Just Yesterday i bought my Series 1 Calais and drove it home today. It is in very good condition with only a few tiny spots of surface rust visible, everything is original minus the pioneer speakers on the parcel shelf, some speakers mounted on the transmission tunnel/gearbox and the main rear venetian being removed (the venetians are still in the rear quater windows just not the main rear one). Original red interior with head rests, Factory four speed (1,2,3 Overdrive i think), Calais rims (soon to be polished), pop up eyelid headlights and so on. I plan to get a new head unit, some splits, amp, subs, put the rear venetian back in and keep it stockish due to its orginality. Possibly a turbo after my P's but depends on money! here are some pics, enjoy: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looks great man! Love white Calais with red interiors! That engine bay is clean as! Although you definately need to replace the coolant overflow/wiper jet reservoir bottles. Also, maybe find yourself a series 2 red interior? They're just so much sweeter. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looks good mate. you can re-dye your interior and it'll come up brand new. also noticed you have a s1 turbo/s2 dash cluster.
