Exclusive Opel Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Spotted in Barnstaple last Friday at around 2.30pm. Came from the direction of Rock Park and then headed for the Square. Copper coloured. I was a couple of cars back so couldn't see the reg but looked in good condition from what I could see. Would have loved to gone and followed it when it turned off but had the girlfriend following me in a hire car and she wouldn't have been best pleased if I had!

That is one model that I have never seen, I wonder how many were made and how many are still around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) That is one model that I have never seen, I wonder how many were made and how many are still around. 118 were built, a mix of Mk1 Cav and some mantas, there are only around 10 left that are road legal at the moment though others survive in various states or repair. When I restored mine I gave it a facelift Edited November 2, 2011 by Robbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I restored mine I gave it a facelift I wish I hadn't posted now, I was really happy with my Cav until I saw those pics That is a very, very nice looking motor, why do people buy porches when there are cars like that around? Thanks for the pics Robbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 One on ebay at the moment needs restored but they are solid cars normally as they were early models with way better metal in them. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-CAVALIER-CENTAUR-SPARES-REPAIR-/220885793927?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item336dd1bc87&ssPageName=RSS:B:SHOP:GB:101#ht_766wt_1185 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
