P-reg...

Post by Cavalier342 »

Hey all :wave I know that the Cavalier production was halted in 1995 sometime, but i heard somewhere that apparently after the veccy was launched, there were a few Cavaliers still put out, under a p-reg. Driving about today, on the way home i spotted a Kings Blue saloon, which i normally see, except this time i saw the license plate, and :shock: :scratch P*** *** :o
Lol i was like proper staring several times, and it was definitely a P. lol. Wooo i've seen one of the latest off the production line :D except the state of it looked as if it was twice its age :( :cry
Still.. never thought i'd see a P-reg Cav :D

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

be strange to see a P reg one.i remember seeing a new plated transit van,saw the front expectin it to be the new shape and it wasnt,it was the old shape tranny.i was told that they still put the old shape out with a new plate(must be either you can choose to have the old shape-or they are trying to get rid of surplus old shape trannys)shame you couldnt do that with cavs.maybe somewhere there is a lock up full of immaculate cavs that evryone has forgot about,and one day there will be 09 cavs on the road.haha.a lovely thought :wave :wave

Wow :o
I think the S-reg definitely suits the Cavalier, as the car doesnt look like an old design. Such a shame they stopped production :cry

i wonder if they get pulled over a lot by some keen eyed cav-aware traffic cops...?!

ah no, of course not, silly me, we don't have traffic cops anymore, we have speed/safety cameras. hmmmn...

P reg blue hatch near me in Totton, Hampshire i see occasionally. think its a TD gls or cdx, beautiful condition too.

read somwhere the mini cab boys lapped up the last TD ones as they preferred them to the new fangled vectras (as we do of course)
