1979 Opel Kadett City 1.2 Hatchback. review from UK and Ireland
"Want some fun and pleasure get one..........."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced springs and shocks.
Some body panels.
Treated rust areas.
General comments?
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.
