	along with my datsuns i have recently purchased another car my dad had drove me in this from high school through to university (in fact the first car i ever drove!) we had an early b reg mk2 cavalier estate in green! anyways along with the datsun 120y estate (which he had before this cavalier!) - i parked both cars that my dad had from 1979 through till 1998! - my age 6 till 24 ish and my dads age 28 till 48 so these two cars meant alot to both od us! anways i parked them both outside his front door at midnight early this week and i got a very excited and shocked phone call from him the following morning! shock and awe! anyways i have added the cavalier to the daily rota and i now drive this to work on thursdays! it drives superb (although i am not keen on autos myself - but cant compalin considering condition) only 55k ish from new no welding and it looks beautiful may stick a v6 transplant from a mk3 cav or omega/calibra! or may keep it standard (havent decided yet) anyways heres a few pics! hope u enjoy! not bad eh? ;D

	Can't actually remember the last time I saw one of these! My best mate's mum used to have one when we were kids,I remember she sold it and bought a BX estate (new!) and we thought it was rubbish compared to the Cav! Very nice

	Cool , never seen anything like that, the equivalent Opel Ascona was never sold as an estate over here. (Norway) My brother had quite a few Ascona C's , including a sedan with the same style of grille and bumpers as yours.

They imported the body panels for the Vauxhall estate from Australia, IIRC, where they were used on the Holden Camira. ;D

Vauxhall imported the whole body shells from Australia, Holden Camira you are right. Thats why you wont see any on the continent, it was Vauxhall who imported them as shells and built them into Cavaliers for the UK market. Opel didnt bother to develop one for the European market so thats why you don't find them on the continent.
