February 16, 200917 yr comment_100856 Hi all, anyone have a mk2 they want to part with, something blank canvas-ish with a bit of test? Wanted one for ages, my dad had a B-reg 1.6L with a c20xe in it when i was a kid, and i loved it Plus i have a 2.0L mk3 cav engine sitting in the shed crying out for a home, and a set of early calibra alloys that i think would look sweet on a mk2 >Whats happened to all the mk2s anyway? They used to be everywhere and now i cant remember the last time i saw one ???Cheers folks Report
February 16, 200917 yr comment_100859 most of em stolen burnt crashed or scraped mate not many left but were saving as many as we can good luck with your search mate ebay has been a good place to look for a bargain Report
February 17, 200917 yr Author comment_100884 Its a bloody shame that, i always thought sierras and the like looked so dull next to cavs, although come to think of it my dad scrapped his cos it needed about 15 hours of welding doing, it was a rusty old beast Iv heard a whisper that one of my mates uncles has a C-reg CDi in the drive, gonna chase that up, plus theres a B-reg 1.6 on ebay with loads of test but it needs a wing, door and sill replacing due to a crash, and i expect the bits are impossible to find... or am i wrong? Hopefully im wrong Its only 30 odd quid so far though, with no reserve if anyones interested?Cheers for the welcome lads ;D Report

February 17, 200917 yr CLUB MEMBER comment_100894 Some dealers would fit them as a cost option - £900 + Installation of GTE harness. I only know of this because this Scottish chap I met at a historic rally in a black 130 some years ago had the receipt for the installation when the car was still only 2 months old! Report
February 17, 200917 yr Author comment_100895 Definitely something i'll look into when i get one, love digidashes, as 80's as transformers and sega megadrives ;D900 Quid is a lot, especially back then, but i'd have paid it!Been looking for a viable cav all morning :-\ Report
February 17, 200917 yr comment_100896 These can be had for about 50 quid these days, and with a bit of electrical knowledge, can be fitted for pennies Report
