I would like to be the sad git that points out that the spec of the Cavalier is wrong. All the ph2 SRi's had alloys, wheras the Corgi model shows the plastic wheel trim style of the ph1 cars

Is it even sadder to point out that you are wrong and wheel trims were standard at this time apart from on the SRi 130?
Does being a 1987 second facelift Cavalier MK11 make this a ph3 car?

Love that Cavvy

That car *could* have lost its alloys at some time. And IIRC, there was only once facelift, early cars all had black front grilles, facelift were colour coded, and had a reflector panel around the rear number plate.

Capri, Granada, 205 or Golf please! Anything but those Vauxhalls.

I have a few of these

[RemyMartin]

I have a Minichamps Ford Sierra Eggenberger Texaco RS500 and the detail on it is spectacular. Even down to the anodised fuel fittings.

[sjabrown]

205 but with 1.6 alloys please - then it'll resemble my road one perfectly

[rubystone]

Where's the cirrhosis blue XR2 Mark 1? I've just ordered mine from Modelzone...I had the real thing in that colour back in 1987...mammaries eh?

There were two different mk2 Cavalier SRi's. The one above is a 115bhp model hence the hubcaps. Only the SRi 130 had the same 'teardrop' alloys as the mk2 Astra GTE along with 130 written on the front doors after SRi.

I wondered if 80Quattro was thinking of the SRi130 too. Anyway it would be easy to check from period magazines and brochures. I'm sure s_m will be along in a bit.

Seems the PH article omitted some better motors:

I don't remember the Harrier having a decal on the bonnet.

Dear Santa....

I already have the Nova. No seriously i have a yellow Nova SR sat in my garage. Not used it since 98. It was my second car. Had a full paint on it and never got round to putting it back together. Will do one day. Looks just like the model only with white compomotive MO's on it. Oh and a Cav SRI 130 engine in it that was bored out to 2.1 and race prepped running a webber carb bolted to an F20 box. Used to fly! Then again i was getting in that straight out of a 1.1 Fiesta. Those were the days! Lol!

See the OS front tyre tread on that Granada? 'Gripped, the hat, lets offroad'! Snow tyres?

The B posts on the Nova look ideal for losing motorcyclists in.

Launch cars (and SR at the time) had a horizontal slatted grey grill, 1985 facelift cars had the squares grille, a rear reflector (and the SRi gained the chin spoiler) then the 1987 facelift saw the colour coded grille and the tinted reflector added.

[Ryan9078]

Funny how you can't scale metallic paint down isnt it. But these are amazing copies of the real thing. where they always this accurate?

Can one assume that any details received will not be used for marketing purposes or given to any third party?

They also had slightly taller headlights and indicators which filled the gap from the phase one from the top of the headlight to the bonnet. It's even a slightly different pattern on the headlamp glass slits clear to see. The Sri had the tinted rear lights and rear panel and colour coded spoiler over the black rubber one.

I've had a few in the past and would lve another one...
