Eh up Mr. Caza, and welcome to TC!  Monza - good choice, as one or two on here have one (possibly more!), and they're a crackin' car, apparently. Never driven one myself, but one day, Mr. Matt will take me out in his....................or so he said! |

Welcome Steve!
I don't live too far from you (Lincoln) and i own a few Monza's and a shed-u-like Carlton GSi. Not many of either in Lincolnshire that i've seen. A few Senator 24v's still about though, can often be had for less money than Carlton GSi's too.

Welcome,
Hows the Cav performing? Will it outgun one of the Carlton GSI beasts?
Last time i drove a cav Turbo was in 1993 a K plate with 4000 miles on the clock. Was very quick and smooth.

Royales are nice, but remember that all but the last of them had the 2.8 carb-fed engine & the carbs on them were troublesome when new so god knows what they'd be like after 25+ years of being on the car! Far better to go for a fuel-injected Monza! |
