Vectra gt 20seh from north of spain

Post by BasqueMK3SRI »

Hello guys, before i present myself,now is the turn of my baby,my intention is to have a clelands 1995 cavalier replica,but the proyect goes slow because i made it in my freetime after the work
The car is a 1992 opel vectra gt, in u.k. cavalier sri, with 20seh engine with 300.000 kilometres. I bought to a friend road to destroy it,but i pick it to my home for 100 euros with angel eyes, gsi complete kit,and facelift complete interior
i sold gsi kit and angel eyes, and now i have original facelift sri kit
here some pics of the car

thanks mate!!!
I try to have in optimal conditions, because i use it to go to classics meetings here, and many people stop at street to look when is parked, and ask me for the car
So i will make it survive all the time i can, because i like to drive my vectra,i think it is a very nice car

They are good cars, there is just something about them that makes us appreciate them. I'm wondering about your radio aerial, it's on the roof, is that normal for Europe spec Vectra A, I've not seen an aerial on the roof before, they are usually in the rear wing.

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

Yes a very nice car.

I have people stopping to talk to me about the car all the time.

It appears that almost everyone in the UK had a dad, uncle or a friend who had a Cavalier / Vectra-A in the 90s.
They have happy / good memories of the cars from when they were young.

The radio aerial originally was in the lateral, but y dont like it there, so when i painted de car, y move to the roof because i liked more at the top of the car, but is not functional, i dont use radio only usb in my car, so i decide to anulate it an change the place

Very nice from the pics - Regarding the aerial; back in the day, a lot of people I knew repositioned it to the roof. They used the golf gti bee sting style aerials to improve reception and general look of the car.

Additionally helped with phones of the era.

I also see that the side wing indicators are also removed.

Indicator 'repeaters' are a UK only specification.
Opel cars did not have them.
