1984 Vauxhall Cavalier

Automobiles

Following the British public's reluctance to embrace the Ford Sierra's radical styling in 1982, the Cavalier overtook the Sierra in sales and outsold the Sierra in 1984 and again in 1985. The Cavalier Mark II was the front wheel drive J car, built at Luton and shared with the Opel Ascona C, while the Opel brand sold the Manta and Monza as sports models in Britain. The 1984 Cavalier outsold the Ford Sierra, a rival that the British public did not embrace at first.
