Its shocking how long cars last in England as a whole.  |

Do cars tend to last longer in America? This could have ended up in a crash for all we know. It's only an ordinary Cavalier anyway, not a car many people would care about preserving. -- Last edit: 2012-01-11 21:12:23 |

The rougher British ocean-climate should be mentioned, too. If you watch old clunkers, especially in coastal areas, they have more rust than cars on the continent. And cars on old junkyards (if some are still existing in the EU-times...) are also more rusty than cars, standing for a similar time outside in continental Europe (I remember the two K 70, we have wrecked in 1999 in Hull, just a few km near the shore. After 15 years outside no tools were needed, we've torn them with our hands into bits). And yes, the average age of junkyard-cars in Britain is lower than here. You are surprised, how new some cars are over there (no accident-cars). -- Last edit: 2012-01-11 21:28:13 |

Isn't rust less of a problem nowadays, because cars have coatings that prevent rust? Don't cars from the last 20 years or so only tend to get rust where the paint chips/flakes off? I think it's more to do with things like depreciation, the cost of fixing cars to pass MOTs or just some people's attitude to cars (they don't want to drive old cars or don't think they can keep going as long as they really could, see this Link to "www.dailymail.co.uk" - although that's because of a scrappage scheme, apparentely) -- Last edit: 2012-01-11 21:46:16 |

Apparently, yes. It's amazing how many vehicles in the UK have only 10 or 12 examples. By contrast, Haggerty collector car insurance (which insures any car over 25 years old) only lists six or seven models of which they have fewer than 10 insured in the U.S., such as the Dodge St. Regis, the Oldsmobile Starfire (H-body), and the Plymouth Cricket. This is only the number of vehicles that carry collector car insurance...many cars of that age still carry standard car insurance. Plus, given the low rate of scrappage in the U.S. in general, there are probably plenty more sitting in yards and garages. As for U.K. scrappage and low survival rates, I would assume that the strictness of the MOT ("You have a little rust right there! Fail!") combined with the extremely high cost of auto insurance is the culprit. |

This Cavalier was still produced in Luton. It can has British origin IMO. Edit: like other mk III at the site in fact. -- Last edit: 2012-03-06 15:04:13 |

Made in Luton but of German design. |

IMO it should be Origin Germany - Made in and Made for GB and that goes for every Vauxhsll since the Chevette (and even that one is a bit dubious) for just that reason. Whilst there was some styling revisions between Vauxhall and Opel versions even the guy who Vauxhall paid to 'design' their grill onto their cars wasn't British. -- Last edit: 2012-03-07 02:16:38 |
