What do you make of this? An old vauxhall chevette 1984 going up for auction with a guide price of between 2,500 and 3,500. Sounds crazy to me,. Doesnt even have an MOT now.
I thought they stopped making chevettes in 1982 not 84. Looks a very old fashione dcar for 84.

Lot 6 Estimate £2500 - 3500 Mileage 16436 Colour GREEN Trim Colour GREEN Chassis No M2EE134006 Engine No 2256344 Registration No A819PKE CC 1256 M.O.T MAY 2006 Introduced in May 1975, the Chevette was notable as Vauxhall's first small hatchback. A neat three-door design with frontal styling cues taken from the 'Droop Snoot' Firenza, its monocoque bodyshell featured independent double-wishbone front suspension, a Panhard-rod located coil-sprung 'live' rear axle, dual circuit servo-assisted brakes and rack and pinion steering. Powered by a 1256cc OHV four-cylinder engine, its 57bhp and 66lbft of torque outputs were fed to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox. An engaging drive, it was reputedly capable of over 90mph in base trim. Equipped with two-speed fan, radial tyres, reversing lamps and heated rear windscreen as standard, a September 1979 facelift saw it gain flush-fitting headlamps, revised reclining front seats, door pockets, additional facia vents and a rear fog lamp. A best-seller during the 1970s, it remained in production until 1984. Finished in green with green cloth upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in "as new" condition with regard to its engine, transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, bodywork and paintwork. Said to have had "one owner from new", this "timewarp car" has covered just 16,346 miles. Reportedly "well maintained" and subject to "only light summer use", it is still shod with its original Michelin tyres. Perfect for museum display or as a 'priceless' piece of nostalgia, this remarkable Chevette is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until May 18th 2006.
