Mega salty but wonderful Mk3 SRi

Vauxhall Cavalier Sri - Picture 2 of 14

Not sure what the extra stripe is about, nor what the sticker says on the wing, but what a bloody wonderful car.

I know they had their problems, but i always liked the look of Viva's over the common or garden escort they were up against. And how relatively cheap is that compared to any escort now

They were definitely better looking, especially compared with the MK2 Escort and tended to have better engines and build quality. They were one of my favourite cars when I was a kid, partly because my Grandad & my Uncle both owned them. My Grandad's had done over 170000 miles when it went for scrap!

They didn't rust as much as Escorts, either.

Anyhow, in case the photos don't endear you to this car, perhaps the vendor's winning* attitude will do...

Seller appears to be a) on pills, and b) a massive cunt.

"Injection"

Certainly not a factory stripe, probably a period accessory.

Highly recommend these. That 3.7 engine (vendor says 3.5, but it's not) are a peach and I think much better than the 3.2 petrol. They'll tow anything, too, and are actually a nice old thing to whang round in.

Not recommended if you live in a dinosaur infested area...

Surely there must be a few other Mk V Ghias still about?

Wasn't this from that era where if Ford changed the number plate bulbs a Mk6 became a Mk7.2? It's like all Transits from 1986 until 2000 were a Mk3, afaic.

Oh dear, I thought all of Britain's dinosaurs were safely contained within Crystal Palace Park?
