Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

Shot in the dark this:

Anyone know of / can recommend a lawyer / solicitor who would not be phased by and out of his depth in Cav related matters?

Hope this really helps Iain ;

- clearest information I've ever found !

If you can beg (if necessary ! ) with your experts to commit their opinions to paper you should have a very good case to represent yourself for free. No-one knows it better than you after all.............

Good luck with your quest , keep us posted

That could be very useful indeed tks if, as is possible, I decide to go the Small Claims Court route and have to work out the procedures. The other options are "Trading Standards", and use of a solicitor who knows what a Cavalier is (when properly restored).

I don't see you having much luck finding one unfortunately I doubt any trainee lawyer ever aspired to owning a Vauxhall cavalier even in top-spec. , more like Porsche, bmw or merc.
I think most cav's are appreciated by people who have fond memories of them & can use their hands & brains combined, or at least are willing to try Not the type who want the latest, greatest, most expensive elitist product and they want it now!( Mac over pc etc.),.... the ones that can't check the oil or tell between a washer fluid bottle and a header tank

That's a really good value
How did you manage that -really low mileage, niche insurer ?

Hopefully a "normal" lawyer will be capable of distinguishing between an ethical restoration and a downright con job, when presented with the evidence, regardless of the marque.
