Classic Opel Forum NZ

Yesterday I spotted at 1978 Cavalier Coupe (Opel Manta): KW2107. It was part of the Great British Car Show that is currently travelling down the country.

My brother also spotted a 2010 Insignia: GJP349

I spotted a Cavalier coupe driving through TImaru a few days ago, but didn't see the plate. I presumed it was the one belonging to member Alan Ferguson who lives locally, so didn't think any more of it.

"Great British Car Show"? Not heard anything about it.

did a car jam on that Mk1 Cavalier, looks like its a NZ new one with only 68k on the clock, would be interested to know how that got into NZ back in the day

it belongs too or did,to Alan Ferguson in Timaru,ive got a photo of it at the 96 National Rally in Dunedin.

Wasn't that one I saw.

Will check with Alan if he has sold his, or maybe touring with it since he is retired.

Thanks Nik. Low profile event. Pity they didn't arrange to go all the way down to Invercargill/Bluff! Do you think they consider Christchurch is the only place in the South Island?

It was on the TV, I think Breakfast TV On Friday?

Too add Neville, Alan spooner from CHCH, who you may have come across at the Nationals in Oct, he has or did have a white Cavalier the same onlyit was 18oo cc

Yes, I thought it was a white one, so must be his.

Thanks Linz

Blue cavalier was in Tauranga the week before when they drove down from Auckland.

Was amused to see the buybritishcars.co.nz was a BMW covered with a Union Jack flag all over it

Spotted a NZ new Monza GSE (burgundy in colour) it looked super tidy as it drove by. I as Dad about it, hes thinks he sold it to the guy in the late 80's!

Sounds good. If you see it again, can you pass on the club details please?

If I was to create an info sheet on the Forum for members to print off and leave on prospective owner car windows, would you use it? Word or .pdf file work best?
