1989 Vauxhall Chevette 1. 3L Saloon

Please see our website for full walk round video

Launched in 1975 the vauxhall Chevette was an instant sales hit with the slogan “Its whatever you want it to be”. Initially offered as a small hatchback to sit under the Viva in the range however it ended up replacing the Viva and the range ultimately sported a saloon, estate and van as well. From 1975 through to 1978 it was actually Britain’s biggest selling hatchback and was popular right up until its demise in 1984. It was built at the purpose built plant at Ellesmere Port in Cheshire under a government grant to bring employment to the area. Of the extraordinary production numbers of the Chevette very few remain today and especially not in the condition offered here.

Bradley James Classics are delighted to be able to offer you a stunning original 1980 Chevette 1. 3L finished in gleaming Chestnut Brown Metallic with contrasting Tan trim - she is a true survivor. HJT707V was bought new in April 1980 and still retains all her original features and dealer number plates and rear window sticker.

Her bodywork is in beautiful original order with superb panel gaps and no corrosion evident with everything is as it would have been in 1980. Her paintwork absolutely gleams and is in exceptionally nice condition. There is one small localised are of minor microblistering but as she is 40 years old one has to set expectations accordingly and i think we can forgive it any minor blemishes along the way - we would be happy looking at a 5 year old car in this condition never mind a 40 year old! She is rock solid underneath and has been fully undersealed.

Open any one of her doors and you are met with a beautiful sight in the form of her beautiful original tan interior. Everything is in superb condition - her seats, carpets, dashboard and switchgear etc. Even her original rear parcel shelf which were notorious for cracking in the sun is nice and fresh looking. Her headlining is beautiful and she still retains her original Phillips radio (not even a cassette, but just a radio!) and her original single mono speaker.

To drive she is exceptionally nice and tight and one is instantly reminded how well the Vauxhall’s from this era drove. She is very DIY friendly with very simple mechanicals for a bit of Sunday tinkering. Her 68, 000 miles are original and this shows in the way she glides effortlessly along. Under the bonnet is as stunning as her outside and you could happily show this car exactly as it is and expect to very well at any car show where it will bring back many happy memories for a lot of people. She has a really good history file with original handbook, brochure and old receipts etc.

In summary Chevettes like this are few and far between and no not come up for sale very often. she is in wonderful original condition and is ready to be enjoyed and shown. In stock now - we do not anticipate she will be with us for very long.

We offer a part exchange service and full UK delivery at sensible rates.

We are based in Overton, Hampshire (RG25)
