2 flyered in 1 car park
I spotted these two yesterday in Kingstanding Business Park in Tonbridge wells as I was picking up a new car battery for my Cavalier. Luckily I had a bunch of flyers with me!
Nice to see some Cavaliers are still around the Tonbridge Wells area.
First of all a tatty LS;
Tatty, but appeared to be in good nick, hardly any rust other than what you can see on the bonnet.
The second was a slightly modified SRi;
It was in good condition apart from those garish silver windscreen wipers.

That's a very tidy SRi there
Previous:
China Blue 1989 Vauxhall Cavalier L 18SV
Kings Blue 1992 Vauxhall Cavalier LSi Auto C18NZ
Smoke Grey 1994 Vauxhall Cavalier V6 C25XE
Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Re: 2 flyered in 1 car park
not a massive fan of the wheels on the SRi. I've suddenly started seeing Cavaliers a lot more. I'll print some flyers at the weekend

Re: 2 flyered in 1 car park
I've seen worse alloy wheels.
I know what you mean though, I think the original SRi alloys look fantastic and why anyone would want to replace them is beyond me.
But really it's the side indicators and the silver windscreen wipers I don't like.

Re: 2 flyered in 1 car park
Finally managed to flyer this lovely SRi on Thursday.
It can normally be found in the Aviamax car park in Robertsbridge, it obviously belongs to one of the staff.

Re: 2 flyered in 1 car park
Managed to flyer a couple of the regulars I see most days when I’m up in Canterbury. Both of which are L reg funnily enough.
First of all an LS that's in bad need of a good clean and polish but otherwise virtually rust free.
The second is what I first thought was a pre-facelift CD (don't ask why) from the back but actually quite a nice GLS

Re: 2 flyered in 1 car park
Ouch, that looks nasty. I wouldn’t be surprised if that is a write off.
Is it true that hatchback cavaliers were vulnerable to chassis damage if they were rear-ended like that?

Re: 2 flyered in 1 car park
Always nice to see a pre-facelift.
It's even nicer when you get to see two.
I saw these two last Friday when I was getting my clutch cable fixed.
This lovely GL was in Sainsbury’s car park in Hastings
This L is a regular of mine I used to go past it every day on the bus on the way to College. It can usually by found parked along battle road in St Leonard’s.

Strange you should say that because normally the white one is filthy. in fact this is the only time I've ever seen it clean.
But both of them looked in pretty good condition. Less rust on them than my cavalier that’s for sure.
Re: 2 flyered in 1 car park
fair play to you james, you see alot more cavaliers than i do.. there is one i see which is a "pink" diesel but doesn't seem to have any rust.. at last i have printed off some flyers...!!

Re: 2 flyered in 1 car park
Spotted this one today and left a flyer on it...
Was parked just round the corner from my house in Branksome, Dorset.
Its a Cavalier L with a lil bit of the dreaded rust worm round the rear arches but dont look to bad for its age!

Free Parking is a bonus, leaving my Cav in a carbon dust filled carpark is not.....

Re: 2 flyered in 1 car park
Last two digits, of a three digit plate, locate where the car was registered.iangsi wrote:That weird my GSI has the same last 3 letters, must of been registered @ the same place.
'G' was for 'Garden of England' (Kent and Sussex) and the following letters indicate they were registered at Maidstone: A B C D E F G H J K L M N O
The following letters indicate they were registered at Brighton: P R S T U V W X Y.
So with 'J817 DGH' this means it was registered in Kent and at the Maidstone DVLA office.
HTH
Dave
ps. Mike that white one was reg in Reading!
