research
Hello everyone,
I’m trying to find my father’s old 1994 Opel Calibra 2.0 16V (C20XE). It may be a long shot, but I hope someone might recognize it or know where it ended up.
The car was originally registered in Turin, Italy, and later re-registered in Treviso, Italy. Around 2008/2009, it was sold to a dealer for export, so it most likely left Italy and received a new registration in another country.
This car means a lot to my family. I was only 5 or 6 years old when it was sold, and one of my dreams is to either find the original car or, if that’s impossible, build an exact replica as a surprise for my father.
Here are the details I remember:
1994 Opel Calibra
2.0 16V (C20XE)
Manual transmission
Air conditioning
No sunroof
Originally dark green, later repainted Subaru Blue
Beige leather interior
front bumper and side skirts from platinum mod body kit
Renault 19 rear spoiler
BMW E36 M3-style mirrors
Toyota Celica Carlos Sainz hood scoop
Chrome/Lexus-style rear lights
Original Opel wheels with the inside of the spokes painted blue
Reinforced rear suspension with rear spacers
I still have several old photos of the car (attached).
If anyone remembers seeing this Calibra at a meeting, in a magazine, on an old forum, or if you think you’ve seen it in your country, I would be incredibly grateful for any information.
Even the smallest clue could help.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this.
PS: If you know any old Opel Calibra owners or clubs, please feel free to share this post. I’d really appreciate it.
