Brings back memories.

I had one exactly like that in 1984.
I'd had the misfortune to write off my new company Cavalier and was given a soon to be replaced Crusader as a mild repremand........
Extremely comfortable but Ohhhhh woefully underpowered , especially when attempting to overtake.
Poverty spec as welll in comparison to todays bells and whistles with a single speaker mono radio fitted....!!!
I just couldn't live with that so temporaliy fitted a "Sharp"( :y) stereo cassette player but was forbiden to fit speakers as the cars were leased and had not to be altered.
I got around that by using stereo cabinet speakers placed on the rear seat which gave surprisingly good sound quality but tipped over EVERY time I touched the brake.... ;D
Oh for the simple life again .... ::)

stick a gear badge on it and a 2.3 v6 in and oh yes beautiful

It looks like it's just rolled off the production line! It must take a hell of a lot of work/pampering to keep a car in such wonderful condition :o :y
