opel2000 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Hello mate, I think you'll find that a lot of us Manta owners also had Calibra's as second cars, a lot of us in the OMOC always saw these as what would have been GM's replacement for the Manta. I Had an XE Cally which was a wonderful car, but some clown had messed about with the electrics on it and it simply had to go in the end due to too many electrical faults cropping up. Would still like a good low mileage XE Cally to this day. Damn fine motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn fine motors. keep your eyes peeled mate loads of them still about anything from 50 to 500 ponds these days,but yes it is very hard to find one thats not been c0cked up by a chav. i never thought of the cally being a replacement for the manta is that kinda true? as it would make a good follow on from my calibra history in a weird star war's sort of way cally history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
