We've not had a Kadett thread for a while:

If Danny Allen built a Kadett:

Kadettes are cool, I saw a 2.0 16v one a couple of years back, very cool.
The aussies have a habit of shoving V8's under the bonnets.
Small car, big power, sounds good to me ;D

Ooh I do like Kadets/Chevettes (though Kadets seem somehow cooler?) They were one of the cars on my 'want' list before I brought the VW Derby, there's something about late 70s early 80s small saloons/hatch & coupes. I thinks its because they are nicely proportioned, with waisted profiles and crisp lines.

Every morning on my way to work I pass a really nice turquoise LHD Kadet coupe, sporting BBS style wheels and a healthy lowering job Does anyone know if the UK got the coupe version - if so what versions were there?

I'm also in the dark about Opel's involvement in the UK car market? It seems in the 70s & 80s Opel sold identical models to Vauxhall (abeit with different fronts) Along side each other - my Uncle had an Opel Ascona. Later it seems Vauxhall used Opel as kind of sporting brand selling the likes of the Manta and Monza - can somebody enlighten me on this GM puzzle?

I'm going to look at a kadett c coupe tomorrow which will hopefully be the new mother of my 2l cih from the dead manta.
should be fun!!!
