NOW SOLD
OK, not exactly retro...but I thought I'd have a go!
***
This 1996 N-reg Vauxhall Calibra 2.0 16v has had just two previous owners from new, having started life as an IBM UK company car. It is well presented in Glacier White and is being sold as a project for spares/repair.
Firstly, the good points!
* 73,000 genuine miles from new (history and supporting paperwork to back this up)
* Air Conditioning
* Heated black leather interior
* Twin airbags (driver and passenger)
* 5-spoke alloy wheels in great condition
* Lovely Auto ‘box with sports mode
* 9 months' MOT
* Taxed
The faults are as follows:
* The timing belt snapped, possibly causing some engine damage – therefore it currently does not run
* The rear tyres are of the incorrect profile (or if not, they’re certainly different from those on the front wheels)
* Front bumper is cracked (currently covered with brown tape which looks tatty!) and towing eye cover missing – the bonnet also sits slightly too high on this side, which I understand can be adjusted easily
* The outside temp/clock (Dual Information Display) has an intermittent display fault
Please note, this sale does not include the Irmscher rear spoiler shown in the pictures, which has now been removed. I believe the standard stereo may be faulty - if so, this will be swapped out for a Pioneer clip-front as part of the sale.
I’ve been brutally honest with the list of faults, after all it’s not worth my while being anything but – that just wastes my time and yours. The car is located just south of Reading, Berkshire (2 miles M4 J11) and the buyer will need to arrange transportation. I’m asking £500.
I’ll be happy to answer any questions by PM/email but you’d get a quicker response by phone/text on 07900 491719.
