My mum bought a new car in 1982, a Cavalier 1.6L hatch. It was launched in 1981 IIRC, and I remember thinking at the time that the Ital was incredibly dated in comparison. That was before the Sierra hit the roads I think, briefly, in 1982 'Y' reg examples of Cavalier, Sierra, Ital, Ambassador (Maxi?) existed. The question is who bought the BL offerings, and what on earth possessed them ;-) Actually, I can partly answer my own question - my Grandad bought a 1982 Maxi... That was brown though, not silver birch ;-)

Titter ye not. My old guvnor bought a facelift Marina service van, not sure if the Ital front ever made it to the vans, around the time this was made. That too had the A+ 1.3 engine, and it wasn't a bad motor at all. A workmate and myself used that van for a thrash From Northants to High Wycombe and back cross country daily for around 2 years whilst we were on contract hire, despite being well thrashed, the van performed well and economically, never broke down and started first time every time, often carrying two fully built up truck tyres on wheels for the inevitable punctures we gained on hard tip work, plus permanently situated jacks wheelbraces and other tools...yes we changed our own wheels and fixed our own running repairs. If well maintained, especially keeping the front suspension greased, the basic design wasn't as bad as some would have you believe.

>>The question is who bought the BL offerings, and what on earth possessed them ;-) I bought a new Maxi 1750 in 1980, just before BL introduced the Maxi II. It wasn't a bad car really, apart from multiple rattles and squeaks and an annoying clutch judder. Wish I had spent another £500 and bought a Cavalier, though.

I had a 1978 Cavalier as my first company car. Only a 1.6L. The one that was RWD and had a droop snoot. Cracking car though. Willing engine and handled sweetly. Unfortunately it was custard yellow with a sort of orangey / tan check interior. I lived in Edinburgh at the time and American tourists used to think I was a cab. Had to put a radio in it, still got that somewhere I think. Manual push button thing.

My Dad bought a new Maxi in 1981. He was buying British and it was his second Maxi, the first one was let go as it was on the verge of needing gearbox work and welding at 4 years old. I learned to drive in it. I had a real shock when I then went out in my driving instructor's Fiesta and realised there were vehicles in which it was possible to feel the clutch biting point, change gear without baulking and feel which way the car is going through the steering. The second Maxi had all the weaknesses of the first, with no obvious sign that BL had improved anything. Gearbox synchromesh wore out on 2nd and 4th after 18 months with no chance of any goodwill from BL (they pointed out it was a hi-tech 5 speed box so could not possibly be as robust as a 4 speeder). Problems with the paint peeling off were solved by respraying the affected panels in a noticeably different shade, rust started bubbling through after around about 3 years. Choke cable snapped and the replacement need 2 weeks to be delivered. Hydragas suspension collapsed, etc. etc. It was the last BL product my Dad bought. For me it was an introduction to driving an antique, even by the standards of the early 80s, and to seriously bad customer service.       1

I had a narrow escape from a new Ambassador in 1982, after owning a succession of BL's bigger FWD cars, all of which I liked in spite of appalling build quality, etc, etc. My brief encounter with an All Aggro is another story. But one day my next-door neighbour asked me to drive his recently-bought Ital, because he wasn't entirely happy with it. I just couldn't believe how diabolical it was. You couldn't even sit straight. After our discussion he turned it in for a new base model Cavalier - which was a super little motor. I guess any car with ultra low mileage has value as a curiosity - I have mentioned my friend's 2CV that has only been on the road once in its life - but only as a curiosity, not necessarily as a desirable artefact.

Pal and his family used to go to France camping with us in the 70s, he in his new Austin Ambassador. Whileing away few hours in one town we popped into see local BL dealer after friend felt "something not quite right" up front in the Ambassador. Very obliging Monsieur put it on lift and went underneath, to be heard muttering same word over and over ..."incroyable". Invited us to have a look. Only one of the engine´s 3 mountings was affixed. Drove very gingerly home and took it back to supplying dealer - who wasn't overlysurprised. Quelle Quality Controllee! Hacko

New Sat 19 May 12 11:50   New Ital, anybody? - DP

I have a soft spot for some of the old BL/AR stuff (Maxi, Princess, Mini) but I thought the Ital looked dated when it was brand new. Awful build/reliability as well. Our neighbours had a brand new one in 1982 and it was always back at the dealer. It also had visible rot at 18 months old. This is an incredibly lovely example though, and I'm sure someone will be very happy with it. If it were a mk2 Cavalier or a Sierra, I'd be a lot more excited. :-) On a related note, I saw an absolutely mint X-reg Allegro 2 on the M3 yesterday. Funny how you still instantly recognise a car when you haven't seen one for about 10 years. Last edited by: DP on Sat 19 May 12 at 11:51

Well, I was the organ grinder's monkey's assistant's gopher in those days so no metallic paint for the likes of me. The company had bought a yellow one, a pale blue one and a red one for three new starters that day. My train was late and the yellow one was what was left...Always remember it cost me £6 to brim it with 4* the first time I filled it. Had to write a cheque for serious money like that. Still liked it though. My boss in those days had a metallic brown 3.0S Capri with gold coloured wheels. Used to get a shot of that quite regularly. That was a fun car.

Yellow doesn't suit every car but I always though the Cavalier looked rather nice in it, particularly the higher spec models with a decent trim level.

I like lemony yellow - if I came across a really nice 406 coupe in that (rare) colour I'd be tempted even though I really should now have four doors. There's a guy tooling round here at weekends in a Lancia Monte Carlo in what I think is a very fetching shade of sunshine yellow. I had a girlfriend years ago who had a yellow Mk 1 Cavalier. She wanted to move it on and buy a Citroen Visa (which she eventually did) but it needed tidying up so she gave it a rattle can respray in the original custard colour - and made a brilliant job of it, too.

"The paint work is pretty much unmarked, with just a few chips touched in with a touch up-brush over the past 31 years and the odd blemish here and there, the tiniest of dimple dents to the bottom of the driver’s door and some very fine barely visible surface only hairline scratches" That's actually quite a bit of wear and tear for so few miles.

Setting aside the question of the asking price, if structurally sound that's a very nice car indeed. A friend had a 2000 Spider which may have had slightly more curvaceous lines than that one. I will ask him when I see him tomorrow if I remember. It wasn't fast - the 2600 in the same body was better from that point of view - but it was really, really nice.

Seems a lot of money considering the condition, but then over 30,000 views and 20 bids so what do I know.

In yer dreams Dog. Dear but they are fetching really daft money. Viewing the video the washer bottle was a bit cruddy but would you believe that one of the side adds showed a refurbished one for only £200 :-O Last edited by: Fullchat on Mon 11 Jun 12 at 23:47

That's a very nice clean example though. It looks new apart from the fit of door and boot panels. As well as looking harmless and elderly, it would go like stuff off a shovel and be thoroughly practical, economical almost, as a daily driver. One might almost be tempted, had one Lud's money.

I had to do a double-take on the GBP65K example, at first glance it looks identical to my Dad's 1100 deluxe he had at the time. Seeing the interior and rectangular headlamps / Mexico style front bumper implies it's not an 1100 deluxe and I detect that the 13" wheels are wider (but with normal hubcaps). No picture of the engine though ? Otherwise - what a Q car, looking exactly like its pedestrian siblings but packing a Lotus engine. I do hope it didn't reply on drum brakes all round though.
