My girlfriends Grandad owns a 'mint' 1980 light blue Chevette! :D It's one owner from new and done just 55k! How can someome have the same car for 28 years!! :D

 

Anyway, he wants shut of it and has asked me if I want it! Not to my personal taste but it has to be worth something to someone! :D

 

Anyone know where's the best place to sell something like this?

Aww my first car was a Vauxhall Chevette 1.3. Is that the larger engined version?

 

Rear wheel drive too, if I remember rightly, as I managed to spin it at a T-junction doing hardly any miles per hour at all!

 

Maybe its worth trying the BBC, as it would fit in nicely somewhere in Ashes to Ashes :) As long as they don't smash it up! :)

That would make a great little project sleeper, alot have dropped a vaux redtop into these and they really fly.

 

 

They did also come in a 2.3l, which must've been absolutely mad, as they weren't exactly stable round corners!

 

That Vauxhall 'Calibra' 2l 16v (non Ecotec) engine gets put into almost anything too small for it, a lot! My Calibra was lovely, when it worked ;)

how much now ;)

 

I haven't a clue dude, didn't really think anyone would be interested!

 

I need to go see it and see what kind of condition it's in. It's almost certainly got a flat battery as I don't think it's been out the garage in years!

 

In the mean time, here's the pic off my phone:
