Good Points

The factory modified MK2 Cavalier Convertible may be 20 years old but it is now turning into a classic. There's plenty of room as it is based on a 2 door MK2 Cavalier with enough room for 4 adults.
The engine has got plenty of poke and the simple mechanical parts are easy to fix.

Bad Points

They are getting old so they rusting at an alarming rate. Check suspension points because if that's gone it's fit for scrap. And check the wheel arches because they are rust traps.
Engine should sound sweet and not tap.

General Comments

The convertible Vauxhall Cavalier MK2 1.8 is a brilliant car of it's time with classic looks that still cut it in the style department.

Because it's a Vauxhall it won't cost loads to repair.

    I was given a MK2 Vauxhall Cavalier. It stunk inside and the heater was disconnected. This was in the middle of winter. When on the motorway it would shake like stink, so speed had to be kept below 60mph. The fan belt came off on one 50 mile trip up the motorway, but it still got there, and a few pounds got a new one which can easily be fitted. I found the brakes to be very noisy, and they were down to the metal. I drove it to the scrap yard after 3 months on advice of my brother in law. Insurance was £400 a year, so very expensive.
