Right surprisingly ive won this on ebay as the highest bidder never got in contact.


I shouldn't really buy it but its just down the road and always liked them.


Now I know zero on Vauxhalls. Is this the ecotec engine that is pants :/


Wouldn't stop me having it mind just wondering

What it means is its Ł920 for the car but the rust is thrown in for free.
seems a bit steep to me.

not the worst cars, I bought one when I lived in baldock herts for the princely sum of Ł50 years ago, went well enough, was modded with a few things. Drove it from biggleswade to the norfolk coast to pick up my ex after she'd smashed up a mk3 astra sri then drove home and sold it for Ł150

Mk3 cavaliers were shit when they were new and they certainly haven't got better with age.


Having said that, looks like a real minter, no rust on the rear arches yet!

Not many Vauxhall fans on this page then!

Gotta say I do have a soft spot for astra GTEs and novas, think its I come from an are where there is a lot of club rallying and there always used to be a few out. That cavalier looks to be in pretty good nick, remember a time where you could get one for about Ł200 mind
