[bazil]

has any one seen the calibra cabrio for sale in the uk? its sexy as fook:wisewood:

[burgo]

that cant be the first one youve seen surely??

[bazil]

I've been driving novas since 1994 and i've only ever seen pictures of nova sports and spiders I've never actually seen one close up, did you get them in a mk2 or is that one a build up front end?

Was this the car driven out of billing?

I mean, WTF? Why would someone want something theres only 5 of?

Or to reshell his own:(

[Jack]

I mean, WTF? Why would someone want something theres only 5 of?
All the more reason to want one IMO. Could have been stolen to order, it'd be rare enough, although that would imply it was shipped off to another RHD country as keeping it over here would be too hot. Or its been stored somewhere. Anyway, I digress.

[novacabrio]

6 UK cars, I know more or less the where abouts of all them bar 1, I do indeed own 2 and the ex owns one, which may be for sale to the right buyer, needs a rebuild but is complete with Irmscher injection, irmscher bodykit, twin lights etc, but minus interior and a roof (I have the bars for a roof just no actual roof). Its not an easy task to rebuild one so before I get bombarded with pm's asking how much bare this in mind lol.

There was never a market for the car I dont think, hence why it never caught on, the costs of converting it was to expensive and wasnt viable once the likes of the mk3 Escorts came out.

of the 6 uk cars. 2x B reg, 2x E reg and 2x F reg my stolen car (yes from Billing 2005) was the last registered I understand. F reg with brown trim!

My B reg rebuild is here

did you ever hear anything about the one which was stolen ?

[bazil]

so the mark2 one has had a nose job then:) , it does look good in mk2 style.

[novacabrio]

Nothing sadly despite my best efforts spending hundred of pounds on posting out flyers to companies in the area, taxi firms etc etc


Reg the MK2 the guy used to run corsacabrio.de and it was crash damaged he rebuild it

[bazil]

Billing 2011 is the aim for the spider its currently sat here

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/novacabrio/c75%20sport/WIP/P1050326.jpg

Started rebuild early 2006 after the last one went missing, had this in the pipeline as a 2nd one to do after I finished the one then it got stolen. So this will be my main one once done.

The 2nd one is in storage and has been since about mid to late 2006 when it was purchased

[bazil]

cool, do you have all the parts? after seeing how many novas get stolen it makes me want to put a tracker in my 2 when there built.

[novacabrio]

I have 99% of the parts yes, got all the kit brand new for it just odds and sods I need, going to rebuild it once the sport it done then strip it back down once Ive seen what I need

[bazil]

ive seen the sport's thread, proper job, im sure the spider will be superb when you get it finished.

[Graeme]

I'd love one too but the abuse I'd get for making a 'Riggy replica' would be too much I imagine

[bazil]

i have faith in you brother, i have faith:d

[Mint FRST]

The salesman from Steve Thompson Cars used to live around the corner from my parents near to my Primary School. Can always remember seeing the F plate car parked on the road back in the day!

[novacabrio]

Steve Thompson cars Lichfield is now part of the Bristol Street group who I work for, Ive had an interesting chat to the sales manager who worked there in the 80s!

[sport]

Mark, were all the spiders white?

[duick]

Spiders were available in white, silver, red and black, but most of them were white.
I even think that the RHD ones were all white

[vaughanmc]

I seen one at Billing 07 and it was a C reg one (C** XBU) ? There was also another one there with Irmscher plates on it IIRC

The C reg would be one of the imported ones, may even have been Marks old one.

[novacabrio]

Both the spiders that year were lhd, i only know of 1 other genuine rhd spider in the ownership of anyone remotly interested in them show wise (car that was on ebay now belongs to someone on here)

[vaughanmc]

Would be smart on my Mk2 :thumb:

XBU is Mitch's car(Who also owns B22HUX), the other car with the decals is Karl Goughs car. Both are LHD imports. I can remember when Tony got XBU from Germany, he got a flight from Manchester to Germany then drove the car back through Europe on his Sports English plates then swapped them to German plates when he got to the UK, not too dodgy eh:roll::d

[vaughanmc]

lol Not at all

[novacabrio]

Swapped plates at Calais lol and drove around on them for a couple of years!!

[NOVA13SPORT]
