On another note I went to a scrappy called G R Harris in Nutbourne, West Sussex and they had a Cav in there and they had a set of 15 inch expression/diplomat alloys, the cross spoke wheels. Really?! Normally they take the wheels off before adding them to the general layout - so was it waiting to be...

Look at what I come across

Someone i know has got a cav gsi 2000 that they are breaking here are some pics if there is anyone interested in getting parts of it. But the seats are mine and he wants to sell the engine and gearbox as one. The engine is a redtop with a f18 gearbox i think. http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u432...
