Bought in Feb 2006 with 100,000 miles on clock for £570
Ran it as a daily driver for a year, clocking up 11,000 miles until Jan 07. It was too thirsty for daily use though and the arches were hanging out the back.
It's been off the road for the last year. I was MoT'd in March and I fitted V6 brakes but it was just too slow. So I bought a Nova to put the engine in that, and got a 3.0 V6 Omega engine for the Cavalier. It's been up at Specky's since October being worked on. It's nearly finished. Its going for its MoT tomorrow. It should be on the road for spring.
