I see you have a Sera... I nearly bought one of them many years ago :y :y Quite a fun little car from what I remember as I had it on loan for a week while I made up my mind ;D Trouble was, I was commuting 120+ miles a day and couldn't face having to visit the petrol station every 5 minutes with the 40L tank :o ;D

the Classic was one of the many special edition models that they did, its pretty much Envoy spec with a sunroof and passenger airbag.

The Sera is fun, it belonged to Phill's older daughter originally, and when she bought an Audi TT to replace it, Phill took it on.  The fuel range is a joke tho, but this is another car we're going to convert to LPG eventually.  Its currently being overhauled ready to go back on the road next year.

I was working for a Vauxhall dealer down south when the Vectra came out, and many people traded in their trusty Cavaliers for the new model...... when Vectra's started coming back in their droves on recovery trucks, we had no end of people either asking for their Cavaliers back (often too late) or trading their Vectra's in for Cavaliers.

Anyway, they guy I'm getting my Omega off has sent me some piccies of it now its been valeted, its scrubbed up quite well :)   (it needs new floor mats tho)













cheers,

Hi Claire,

What LPG system is in it?

I'm up your way soon, If you want I'll gladly pop in, look it over and hook the diags up to it and make sure all is as it should be :y

I'm very impressed - I was sure that they would keep the last one for themselves in a museum.

I can't spot the mistake though - what is it?

I also had many many Cavaliers - all via Vauxhall Fleet cars due to my assocuiation with Vx. Used to keep them for a few months and hand them back before they reached 8,000 miles & would then see them at a dealers as Network Q cars. All the later ones I had were Euro builds - GSi, GSi 4x4, Turbo, Diplomat V6  :y

Hi James, no idea what system, but I'm assuming its whatever system Vauxhall fitted as standard to the 'Dual fuel' badged cars if that helps.  And if you are free to pop by some time and give it the once over, that would be very kind of you!  I'm about 5 mins from J27 of the M1, let me know when you're passing by and I'll give you destructions to my house  :)

Robert, the one they've kept in the Heritage Centre is an M plate 2.5CDX, apparantly they weren't that bothered about the last Cav, it didnt mean much to them as they were more interested in getting the Vectra ready for launch and promoting that.

The mistake is on the chassis number - its got 895 instead of 89S - ok, so I'm a geek.........    ;)

I'll be after a new set of rubber mats for it and also a tow bar if anyone can help btw - I'd like an Irmy grille for it, but the prices are pretty scary.....

Cheers,

Claire

A set of Elite or late MV6 alloys would set that car off, Claire :y
