Monaco Blue Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) Not a Manta but had to post this being a close relative. Being sold by KGF Classic Cars for £12995. Probably a record for a Cavalier. It does look rather nice in Sapphire Blue: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Probably-The-Best-Vauxhall-Cavalier-Mk1-2000GLS-Coupe-with-Just-17-115-Miles-/282624584192?hash=item41cdbcea00:g:V5EAAOSwaRhZoC8Q Lots of high res photos to drool over via the KGF website.

I tried to find it without avail. Typical Facebook! There was a lot of different figures being mentioned as to what it was worth. If I recall correctly, a figure of £10K was put on it eventually. 17 minutes ago, Rapierdave said: Allegedly sold to KGF for around £5k 🤑 I'd like to think not, but if true, he must be feeling sick! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are assuming KGF will get nearly £13K for it, even if it was a Manta I think he would struggle to get the asking price. If KGF get top dollar then well done 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavtastic Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Sold for 5 K to a dealer, I was prepared to buy this off the original owner for 6.5K subject to viewing before offer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you are feeling a bit down at missing out on it. I'd also imagine (despite Rapierdave's comments above) that the seller isn't amused either. Will be interesting to see if it does sell for more than say £10K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavtastic Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 To be honest I'm not that concerned now as long as it finds a good home and it does not reappear as an Exclusive coupe in a few years on an E plate. a bit too expensive to do that now though?

Agreed re it finding a good home. Wouldn't be surprised if it's hidden away to resurface again in 5-10 years time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG STU Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Gutted. It's the same colour as my first cavalier. . If I had seen this for sale on Facebook, I would of bought this as an investment for my lad. He is 11 now. I could of put it away until he was old enough to drive. There again I probably wouldn't of let him in 6 years time. All good intentions hey..... I just hope who ever buys it looks after it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
