Afternoon folks
I've been set the slightly daunting task of trying to secure as many endangered and rare Vauxhalls as possible for a special display at TV Live on the 7th of August at Castle Combe. So far I've come up with a short (?) list of cars that we'd like, now begins the task of actually finding them and getting them to Castle Combe.
So, if you have or you know of anybody who has any of the following in as near standard specification as humanly possible and who can be at Castle Combe bright and early on the 7th of August then please get in touch.
Incidentally, if there are other cars out there that you feel should be included in this display and meet the above criteria, again, get in touch.
The list so far...

Re: TV Live - The Rare and Endangered Display
Rather an elitist list.
If you want rare how about : a mk2 cav 2 door 1.3 auto ? I saw one for sale once, and still wish I'd bought it

Manta of some variety?

Is that a Manta-A or B ?
I bet there will be a lot less around now, due to the recent scrappage scheme.
Re: TV Live - The Rare and Endangered Display
Well, with respect it is "Total Vauxhall - The Performance Vauxhall Magazine" so the clue is in the title and yes we are aware that a 1.0 Y plate Nova is rare as is a 1904 Prince Henry, but this is a performance Vauxhall show so hence we'd like the flagship and sports models.jacko-lah wrote:Rather an elitist list.

So back on topic, can anybody from the "Mk3 Owners Club" provide us with any of the Cavalier MK3's on the above list and also be at Castle Combe on the 7th in exchange for complimentary passes and a vehicle pass?
If so, get in touch please.
Cheers
