Highlights
- Just 2 former keepers
- Incredibly low mileage
- Fantastic condition
- Desirable, and increasingly rare SRi specification
The Appeal
Produced between 1981 and 1988, the Mk2 Cavalier is without a doubt one of the most memorable retro vehicles, highly regarded by critics of the time, and held dear by enthusiasts even to this day.
This is of course the highly sought-after SRi model, which stood near the very top of its class, competing with the likes of the Ford Sierra. This Cavalier SRi boasts a fuel-injected 1.8L, 5-speed manual gearbox, desirable Recaro Highland Check interior, and of course, a superbly retro two-tone paint job, unique to the model.
Whilst finding any Cavalier SRi on the road these days is seemingly an impressive feat, this particular example stands head and shoulders above the vast majority. One of the key factors leading to this is, of course, the incredibly low mileage covered, and the remarkably low number of former keepers. As a result, this Cavalier presents itself in excellent, mostly original condition throughout, with only a few minor signs of its age.
With the excellent condition and mileage in mind, this would make a superb addition to any collection, and will only increase in scarcity as time continues to pass.

The History and Paperwork

- Recommissioned in 2009, after being stored and seldom driven since 1997
- A few invoices for various repairs/ parts are included
- The V5C document is present and ready to sign over
- 2 keys are included with the vehicle

The Interior
- Original Highland Check interior, wonderfully preserved and presented in fantastic condition
- Matching Highland Check Recaro front seats, with only slight bolster wear to the driver’s side, and a slight mark just below the passenger’s headrest
- Much like the rest of the interior, the rear seats also reflect minimal use, and would very easily fool you of their age
- Contact points such as the steering wheel, gearknob, and controls show minimal wear, further supporting the displayed mileage
- The beige carpeting throughout the cabin is presented in stunning condition, having been protected over the years by a set of tailored rubber Vauxhall floor mats
- Headlining, the dashboard, parcel shelf, and door cards also appear to have been frozen in time and are free from the signs of age typically found with other examples
- All instruments and controls throughout the interior are believed to be in full working order, including the Phillips radio & cassette player
- The interior of this Mk2 Cavalier is truly remarkable, reflecting minimal use, and plenty of care over the years
The Exterior
- Stunning two-tone White Gold & Anthracite paintwork
- Believed to be mostly original, the paintwork is in excellent condition for its age, with only a few instances of previous repairs, and slight signs of age as pictured
- The bodywork also presents itself rather impressively, with seemingly only the one noticeable dent, to the O/S/R door, and slight corrosion in the boot as pictured
- Lights, glass, trim pieces, and badging are in excellent condition for their age, and as an added bonus, the vehicle still sports its original dealer plates and rear windscreen sticker
- Each 14” wheel also shows off an excellent finish, with only minor blemishes and easily rectifiable marks to note. The wheels come wrapped in a set of Genesys XP1 tyres, with plenty of tread left to enjoy
- Overall, the finish of this retro icon has been rather well preserved over the years, and now shows only a few signs of its age. It’s a vehicle that never fails to attract admiration wherever it is parked, and will no doubt continue to shine for years to come
The Mechanics
- Powered by a 1.8L 4-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox
- The vehicle starts and performs exactly as intended, with reportedly no known faults
- Recommissioned in 2009
- Fitted with a new cambelt in 2009, at 36,448 miles
- Fitted with a new fuel filler neck overflow pipe and fuel pump relay in 2016
- Prior to putting the car through the MOT in June 2022 the car had the following work: A new fuel tank, new plugs and leads, new fuel pipes and a new battery
Summary
As retro enthusiasts will fondly recall, the Cavalier was one of Britain’s top-selling vehicles, with the rare SRi model proudly rivaling the nation’s performance cars. Unsurprisingly given their age, a great deal of these iconic cars have fallen over the years, making this a very rare opportunity to secure not just a Cavalier SRi, but perhaps one of the finest available at the moment.
This mighty Vauxhall boasts an incredibly low mileage figure and reflects both minimal use and decades of care. It’s a vehicle that will enhance any collection, and never fails to turn heads wherever it ventures.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
