Sadly not a high spec but not many like this now. Still pretty & the 2.0's a are punchy enough.
I know i'm an old nostalgic but it's nice to see old motors in fine fettle 21/22 years on. Never a Veccy fan but i like the Cavs! 8)

Nice find Guy. 8 valve too, quite rare now.
-
Cavalier's in my opinion were probably the best car Vauxhall have done..... To try and replace it with the Vectra was criminal.
The SRi 130 we had was the best car we have had.
-
I had three of those all 2.0's ,brand new in '89 ,'90 and '92 .
Covered typically 40 to 50 k miles a year and they never gave any problems were also the most comfortable cars too for my 6' 4 " frame.
That ,although a lower spec , looks a very tidy car for a not unreasonable sum.
Ah , the memories ..........
-
Arr the days when you could change almost any mechanicals with ease , nice car that ...i had an SRI :y
-
Still looks quite modern from the inside :)
-
Had a 2.0 GLS on a K as a company car, 50K per annum for three years. never broke down once.
Good grief it was nearly 20 Years ago!

Yep! Thanks for that Lee!!! ;D

1984 'B' had my new estate 1.6L loved it, the sales managers had the SRI. I earned more money than them which caused the difficulties and the re thinking resulting in a total change of career, never looked back as life is not all about money...... :)
-
My dad had a fetish about Mk1 Cavaliers. Bought one new when they first appeared and traded it in after 18 months for another one and then another.........
Was never much taken with the later wwd versions myself.
-
Just sorned my Ascona C (MK2 Cav) today after 5 years of being driven daily (alongside the Omega) it needs a bit of work, but this thread is making me doubt my decision.. on the cav site I run a couple timewarp standard low-trim level cars have appeared and I'm already tempted. ;D ;D

I said the exact same thing today Andy...... Someone was talking about 2.8 Capri's and I said "I had my first one in 1991, good god that is 20 years ago!"
How time is flying by....
-
The interior is like a timewarp. Like new!
-
brings back memorys of mine i had a 1991 2.0 8v gli quick as you like great in the wet on roundabouts(just wanted to go straight) a great car :y :y god i miss it :'( :'( :'(
-
a credit to its former owner that car, very nice, especially the interior. drove the diesels as taxis on g and h plates and loved them. never a problem and handled really well. cant believe it was that long ago!
not sure i'd part with 1500 sovs for it though. :o

I wonder how many vehicles produced today will look that good in 20 years time? Or are they now a throwaway every five years product now?
-
Nice motor but I never took to the Mk3 as much as the earlier shapes..... had a 2.0GLS MK1 & an SRi MK2 both of which I loved. Ony seems a few years ago Iwas enjoying them but was over 20yrs ago! :'(
-
in 2007 i bought a cavalier 1.8 colorado for £50 as a part ex all because it had a crack in the windscreen. Was almost mint with 52000 miles. Kept it for a few months and sold it for £285 with 4 months tax and 8 months MOT. Its alot for what it is but im sure someone will pay close to the money they want for it.
-
I'd buy & run it quite happily but as you say not for that money The price on cars like these is a tough call. Not in Glasses guides but not classic enough to establish a value in that market...yet!
That said like Mk1 Golfs, Sierras, early Astras etc. they are old school/retro up & coming classics that are loved by thier owners so for these cars in the middle ground the value is what someone is prepared to pay.
Still nice to see them like that though! 8)
