STORY
The Cavalier was Vauxhall's mid-size family and fleet car from 1975, becoming a mainstay of British company car parks for two decades. The original Mk1 was rear-wheel drive, but the 1981 Mk2 switched to front-wheel drive as a rebadged Opel Ascona and sold very well. The Mk3 of 1988 continued that strength, leading to the four-wheel-drive turbo Cavalier before the nameplate was replaced by the Vectra in 1995.
