astonishing condition, nice buy. what you going to do with it? i seem to remember the spi engines were just a blunt instrument to get emmisions down and the all important catalyst badge on the back, power torque and economy weren't any better than the carb versions  |

That's the cleanest looking Cav I've seen in ages! I can only assume it's spent the vast majority of its life in dry storage. What a find! As for the touring car rep thing, if it were mine, I would be taking the 'less is more approach'  . Whatever you do though, looks like an excellent base. |

It's not often you see one as clean as that! Lovely car CP.
I'm with MK2VR6 on keeping it pretty simple. Sort the niggles, get it mint and fit some OEM goodies, a small drop and a nice set of (preferably period Vauxhall) alloy wheels and it'd be pretty much perfect.
So come on then Count, whats the story behind the purchase and whats the mileage etc?

One owner from when the car was 1 year old, 57,000 miles, service history backs this up.
Owner had to give up driving as he was too old. Car has a few scratches and marks, but nothing I can't handle!

Wow that is awfully clean. I remember seeing those everywhere on my trips to the UK in the 80s and 90s.. can't remember the last time I saw one.
I hate to say it, but I think that should almost be preserved....

Very clean. Would be interesting to buy a rotton gsi and swap the running gear over, you'll still get good mpg too!

Lovely. Personally would keep this standard, maybe wheels and a slight drop at the most. Can't be many left in this nick...

I used to have a 2.0L 4x4 that looked near identical to this in the late 90's. It was immaculate at the time which was a rare thing even back then! Quite a rare survivor you have there |

Looks so clean and tidy! Drop it on some 90's wheels (17" TSW stealths would be my choice) and leave the rest stock.
