Entry-level Vauxhall, slotting below Viva, and using Viva’s 1·3-litre engine, but with Opel Kadett C-type body. Front end boasted “cat’s eyes” look that had started with the Vauxhall Firenza. Originally a hatchback, beating Ford and Chrysler with this body style in the UK; notchback saloons and estates from 1976. Hot hatch model, the HS 2300, launched 1978, and competed successfully in rallies. Exported without a marque (just as ‘Chevette’) to continental Europe and sold at Opel dealers after the deletion of Opel City in 1979. New Zealand had interesting Enduro series with Radial Tuned Suspension from 1979; deleted 1981 and was the last Vauxhall car sold there. Basic motoring, but fairly practical and very successful for Vauxhall. Estate formed basis of Bedford Chevanne light van in UK.
Marque: Vauxhall | Successors: Holden Gemini (TD), Opel Corsa A
