Hello, it's me back again lol, I'm on the lookout for another cav t , yes this will be my fifth and final! I've got around 3k to get the best one I can :D

Good to see some familiar faces on here and the site looks great, look forward to talking to friends new and old...

For those who don't know me I'm Tom, a precision engineer from Gloucester, I've had 3 spectral blue turbos and a smoke grey one and will have another in the new year :D

Aup mate, how you doing? Yeah i was planing to buy Diddys at PVS, unfortuntly I had some troubles when i moved that they wouldn't insure me due to new location and ended up missing out on the car...After that i kinda gave up looking to buy one and just kept looking at them on ebay...Until the other week when I sold my mildy tuned Saab 900 SE Turbo and decided it was time for another Cav T. My own keeper this time! Need to do PVS in a cav t again at least once! :D

Good luck with your search pal. Nothing too interesting has popped up Cav turbo wise on the internet recently. A decent spectral blue one turned up that a few chaps were talking about. But it was in the £4,000 region which is top dollar for a Cav turbo. Good and honest examples are getting thin on the ground. Pm me if you want pictures and more information.

There is a chap near me about 30miles away (Heathrow side) who has a smoke grey Cavalier turbo. It has a VTS Locked box and about 90k on the clock. He's had it for approximately 10 years. He will get rid of his car if the price is right. It's not immaculate but seems like it's got a good running gear and a strong shell. It was in need of a full respray though.

that spectral blue cav t , if its been well looked after i believe he will get close to what his asking for, or it will not be sold I knew the car when Paul (ex CTOR member) had it and Tom i think you may have seen the car once before when you was visiting Jay's house was owned by someone who always looked after and bought the car whatever was needed , I o believe that the owner will be joining up on here very soon
