1979 Opel Kadett Reviews

Not much, just the normal wear. New brakes once in a while. Rust is a big problem though.

My girlfriend bought this car in 2002 and we have used it as a car nr. 2 ever since. I am using it on a daily basis.

It is very cheap to repair on, and really fun to drive. And surprisingly reliable, especially the engine, who just runs and runs and runs.

With its old fashioned technology it is a bit of a sports car: Rear wheel drive, no ABS, no esp, no servo.

Replaced springs and shocks.

Some body panels.

Treated rust areas.

I bought this car for £100 as a little runabout in 1999 when I was broke and out of work.

I used to do 56000 miles a year in company cars.

Goes like a little bullet.

Truly handles like it's on rails.

Very very reliable, took it partially restored to IOM TT 2002. It never missed a beat pulled uphills like a little train.

So nice decided to restore it and keep it as part of the family.

Apart from cult club in germany very rare and different little car in the u.k. now.
