165 R13-82T is listed as an option for the Mk3 in the Haynes manual...
But I presume that would be for a late 80s base model with a small block engine. Such as the little heard of 1.4NV or 1.6SV

Quite right, I've deleted my post. As you were!

Yep, 165r13 will fit the early 1.4 and 1.6 pre-facelift MK3 Cavaliers.
I also see that you now sell 195/60r14, a bit on the expensive side for me but defiantly good to see!

Quite expensive for what they are, but I presume that is because these retro sizes are becoming more niche rather than mass produced.

Economies of scale and all that.

Yes - we should advise that Dougal does work for the tyre supplier, and therefore has a vested interest to "advertise for free" on a car forum.
(I need to brush up on the forum rules regarding traders self-promoting).

Now then, if they were to offer a decent club discount for our members, then that would be worth considering.
