neilsri130

Hi i live in Wrexham and drive a mk2 sri 130 saloon in carmine red. Welcome to the site, Rabbit is the man who can help if you are looking for a mk2,he does have a few!!!!

Hi Shaun live in Wrexham drive sri130 Saloon dont work at present casualty of recession welcome to club .Where do you work in Wrexham/

Welcome to the site 130,s seem to be sprouting up more frequently lately. Is it solid underneath? By the way i envy you living where you do its a lovely island.

I like that one,will keep it in my list of ways to beat finance committe.

Do what i do have a secret stash (say 200-500 quid) than tell household finance committe it

only costs half of what it really does. (cannot do that at present as redundant/unemployed)

That looks a tidy motor is she sound underneath ?

Quite a rare car now i would restore / get it restored and enjoy it.

Used to drive one exactly same colour and spec as company pool car,it went very well and for some reason it would sit on the bumper of the early eighties xr3 (not xr3i) all day at any speed once over 60mph as a few found out (not on public roads of course!!)and left the F*** S***** 1.6 for dead.Think thats what started me getting into Vauxhalls & mk2 cavs.

Hi and welcome good choice hope you find one,had mine for about 15 years will never sell it hope to have another next year to keep it company,must be another saloon though.

Hello and welcome i also spent some time in the merch as a R/Officer awful lot of seadogs/ex seadogs in the club must be something about mk2 cavs that attracts us. In my day most young uns ran Triumph TR6,s I ran a sunbeam Alpine Harrington Le Mans wish i still had it even though boot had plank on floor to stop spare falling through rotten floor, happy days,

Late i know but welcome are there many cavaliers out there ?

Hi steve welcome to the club,hope you manage to find a good mk2 any preferences,sri / 130 / cdi or... I drive an sri130 saloon had it since about 1993  i went to look at an astra mk2 16v and saw the cav, two owners (same family ) and 41000 on the clock full history etc just had to have it  someone else was looking at it/sitting in it so did rash thing went up to sales man stuck cash on his desk said i wanted it without trying it out did not haggle over price (was cheaper than astra anyway) signed for it just as other people came in to discuss purchase,never regreted it since

Do you want one to restore or one that has been restored or still in good nik ? boy can they rot, my advice plaster it with waxoyl everywhere probably reason why mine is still original apart from rear wing replaced 12years ago after small knock.

There are plenty of people in the club to advise you anyway if you need it. Anyway good luck with your search.
