neilsri130

you hope we like her ??? i LOVE her, very very smart.

That is one serious nice car love the colour,used to know of an orangey coloured one ( that was a 1.6 i think) here in Wrexham years ago buy i think it rotted out if i remember.

Do like i do work on house when she is in and nip out and do jobs on the car when she is out and say job in house took longer than you thought but i am a lying sod.

Yep that was a good buy i remember years ago turning one down for £100 as i thought it was to expensive,similar find to what you have there how times have changed.

Nice to know we can safely sleep in our beds whilst they are catching real hardened criminals.Tough on real crime i dont think so.

Yep i live in North Wales and few years ago was used to being stopped in my 130 when i went into town to pick daughter up after night out,the look on their face when they saw a 50 yr man behind wheel was funny,never got stopped in company bmw though wonder why

no you are not mad ive had many 1960,s classics all a1 condition sold them all including my beloved mgc 3 litre because i enjoy my 130 although must admit still toying with another to keep 130 company

Mine is a saloon, did you see the blue hatch when manweb was at greyhound park in Chester before they moved, if it was about 1988-1992 it belonged to a mate who worked for them and was a company car (it was more a mid blue if i remamber) he bought it than sold it on afterfew months as his wife found it to heavy for her with no power steering,

Hello and welcome to the site,push the boat out and get another cav i have a red sri130 saloon live in wrexham.I can remember some of the cavs parked in car parks in and around wrexham years ago,there were some nice ones about though many ended up in breakers round here due to rust / accidents where i found them and had the foresight to remove parts for future need. There are still a few in the area mainly owned by people on this site. Do you ever remember a nice lx / lxi in metalic blue in the area? with round driving lamps mounted in the front spoiler?

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.

Hi glynn welcome sure you will obtain a car soon. They are still about at sensible prices (mostly) depending on condition. Beauty of this club is everyone welcome standard,concours,light or heavy modds,used every day etc.
