calibra black leather interior, heated seats

not very locost I know, but if anybody is interested, we have a mint (no noticeable wear or damage anywhere) and COMPLETE (as in EVERY part) late calibra black leather interior, with heated seats, which are pretty rare.

£100 the lot, will still have the car so if I miss a bit you're welcome to take it out!

Brought a tear to my eye, knowing that yet another Calibra is being broken for parts. I miss mine, and tried for a short while to find one similary clean and rot-free, to no avail.

Amazing cars, hard pushed to find a similarly styled model by any manufacturer nowadays.

yep, sorry!

Its really pretty good, got an "interesting" but actually not at all bad bodykit on it as well, will be sticking all the bits on migweb at some point.

Bought it for the engine, funnily enough!

I'm pretty much buying any I find at the right price locally, as XE engines in decent and test driveable condition are getting scarce now.

Sorry mate - looks like a PITA.

Fits the B easily. Great shame as that would have been hysterical in my van.

I know they fit in a corsa as I sold a set previously to someone who fitted them. However, from memory, you need to unbolt the calibra runners and replace them with the ones from the corsa seats upon removal.

Not sure how he wired the heater elements in, but again, I know it can be done as I did it with a Mk2 Astra using LHD foglight switches on the dash next to the clocks.

After that, you should be all clear!

If anybody wants a mint N reg Calibra Turbo with ~40k on the engine then let me know.

Its a galv body so rust free. Just needs the front diff changing and she'll be good to go again.

Its been sat since Jan 07 so needs a wash but is 1 prev owner and I've done loads to it.

Edit: just found the ebay html and pictures. Available here

As a ford sierra owner running one as a daily driver for the last 18 years how do you think I feel coming to this site everyday?






Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.
