitchen lol. Anyway good to be here and hope to meet some of yo…

Hi guys, owned vx's for a fair while now and have gone through most of the range. For some strange reason I am finding myself strangely attracted to the good old 80's classic, but was hoping for a bit more info on them first. First of all i'm looking at one with about 50,000 warranted miles and tidy bodywork for around the £150 mark, it's an 82(x) and its only the 1.6. Is this a fair price to be paying? Secondly the 1.6 would have to go, probably in favour of a 2.0 8v from the mk3/calibra. How much of a ballache would it be to do and has anyone done it before? And finally for now the bottom of the front bumper looks rusted, are these an easy replacement or is it a case …

My first car was a 'W' reg Chevette and since then I've had the following Vauxhalls .... 2 x Novas, 2 x Mk1 Astras, Manta GT, Frontera Sport, Corsa TD, ex-police 24v Senator and 2 x mk3 Cavs. On Sunday I bought a mk2 Cav cabriolet in metallic blue. 61k miles, 2 owners and completely standard apart from its had a PAS rack fitted. This will now sit proudly alongside my standard looking mk1 Astra 1200S which has been modded with a 20XE, Spax suspension and 16v brakes. I also have 3 x mk1 MR2s (don't ask), a 106GTi and a Skoda Octavia TDi as a com…

Hi New to this forum. Have been a fan of this car for a long time, first one I owed would have been a GLSI around 1990. Followed by a 1.6L around 1992 that I tried to kill myself in! (accident honest). Then in 1993 I bought my 1st convertible (that I had wanted since seeing one at the earls court motor show as a kid). I still have this car and intend to fit a V6 to it. This project has so far taken 6years and hasn't started yet, just took the car of the road!. I then bought another convertible of ebay around 3 years ago but this turned out to be rotten and wasn't worth putting back on the road then was hit and had the back caved in in my front garden! I have res…
