  1. What is the car like underneath ? Being a car from South Africa i would think it will be very good with perhaps a little surface rust as unlike the UK you dont you have the rain we have and they probably dont cover the roads with salt like we do here during the winter.
  2. Welcome to the site, that looks like a nice car is it sound underneath, The problems you have had remind me of my days of ownership with of several Triumph Dolomite Sprints few years ago.
  3. Welcome to the site, that estate looks a good one and very practical for a family man. They were the favourite of decorators and window cleaners some years back when they were cheap as chips. a mate of mine had several at different times as a self employed decorator over the years and just ran them as a working car until they failed the mot or broke down. If i remember i don,t think he ever paid more than £400 ( those were the days ) and never even serviced them although i once did a cam belt, oil and filter etc change for him on on particular nice one. Hope you manage to find a gear lever gaiter i have seen new old stock ones fetching over 80 plus quid on the bay.
  4. Hi and welcome Micky, site quiet thanks i think due to face book. I am ancient and do not use social media.
  5. Had hoped to make it for one day as visitor, but mother in law has moved into a full time care home in Monmouth this weekend so we had to assist ( at the age of 71 myself ) plus empty her belongings etc from previous home. As most of family scattered from Aberdeen and London way it fell on us from N Wales to assist. Hope you all have a good time.
  6. Fallen in love with this car.
  7. Welcome, nice looking car the colour really suits it,
  8. Gear wheel will come out by removing the bolt not really possible to repair it, may be worth checking that the end of the cable is fitted into the end of the gear wheel fully. If the gear wheel is u s someone oh here will probably have one, i have just checked my spare gearbox and the gear wheel is not fitted only a rubber bung.
  9. Hi Andy and welcome to the site. That must be a rare car.
  10. Welcome, looks a nice car. must say i like the countryside views.
  11. Looks a very nice car was that the one that was for sale on ebay?
  12. Welcome to the site, have you got any pictures yet of the cabby?
  13. Welcome to the site, never owned a Cally but have a 130 saloon in Carmen Red. You only have to read the projects past and present on here to see where our cars rust ( everywhere you can and cannot see ) and there is plenty of advice and knowledge on here concerning all aspects of restoration and maintenance. Tahir is the man to go to regarding these cars and Rabbit by me has been restoring a Cally for some time dont know how he is getting on with it as bloody COVID has kept me away ( i will be 70 next year so well and truly self isolating )
  14. Eighteen months ago i paid £25 for two new in the bag GM old stock headlamp wiper arms with 4 new blades from a local guy here in Ruabon who had a 130 around 30 years ago which i thought was very cheap but no motors, fortunately both mine were ok. I think used motors will be very rare though i don,t recall ever seeing any for sale.

    Hello again

    Hello Abo nice to hear from you again and that you hope to get another Cav. We are all a little older now and i have more forehead to wash but still have the red 130. It has had a major engine rebuild a few years ago and a professional external repaint due to fading etc. Hope you can find a good Cav as they are rare now and prices are creeping up but not to fast yet.
