Another MK2 cavalier enroute to Scotland

[Kenny dock]

Hello, just bought a mk2 cavalier  I live just outside glasgow. Onto 3rd classic. Just sold 1988 Orion ghia , before that it was a 1979 manta Sr berlinetta. I prefer clean low milers, as I don't do welding. Anyway love cavaliers, dad had 2. One an 84 GLS saloon. Amazing car.  This one is a clean low mileage poverty spec car, but to me the base models are just as awesome. Here's link to some history and photos of my new very greeeeeeeeeeen car

Remember one exactly the same colour and model in Clwyd Breakers outside Wrexham about 15+ years ago, not in bad nick but nowhere as good as yours ( nice find by the way ) It was on sale with the remaining mot on it for about £80 if i remember correctly, how times have changed.

Hi from another Scot, I also live just outside Glasgow too. I live on the southside not far from cavvypogo. Good to see another Cavalier coming to Glasgow . It looks good mate a cracking example. Just wondering was the Orion ghia white?

[Kenny dock]

No the Orion Ghia was blue.  8) where in the south side are you?

[Jamesieboy]

I am in Newton Mearns, think the Orion I seen a few months back was white but can't quite remember now lol. If you live on the south side you might have seen an old Avenger top hat (blue body white roof) that's me. There seems to be a few members in the Glasgow area, would be good to see if we could arrange a meet over the Christmas hogmany period.

[cavvypogo]

I'd be up for that James but I'd need to attend in my insignia as the cav is definately a non runner at the minute lol 

[Jamesieboy]

Sorry for the thread hijack Kenny but obviously you'd be invited too .  Sounds good, I am officially off the week's of Christmas and New year, but unofficially from next week. Just don't tell me boss lol  . The Insignia would be ok still a Vauxhall. Where abouts in Glasgow are you Kenny? Be good to see your Cavvy in the flesh.

Cheers James and technically it's evolution of our beloved cavs but more modern and not rotten lol

I'm in Paisley. I've yet to pick the car up. It's in northern Ireland, I'm going over 3rd week in January to pick it up. I'm over there for my girlfriends mums birthday then anyway. No point going over twice at 200 quid a time. Car is stored in a big barn anyway. Would be into meeting up. Why is yours a non runner? Could we meet up first week in Feb?

[Jamesieboy]

Hi Kenny when I was looking for a cav I seen one in northern Ireland, a white one was really good but at £3250 was a bit pricey. Then as you say the ferry is quite expensive. February might be a bit akward as back to work fully then but should manage something,  but even a meet before without it would be good  . Cavvypogo's is a restoration project I believe, he can correct me if I am wrong. Mine is on the road all be it needing some tlc and work. Where in Paisley are you? It's just a long the road from me lol, just nip throu Barrhead.

[Jamesieboy]

As you say cavvypogo the Insignia is just the evolution of our cars, Cavalier, Vectra then Insignia. Or was there something between the Vectra and Insignia, can't remember off hand.

Yea mine is being restored at the moment and taking longer than it really should tbh but in hoping to have it on road early in 2015 and my goal is billing but would be happy to attend a meet and see some running cavs anytime

[Kenny dock]

I've seen the white one. Its nice, I know the seller he does come and go on price and takes travel into account. Last week in Jan we could meet. Just let me know what date and time. I would prefer to have the car let it be seen. And see others.

[Jamesieboy]

Just a thought how about Jan the 27th its a tuesday, generally the best day/night for me. If Sal is out there reading this I am sure you'd be more than welcome 

[sal]

Cheers for invite . Just let me know what date you are meeting and I'll see if it suits my shifts. I won't be able to bring cavalier in January tho as its sorn until April.

Merry Xmas

[Kenny dock]

OK no probs. Hopefully I will be off shift as well
