^^ What a fantastic mish-mash of bits. From the side in that pic it looks like someone's built on an extension.

 

From the other side it looks more disappointingly normal but still very odd.

I'd like to go on holiday in one.

Oh wow, I had an SX5 20-odd years ago.  Bought from a flea market for about 30 quid.  Never did manage to get it running, and eventually the bloke who looked after the communal bike shed where I'd parked it got pissed off and demanded that it disappear.  It wasn't anywhere near as nice as that one, but I do remember the odd angular crank case covers.

Very nice but very expensive 4x4 Cavalier

He says it's the 130, I always thought these were the C20NE so 115/118 horses.

 

It's a 1989 model so 130 BHP is correct.  The one's with the grey bumpers had an SEH.  A mate of mine had one for 15 years. Totally reliable and very surefooted and fairly quick. Never had a problem with the transfer box.

^^^^ I dont believe that..... no-one could possibly own one of those for more than about 6 months and not need to replace the transfer box. i think he was bullshitting you!!!

 

I reckon those are the most chocolatey bit of car hardware ever to reach the general public

The 'standard' 4x4 ones were fine, it was the GSi versions that used to shit their boxes out and had to have matching tread depth tyres all round.

You say that, but maybe it makes more sense that way round - "scooping" fresh air and flies into the cabin

 

Meanwhile in Preston

^Yes, that's the one I spotted a couple of pages ago.  I think it looks delightful.
