Wow, i love the Calibra 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)
I used to own a white one many years back. I haven't seen one on the road for a long time (they used to be every where) :(
A future classic if ever there was one, if not already :y :y

Very nice example - was only thinking the other day that there are very few nice Calibra's around.

I once had the 4x4 turbo for a couple of weeks and it was an amazingly fast car for the time.

Can't say that I blame you Eco - it's very nice indeed.

For some strange reason I quite fancy that myself.

Very rare colour, that - although I can't remember what it's called!

I used to have an L reg SE2 with custom leather and before that, a nice standard K reg redtop with standard leather. Great fun!

Did someone say Diamond Black!?!?

Now that's a FINE colour!! Possibly even nicer on a Calibra, than on an Omega. Lovely.  :o :o :y
