i take it you have to pull the rear seats down then?

[Fraz]

I guess thats the only way to get into the boot, but where does all that fabric go ???? won't that be in the way of getting in from the rear seats

[jonthevauxhallman]

No you don't go through the rear seats, once the rear section of the cabrio roof or the tonneau cover is lifted up you have full access to the boot area, reaching in from the rear 1/4 wings or rear panel area.

you know your going to be asked to bring it to Billing eh John lol

yep must be a bugger to get the space saver out

must change my signature bit to calibras are family cars if they got a normal roof
still car does look very well with roof down but i do like the lumma one even more

[jonthevauxhallman]

I don.t disagree the Lumma one is nice, but it is a bit of a stretch over the center consul to get to the steering wheel.

And the conversion work did not cost as much for the guy who carried it out.

it human nature to find fault in everything

[jonthevauxhallman]

So I can see

[cally8valver]

dont get me wrong the car looks very nice and i really carnt understand why vauxhall never produced them as i think they would have given alot of the cabrios out at the time a good run for their money

[jonthevauxhallman]

I agree, that's why when I saw it for sale I decided to sell my Tickford and get the cabrio, I viewed it first and straight away could see the lines and how it would look.

I have spent a lot of time finishing off what the first owner didn't, It is not yet finished fully but at least it's back on the road.

I am not 100% on the leather trim so am looking for a black set, also the Digital dash that I have fitted needs finishing off or I am on the look out for a genuine Calibra/Vectra digital dash.

[cally8valver]

good luck findin thedigital dash rocking horse s@@t springs to mind
but as for the leather i had a nautilus blue one with black interior and i changed it for the cream seemed to brighten up the whole car no end but my door panels where standard black with cream inserts at top

[vinny_69]

for all i know the space saver hole had been modded so you could get at it from underneath ax style

John dont take there coments the wriong way im sure there not ment the way they sound more like idle curiousty,I think yours is a good example and I hope you bring it along to Billing as i want to have a go at building one vx should have made one,
I had a calibra digi dash and gave it away as it wasnt jills cup of tea.
