Description
Calibra 2. 0/ 16v Auto: 2 Owners/ 39, 000mls/ Stunning
The Vauxhall Calibra was very much the descendent of the Manta, both were the work of stylist Erhard Schnell. The car was an exercise in restraint, with unadorned coachwork, a long nose, elegant frameless side windows and swooping roofline that would later be echoed by the Audi TT.
A happy side-effect of this was an exceptionally low drag coefficient and the 16v option was no slouch with 145bhp/ 144lb. ft of torque the car was capable of 139mph and 0-62mph in around 8. 5 seconds. Today Calibra’s are a rare sight and good examples are highly prized. Like most 1980/ 90’s classics values are increasing quickly as a new generation of buyers are entering the classic car market.
