A 12,000 mile Cavalier...These cars are a rare sight on today's roads, and more so with this sort of mileage and condition.

So often do we hear of its direct rival, the Sierra but not so of the underdog Cavalier which makes this find even more special.

This particular Mk 3, 1.8 GL has clearly been cosseted all its life as can be seenand has almost certainly never been used as a 'repmobile'as most were in the 80s and 90s.

The vendor comments that this car "is as near to a new Cavalier as you will find" and "when you sit init, you could just as easily be ina Vauxhalldealers showroom in 1990".

Described as "very good to excellent" and supplied with a long MoT and a comprehensive history file, this immaculate Cavalier must represent a sensible buy compared to the ever increasing tariff attached to performance Fords.
