Time warp mk3 cavalier l!
Posted: Fri Jan 13, 2017 5:32 pm
Good evening all
My first post thanku for having me!
After 5 years of BMW ownership I decided I missed my old cavalier gsi /calibra redtop and set about looking for an affordable project after my trusty 2001 5 series died.
On Sunday I spotted a remarkably tidy j reg 1.8 l on eBay with 74000 miles on clock .just up the road from me in Cambridge.
Picked it up yesterday.im astonished by how clean the old girl is and how well maintained its been.i have got 10 receipts for oil changes and every MOST dating back to 1994.it even has the original working grindig stereo and original wheel trims.the blue velour interior is also immaculate.the only marks I can see are a small scab on rear driver's arch,a tiny one on fuel filler and a all hole in headlining .
It's been owned by a lovely old chap who is something of a retro Vauxhall enthusiast and he has maintained it mechanically with an almost OCD level of care.
I'll upload some pics tomorrow.
It's not really the cav I was after.i wanted a saloon preferably an Sri but this was too good to say no!
