Title: My 1995 MV6
Post by: Mr.Mint on 28 June 2009, 12:08:43
Here are a few pics of my motor.  Ex-plod, silly miles and going like a watch.  Great craic too and more than fit to hold it's own with quite a few younger motors.

It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it gets quite a reaction at shows, meets, etc.

All C&C Welcome.

To be honest I wouldn't have black alloy's, I'd go for silver or chrome :-/ :-/.  But apart from that, which of course is personal taste,  I love that mixture of black and white which is on a great looking motor! :-* :-* 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

I worked for ECC briefly mate, the stickers were for a bit of advertising only.  They never done a thing to it...

Jesus man, I can remember Stealth's being launched, every car in Northern Ireland at the time must have had a set on it...

Damn, think I just really gave away my age.......ah well.

I've always said Migs should've been made in white but high spec. Imagine a white ELITE with green glass & cream leather. Or a white MV6 with black recaro seats.
   White is a classy colour. Shame it's become poverty or plod spec. BTW Luvvit!!! 8-) :y

From a stylists point of view when you have a ex-job car you're never really going to get away from that; unless you want to spend the car's value on a respray...

But Im really pleased to see what some thought, common sense, and effort (and that shows, by the way) has done to an ex-plodder. I'd normally hate something like a gloss black spoiler..but you get away with it because of the alloys, etc..

I'm impressed  :y

Why thank you... comments like that mean a lot.  Unfortunately I have had to sell up for reasons beyond my control, and the fact that I got offered daft money for it!

I have still stayed with the Vauxhall Brand though and still drive the Cav everyday and have just finished the Vec aswell.

I would be really tempted to by another Mig though, but it's just finding a good one these days.  The young guys over here have discovered that with the correct back end they can behave badly in them, and it means that they are all getting thrashed.  Unfortunately they have become a victim of their own success in this part of the world.

Thanks again for all the comments guys and gals.  Should you here of any 3.0 manuals up for grabs, please don't be afraid to shout.

Cheers,
Jay.

nice looking car!

i dont like white cars usually, but the black-white contrast is great!

Is that a spoiler on front bumper? What kind is is?
is it ABS or fiberglass?

Mk3 Golf bumper spoiler.  A bit tricky to fit, but looks well when it's on...
