Welcome to cavmk3oc.com! :wave Congratulations on your purchase, £100 is amazing. The tax is probably worth most of that alone hehe! Good luck sourcing the new wheels, look forward to progress reports :)

Welcome to the club mate, that Cav really does look a bargain!!

The interior all though I do not know the name is easy to find, breakers or for sale sections are littered with Cav bits and occasionally a nice leather interior appears too!
Free Parking is a bonus, leaving my Cav in a carbon dust filled carpark is not.....
