v6 motorsport ls sri saloon

Post by humbucker »

well, not sure what it was as it seemed to have trim from all those models on it, but it was a white saloon with motorsport decal but a v6 badge on the boot, with sri wheels. spotted it in royston, hertfordshire, and then promptly put a cavmk3oc flyer under the windscreen wiper but not sure if they've come on to say hello or not. was it you?! :wave :D

Just seen your PM mate.

Yeah I've got one of the 80 or so v6 Cesaros left on the road.

The a basically 1.8LS spec. with a V6 engine in. It dosen't even have standard v6 antiroll bars. they are skinny 1.8 jobbies.

But they do have v6 5 stud hubs a breaks. Rear discs And Traction control/ABS.

The 1.8 Cesaro had the multispoke SRi style 15"'s the V6 version has 5 stud SRi fan blades. They have a SRI/Turbo boot spolier and black strip around the bumpers and doors. (Where on SRi they are red, and CDX/GLS they are chrome)

They also have Recro seats and a poco dot seat pattern only found in the Cesaro models. of astra mk3 and Cavalier Mk3.

Mine is a white Auto saloon.

You could get FLame red, Diamond black and (I think a lagoon type blue. At least in the 1.8)

Excuse the dirt. This was taken the day I bought it after a 200mile driven home.

that was it, that top pic is the same as the one i saw in royston; the sri wheels, the motorsport badges and the v6 badge on the boot. it was a white one too. it would be great if the owner popped up, as i said earlier i did leave a flyer under the wiper. i vandalise a lot of cavaliers in that way hehehe! so this is a cesaro eh, i see. cheers for the heads up anyway, you've given me another idea for the forum, a comprehensive model/spec list... will add it to the list...! :lol:

steven's right, the wheels on yours make a huge difference. ;)

Cheers mate. They'll be refurbed in Satin black, once the BTCC Decals go on and I've fitted the Front splitter.

I just cant find a sutable Boot spoiler any where :scratch

the boot spoiler on my cavalier is a genuine irmscher item, fitted as an extra by the previous owner at the original point of sale. i have a receipt for it in the history, £500 which in 1994 was worth even more than it is now. if you're after a 'bargain' irmscher uk are selling one on ebay at the moment as new for £300... with inflation and the price reduction i'm sure that's a bargain of sorts...?! mine is the only one i've seen like it, the others are non irmscher split items:

yeah he had a poorly nephew, but i dont think that was the catalyst for building the car. i read his project thread from when it went online and i think he wanted to have it finished in time to drive his nephew around in before he got too ill (or worse :( )
