With some very slight de-modifying (mainly those front indicators and reverting to original alloys) I think this is a very tidy, standard looking Cavalier. I'd drive it.

I quite like that, it reminds me of the first car i ever bought with my own money. It was the same colour but the one i had was a rather slow base model 1.6.
2 grand sounds a bit rich though........

Disagree, If you wanted to build a similar Cavalier you would have to spend considerable more than £2k!

£2K would normally not even get you the worst example of a C20LET in a Corsa/Astra that still runs 1.2 brakes, suspension etc

Indeed, but its still a 20 year old Cav with 100k on it. It may cost a lot more than 2 grand to build it today but modifications do not equal a 120% increase in value over a standard sri.
I still love it and imagine it will sell at that price to an enthusiast, it just wouldnt be my money.

To someone building a kit car with a Vauxhall red top in mind the engine/turbo has to be worth £2k alone...

Afraid not. This was just something I spotted parked up at the side of the road and grabbed a picture as I walked past. It said 440 bhp on the side on a very small badge smile

I would imagine it would be worth more stripped and sold off. I wish modifications did add value because over the years i have owned my car i have spent more on it than it is now worth today but i guess its a labour of love and a hobby.
