Na, I don't think they are pikey at all. Later ones with leather look really nice with a stylish set of wheels.

If I had one I would have the dark grey colour like my mates and fit those Kahn wheels that Scoob and Kirsty have on there cars.

Why are Calibras so cheap to buy nowdays? There are some really good examples on AutoTrader with leather and aircon and redtop engines with below average mileage for around £1500.

Cav equivilants tend to be worth more than the cally r.g even a rotten cav turbo is worth 2.5K min and worth more in spares :! hence why they ar e adying breed.

Cally is base on the cav but from a reliable source the cav is much nicer to drive.
