1978 Vauxhall Cavalier

The Cavalier was revised in 1978 as the 1.9 liter became a 2.0 liter engine, and the 1.3 liter overhead valve engine from the Viva and Chevette was used to create the entry level Cavalier 1.3. From 1978 until 1979 Vauxhall offered the Cavalier Coupe in a convertible format called the Centaur, of which 118 were made. A 1978 version with the Ascona front was sold in South Africa as the Chevrolet Ascona.
