One of the 4 mk2 cavaliers I owned was an auto.  But that was a 115 bhp 1.8 CDi 

The problem with it was that the ratio gap between 65 mph in 2nd and 66 mph in top was (it seemed) 5500 rpm to 2000 rpm.  

This meant that if you wanted to blast past something on an A road it would change up mid overtake, and put you somewhere in the rev range that had no power at all.

Worse. You'd be doing 75 mph on a motorway, and the traffic would slow a little, and then as it started to accelerate back to normal, you'd put your foot hard on the accelerator and then it would kick down, engine would scream.its head off for a second or 2 and then it would change up. You passengers would be going "What the fuck, do you know how to drive?" 

I still miss it. 

That sounds like it had the 18e engine like in my first GLi, but mine was manual so I didn't have to worry about not being below 4k rpm to get acceleration.

It's the absolutely God awful ,4 pot piece of shit. Quite possibly the only animal carrier that will have more horses in the back than in the fucking engine bay.

With a bit of Semtex it'd make an even better one.

It is really nice that and you don’t see them in that condition anymore, but it’s still only 2k max even as a collectors item. 5k 😂😂😂

Agreed.

 

I think people are second guessing the market and assuming that if Fizzies and AP50s etc are worth £7,000, then modern, restricted 50s are the next big thing.

I’d agree about the second guessing, only problem is they haven’t taken into account the lads that rode late model ts50 etc didn’t all en mass move onto big bikes like the old days of fizzies, ap50s, ss50 etc like their forebears did. 
therefore the rose tinted specs of being a formative years biker won’t be there. The idea of getting back on a bike to most of those folks who went onto a corsa or fiesta as soon as they were 17 instead of a bigger bike will be seen as a stupid idea, not fondly remembered nostalgia.

or that’s what I think anyway, who knows

£2,800.  It's mis-described.  Looks like a 1985-ish Nissan 1400:

Says it needs welding and I know they can't half rust, but must be worth a bash for someone at a G no reserve and submit offer?

Looks like the pickup version of a Toyota Publica (1000 to us). Only photo I have to hand:

1978 Toyota 1000 XGV 962S (1997/98)
