Silver Aero                   

Vauxhall Cavalier Mk 1 "Silver Aero" 2.4 Turbo Sportshatch

“Silver Aero” was a one off Prototype build in 1980 based on the Cavalier MK1 Sportshatch.  The car was displayed at the International Car Show at the NEC in October 1980.  The plan was to offer existing Sportshatch owners and buyers to upgrade there car to the Silver Aero spec.

The car has a 2.4 Turbocharged engine which produces 150bhp.  This was build by WBB Racing Limited and Turbo Torque Limited.  Special vents were incorporated into the bonnet to aid with cooling of the Turbo.  The special bodykit is made of glass fibber and includes the front nose cone, lower front spoiler with built in fog lamps and indicators, mouldings on the sills and full under body skirting.  A wing was fitted to the rear hatch and a special spoiler to the lower valance.  Special alloy wheels with Goodyear tyres completed the externals.

The inside of the car does not disappoint.  Lavishly equipped with deep pile carpeting, plush door trim and advanced black leather recaro seats.  A Voxon Radio/cassette was incorporated into the centre console.
