wow thats clean, what a great find!
Ive been watching a few clean ones on ebay thiking how nice it would be to have a standard daily driver and the pineapple for weekends. However Ive got a mint rust free XE Calibra which must be almost as rare these days, so I'm persuading myself to keep that!

Think there is a couple off Astra's down your way off of here.
Their is certainly quite a few up north of the border now. :applause:
Ayr would make a great meeting place for some mk2 fun.

Weekenny is from Ayr not sure if he still has a mk2.
There is Meatyp from Ballieston and someone from Paisley people from Oban and quite a few from Edinburgh direction.
Saying that mine is still a paint job away from the road. :grumpy:
