So was the Vauxhall Viva. A very decent little McPherson strut live rear axle thing. Or its bigger brother..the one before the cavalier..

Chevette?

Na, the shoveit was an Astra sized car. Cresta perhaps.

No.. the one that was almost an Opel Manta, but with 4 doors..
Cresta was earlier. I thought it *was* the chevette..

Yup, you are right, I just realised that by "the one before the

dates. Cresta was cav sized but predated it by a few years.
