allblue Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Hi and welcome, Looks very tidy. Back in the 90's I always wanted one of those yellow ones. Have you owned it for long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spilleddwarf Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Hi Allblue we picked this up about a year ago, needing a bit of work, new bottom arm, new clutch, and a darn good service. Got told when we brought it the roof didn't work, but after a bit of playing around soon got that sorted. Looking around these Yellow one's are getting a little rare, so planning on keeping hold of her for a whole, still turns heads....lol Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brigham Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 i notice you have the spot lights in the front - has the bumper been changed? I'm new on here and a recent owner (via my son) of a '98 Calypso, but we've noticed it's a KARMANN mod and has the Ghia front and back ends and also a strut under the bonnet. Not sure if any engine mods been done, the guy who sold it knew very little about it. I'll post some pics on a new thread soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian71 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Am guessing its an si model with the lights built in as standard,i have a few bits left on a yellow si i am breaking,if intersted will see if i still have the front spoiler with lights in.

allblue Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 All cabrios were built by Karmann. Ford eventually allowed Karmann to attach their badge to be fitted to later cabrios. Calypso cabs would not have front fogged bumpers as standard, but they were an optional extra. Strut brace in engine bay were standard on all cabs built from early1997. Very unlikely there would bemany if any engine mods, as this 1.6 engine does not repsond easily to tuning for more power. Most people drop in something like a 2.0 zetec instead.
