jbk5x Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Remember it well from last year. I bid up to 1200 quid without seeing it, before I got the GSi. Car eventually went to Aberdeen I think. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiney_norman Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 The seller is the same person I've just bought a complete mint condition blue interior from, as well as an exhaust and a door last year. He's just outside Glasgow if anyone wanted to go look at it. Top bloke, if the car's half as good as the interior I've just had from him it'll be a stunner.

Julian Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) Hopefully they will pop into here. i KNEW SOMEONE WOULD SPOT IT! I bought it Thursday evening,we flew up to Scotland with BMI Baby Thursday morning, stayed with my sister in law in Haddington, Nr Edinburgh, we met the owner, and car in the service station Thusday evening, a very nice guy, done a deal, went back to Haddington with the car, left Haddington Friday morning 0900, arrived at Kidwelly at 2000, the car is an absolute stunner, it's like new, the interior looks as though anyone has ever been inside it. I took it down to the local Testing Station this morning,just to have a good look underneath, the tester was airlocked, he didn;t know what to say, he called the three mechanics out of he workshop to see it, it is totally solid everywhere. Right then so you know now where it is, Not in Scotland!!! Julian. PS. 1979 RED MANTA COUPE FOR SALE SOON!!!

I don't know what has gone wrong with photobucket, I've spent about two hours trying to put pics on, so I've given up. There are good pics on the ebay listing though. Julian.

spiney_norman Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Cheers! My Sportshatch has been lowered a ridiculous amount, but even on the roads of Cardiff (some of which I swear feel like cobbles) it's bearable. I'd like to lower my coupe a bit before I get it back on the road, it just looks wrong sat so high up now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanosabby Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 My coupe is on 40mm springs and here is a gratuitous picture of it for you to see. Enjoy the Cav Julian, I have never owned a car that has got this much attention even my 944 turbo never got looks like the cav.
