    Welcome to the corner of the internet most dedicated for the the trusty Vauxhall Cavalier MK2!
    Proud to be a VBOA affiliated owners club home dedicated to all variants of the General Motors 'J Car' platform worldwide*.

     

    The site started in 1998 and contains thousands of posts, articles, project threads and more. 

    Car forums may have been ruined by social media (you access our Facebook page here!) but the old skool gang are still here,

    actively seeking to refresh peoples memories of these brilliant cars - one of the most popular and fondly remembered of the 1980's. 
     

    Sign up to join a small band of enthusiasts here to keep these old girls running, always on the look-out for new members & events. 

    Grab a coffee, register, come say hello, or join the club today!

     

    You can also check out our artwork, hoodies, accessories and other merchandise here

     

    *The MK2 had more variants than any other car of the eighties; 5 door hatchback, 2 & 4 door saloons, estate and a plethora of special editions!

    Ranging from the Antibes, Club, Commander to the limited run Calibre as well as convertible variants.

    AKA the Opel Ascona C, the Chevrolet Monza, Pontiac Sunbird the Holden Camira, Isuzu Aska and many many more!

    • Hopefully the engine isn't dead 
    • So brief update on my ascona since I've posted last  In December 2023 bloke that cutting my grass accidentally broke my left rear quarter vent window  After a nightmare trying to find the glass I finally managed to find the glass Still busy installing it.    Got the digital cluster to work somehow by itself    Car won't start now suspect it's the ignition switch    Radiator leak got worse luckily managed to source a new one still need to get a brand new expansion tank and radiator hoses.    Sourced astra mk4 handbrake cable hopefully it works 🤞🤞   Theres a oil leak I can't track down 🤷 Don't know after 39 years if the engine is finally finished.   
    • Well.....it was sort of enjoyed, just not the swimming pool in the tent bit lol
    • So no wet boys this year Bet they didn't let you forget that part of Dad bonding, 😂
    • Well the ex has decided to take my boys away that weekend on his birthday so I will have to get booked in for me (maybe plus a n other).   Ivan, nice one.   Andy good job on the rebrand and merch   Happy to help let me know what / if anything is required (now or on the weekend).
    • Looking ahead to this.   I have the BBQ and gas sorted which is plenty big enough to cater for everyone so I will be bringing that with me. Tony is working on the stickers now with the aim to have both general mk2cav member window stickers and show attendance stickers available.   We will have a proper shelter in case the rain returns or we just need a sun shade (fingers crossed). We'll have this in the next few weeks.   Andy is finishing up a club rebrand including a new logo that will be incorporated into merch and banners. So we'll have hoodies, t-shirts etc available before the show.   For the BBQ there will need to be a charge. Thinking £10 per adult and £5 per child? This should give us enough scope to put on a good spread (burgers, sausages, baked spuds, corn, some salad etc)   Thoughts and input welcome folks. I don't think I've missed any of the major stuff we've been missing over the past few years.
    • Sorry meant 1.6    I’ve tried starting a post but I think you need to be a paid member   I’m going to fit the 2.5v6 waiting in an engine mount then she’s going in
    • Welcome to the site. I would have thought that if its a 1.8 then its got injection otherwise it's a 1.6.
    • Hello and welcome to the forum   Get some photos of the car up, we all like to see photos   Which way are you leaning with the engine choices?
    • Hey folks   bought my mk2 saloon a few years back have a few mk3 cavaliers in my shed also   but bought this 1 blind from a guy in Birmingham, I’m from Northern Ireland, but it’s a 1.8 carb model. My intentions was 2ltr 8v or v6 both of which I had sitting, still do 😂   but the project took a back seat as I was fixing an building other cars but now I want to get back into the mk2 project an get it out for summer
