Quick History + Background
This car is a Calibra Turbo LE, #28 of 51 ever made. One of the last batch to be produced as a limited edition at the end of the Calibra run. Registered on 1 Jan 1997. I bought this car as standard with a full V service History and logbook. The car has been kept to the highest standard with a waterpump and cam belt change done soon after I bought it. Through my own ignorance I didn't specifically check the idlers were changed and hence the GF50 failed. (I am ignorant no more). So a new engine was fitted by Vaux (under warrenty until July!) and I soon after had the turbo replaced by turbo technics. Some minor mods have been done to the car but nothing serious.

Hi,
Check the detailed description
"110k on the odometer"
Rather than concentrate on this fact I would prefer to make more of the engine replacement and quality history of the car!!! Not many LETs around with 10K and a manafacturers warrenty!
