I don't think the 1.3 was available in a mk3 body, not in the UK anyway. Certainly don't recall seeing one in the early days. Although a lot of tight fisted fleets had 1.4s on them

Looks nice and basic and simple. a.k.a. the ideal run-about or classic restoration project.

I've not heard of a 1300 Mk3 Cavalier, maybe European spec, I don't know. The petrols are easy to remember, they go up in 200cc increments up to 2000cc then it's a jump to 2500cc.

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

Nice looking cav, depends what you want from the car & what your plans for it are, at the end of the day it's yours & you have to drive it.

Can't say unless I've owned it but I wouldn't let it go for less than £300 myself.
