Saw this today outside Gregs, was trying to take a clear pic but just as I did the traffic appeared and then the guy who owned it who didn't look too happy about it being photographed......Miserable tnuc...Lol

Looks proper clean...Seen it a couple of times around Parkstone in Poole..

Shouldnt be driving it around if he doesnt want it photo'd, simples.
That annoys me. Buy distinctive car, moan when people take interest. Mini-hitlers

Might have thought,

A) you were going to stick on BarryBoys.

B) You were surveylance wanting to steal it.

C) Justs an old Cnut

I still miss my Mk1 Cav Coupe in Jade green. Not many of this Mk left now. Saw one on eBay, barn find, it only went for £180...reckon that will end up on a banger track.

The Mark 1 GLS coupe is a classic car I want to own. (Ever since I realised they where opel mantas with chrome bumpers!

And I've always wanted a manta.

It was a lovely car, and tough as old boots. They do come up on the rare occasion on eBay. Last one was about 2 grand. I would love another, but I haven't anywhere indoors to keep one, and it would be criminal to let it live outside.

Here we go, Hairibo....it's not a Cav coupe, but a very nice early Manta B. With chrome bumpers!

Remove window and lower wall, replace with garage door and hey presto, cavalier comfort while watching coronation street, also aids as a wall paper pasting table and emergency seating when relatives visit at christmas.

All round win.

It looks more like a Vauxhall Chevette to me, rather than a Cavalier.

Edit: No I'm wrong I think it is a cavalier, it has the chrome strip around the front wheel arches.
