Calibra 4x4 Turbo

[trev150]

I have just picked up another Calibra.

This one is a 4x4 Turbo which makes a change from the 2 x V6's i have owned in the past. It joins my Astra Coupe Turbo on the driveway.

well done mate
doesnt it seem strange that once you have had one cali ,they seem to pull you back and make you get another

It was bought from Bob today.

Despite a small sun roof mis-hap during the test drive all was good.

It was a choice of this Calibra Turbo or Vectra GSI or Honda Accord Type-R.

This was the mrs last choice and as a result of buying the turbo "I'm in the dog house"!!!!


She'll come round......

i saw it last year when we pick up Allys se9 and its was stunning then and Bob has done a lot too it since then, im glad someone has saved it from being striped and corsaised

It will be new daily commute as i change jobs and have to give the old company car back.

I'm actually looking forward to doing 80miles a day in it!!!


Just need to fix the sun roof...

Trev, it was a pleasure to meet you and the family today. Did the trip home go OK ?

I can't apologise enough about the sunroof mishap. It really annoyed me, but I should have known better than to try a Calibra sunroof in almost sub zero temperature.

You don't know how pleased I feel knowing it has gone to someone like yourself.

Cheers, Bob.

I removed the roof lining when i got in but now i can see that i did not need to.

If you remove the centre cap near the interior light you can see a screw that holds a little gear wheel in. If you remove this you can use a large screw driver to manually wind the sun roof closed.

I just need to source the replacement parts now.

Also thanks for letting the kids use the toilet it made it a quiet journey back
