	why i did it i don't know why,bloke i bought it off wanted to much i beat him right down,he needed the space on plus side stops and starts is rock solid underneath and innerwings boot ect,but were it was for 15 years window was broke,so damp air got into wings front panel,and intriour is really nice and car original,its had 90s repair on sills,but panels are very reasonable cheap,keep me busy lol,used to over priced ford panels,safely in my lock up.ready for me to make a start lol

	I remember my Dad hiring an estate version in this very colour. Cavaliers were everywhere in the 80s. They've almost all gone. Nice find!

So did mine, used it a a taxi for years before I learnt to drive in it. 1.6l must have racked up nearly 500,000 miles by the time I was let loose in it. Great cars.
