1977 Vauxhall Cavalier

Automobiles

The first Vauxhall Cavalier to be assembled at Vauxhall's Luton plant was driven off the production line by Eric Fountain, Vauxhall's manufacturing director, on 26 August 1977. At that stage the 1584 cubic centimeter and 1979 cubic centimeter versions were still being imported from Belgium, but in due course these too started to emerge from the Luton production plant. The 1977 Cavalier was the first to be assembled at Luton rather than imported from the Continent.
