Did they do a mk1 SRi? It might be a mk2 you've seen, does it look like this;  If so the link on the photo is a good one |

As said before
No such beastie.
The MK1 equivalent would probably have been the GLS/sports hatch that the Manta B was based on. I think.

so someone likes the look of a cav sri not realizing there was a MK1 and assumes it must be a MK1 so instead of puttin him right u take the p1ss and show pics of ovlovs instead....nice one!...........
mate......I had a Cav SRI like the one pictured and liked it a lot...felt solid to drive, nice drivin position and good load lugger...
was quite quick as well but would not feel quick for me with whats about today.....
the astra GTE MK2 that i got next was quicker and more nimble...
if you like the cav and can afford to run it and insure it do it cos they are nice and gettin rare....there is a resto thread on here somewhere which is a good read..
if its a sporty MK1 you are looking at then deffo get that cos they are gettin rare so therefore more desirable..

Yes, very friendly...
The Mk2 SRi Cav is a decent beastie indeed. People go crazy over the later SRi 130 but they all pull pretty well and cars don't get much more simple to work on.

I just bunged them pics in to spice up the thread as it was dull and had been compiled without any effort whatsoever, no pics, no story, no information, not even the right car name. Carry on!

All Cavs are worthy IMO. With thought you could make a Mk3 look cool and they ride and drive nice. A mate had the fully loaded luxury one and that was a great cruiser.

It was a 2.0 Ecotec in this one, I remember doing the ICV for him on it. it was auto, ac, ew, tints, three way power roof, power seat, heated too I think... I've seen older Vectras too I'm sure... I think its eithe r scrap now or not far off, he's got a newish Avensis and last I heard the cav was with another mate and having some electrical gremlins.

Mk1 coupe was the best looking one, i had a mk2 cav and found it quicker than the equivelent sierra but worse handling, very loose on the back end in high speed corners.

MadMaxx - the Diplomat was a badge stuck on top of the range Vauxhalls in the early 1990s. There was a Cavalier Diplomat and a Carlton Diplomat. Its just a trim package really. Its not the same as the Opel Diplomat sadly. GM were not that nice to us.... |

*This is my kind of area: Firstly the white Cav in the picture is a now very rare SR (1600 carb engine) NOT an SRi which were 1800cc to start with and later (facelifted) Mk2 Cavs had either a two litre 130bhp lump or a (circa) 118bhp motor. The 1.8s had a close ratio box and whilst the 130 is a blinding engine in a wonderful car the 1.8 should not be overlooked as it's fantastic engine and suprisingly quick for what it is.
Secondly (as someone else stated) the Mk1 Cav never came is SRi format and thirdly the Diplomat range was the Mk3 Cavalier, most, not all, of which had leather. The Mk3 Cavalier is another brilliant car with a decent range of engines but as ever the 8V ones and the 16V red top are the best motors. Ecotec not as bad as some would have you believe but still not as good as the 8v.

Always quick to jump on someone with a low post amount.. so he got the name wrong, not everyone is an expert. Not very welcoming for new users is it.. if the thread bores you move on. |

What in the over-reaction? Hard time? Jumping on someone?! Are you smoking crack? It was a light jibe at worst! TBH if the original poster was offended by any of this thread then he should just stay off the internet all together as they wont last long!
