1979 Cavalier, I was driving when this was new, frightening!

When @eddyramrodbuys a CF will it be the end of Autoshite as there will be no more reasons to post ?

Not at all!  There's still the Vauxhall PA, not to mention all sorts of random Americana!  Also, I know I've said I can't take on a project, but realistically, that will be what happens.  I just have to weigh up what work I can tackle/farm out.  I think there's too much work in today's example; also, it's at the wrong end of the country.  If it was in, say, Preston, I could at least go and look at it.

All that said, though... I may never buy one.  Why rob you lot of the fun you clearly have, finding me this vast array of unsuitable shitheaps?  The Shiter who finds me one that actually does suit will probably have to go into hiding!

You and me both!  At this time in 1979 it would be my 1967 Anglia.  I could only dream of a Cavalier!

[stendec]

I had a 1967 Riley Elf and likewise could only dream of a Cavalier.

Would still rather drive a 105E! my late father had a brand new Cavalier back in 1979 and it was quite an impressive car at the time.

I think you will have, but maybe not noticed. They were pretty popular cars when new.

Also a shame that it's a 2000 model so tax will be £295, rather than the £30 it would be if post March 2001!

I love these little things. Particularly how to modern eyes it looks like it should be a hatchback, but isn't.

Putting a cooking B-series in a scabby one of these is probably my most often had car fantasy.

They are though, well some of them.  The Countryman model looked exactly the same as the saloon until you opened the back, at which point a two-piece tailgate revealed itself.  Confusingly the Innocenti version (Italian and other European markets) had a one-piece lift-up affair.

I'm sure the B-series transplant has been done, but as with the Minor, it's a big chunk of weight to dump over the front wheels.  It's significantly bigger and heavier than the A-series they came with.  I've had mad ideas of using a 2.0 Pinto or 2.3 Volvo 740, but really, a 1.6 or 1.8 MX5 engine and box would be a long way more than adequate, and somewhat lighter.  And we all know how MX5s like to rot!
