Vauxhall Cavalier Convertible 1.8
1986 Vauxhall Cavalier convertible a rare car indeed. Requiring major work
the Cavalier has not been used for many years. Currently not running although
we have had the engine firing using brake cleaner and it appears fuel pump is not working. It should be a straight forward job to replace being under the car rather than inside
the fuel tank. I see no reason why the engine shouldn’t run once sorted.
The Cavalier benefits from a good interior with Recaro seats finished
in grey in fact the interior is generally very good which is helped by the roof
being also in good order and not appearing to leak just needing a good scrub. The roof also has a good
headlining which is like a grey tweed and like the rest of the interior it would benefit from a clean
where dust and dirt has settled over the years.
The car would require major work before returning to the road which
will be a brave restoration. The passenger side sill and rear wheel arch on
both sides are poor with the drivers side door shut also in very poor (see photo's) The drivers door solid with the bottom good with the passenger door bottom slightly rusted but could be sorted and boot lid edge also good. The new owner may use the car for spares which would be a shame for a rare car but this is for the winning bidder decide.
The
Cavalier comes with the V5, lots of old invoices, stamped
Vauxhall
service history book and old Mot's. The car moves freely on a good set of period alloys
that all hold air well. Please study photos carefully. As mentioned It will be a good source
of parts with the interior alone being of great use for someone. As usual
viewing is recommended.
