Mystery Man ◊ 2021-12-04 20:40	I think we're in Germany. So: 1981-82 Opel Chevette Kombi. L trim only. First Opel Chevette here, so even rarer as I thought... -- Last edit: 2021-12-04 20:48:33

Sold under Opel brand (and badged as such), or only without without Vauxhall branding, simply as a Chevette ? It reminds me the longer standing Bedford Blitz career (aka Bedford CF marketed with the bliz on the grille, but without any Opel badging). Or the european Ford Capri sold in the USA by the Mercury dealers, but only under Capri badges...
dsl ◊ 2021-12-04 21:15	We have another of these in Germany as Vauxhall Chevette Estate with some discussion. But I think we've had other discussions as well on German Chevettes which I can't find, but a memory that someone said they were not sold or promoted as Opel and maybe not as Vauxhall either, just as naked Chevette. If true it would mean a new make, but I'm not sure we should go down that road - they'd get lost and forgotten. All Vauxhall badging was removed and no Opel badge substituted - there was a partwork model issued in an "Opel Collection" series a few years ago (with some dodgy details because they used an abandoned Chevette HS tooling set) but that does not solve our question about the best way to name them.
Mystery Man ◊ 2021-12-04 22:04	I think you are right that it was just called Chevette.

A flash of inspiration (inspired by a Marmite sandwich - brainfood of the gods) exploded in Glasgow - search for "Chevette" comments by ingo - there's a small mountain to sift through. Some highlights: ingo wrote Wiki says, that it was sold here as two-door Hatchback, two-door Estate and four-door Sedan (total 12.332 cars) http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Chevette .But I only can remember the Hatchback, the other versions I've never awarely noticed. (The wiki page is in foreign, so I'll have to trust ingo's summary) ingo wrote This week a colleague has told me, that he owned a Vauxhall Chevette in the 80ies (LHD for the German market). He said, that the technic wasn't identical with the Opel Kadett C. The engine was different, also the ancillary units. And it was made in inch-measures, not as the Kadett in metric measures. This has caused problems, when he needed repairs and parts. The parts have to be ordered in Britain and the Opel-garagist got in trouble to find inch-tools. ingo wrote In West Germany Vauxhall never appeared officially, except the Chevette and the Bedford CF (which was named Opel). But these two models are the only, which are listed under "Vauxhall" in the type-code-list for the German car-insurances. This code is issued for every car, officially distributed in Germany. And a bonus from e225 electra225 wrote I have got a German Chevette brochure: There were four model: 2 door sedan, 4 door sedan, 3 door hatchback and 3 door wagon. The funny thing is that they missed the Vauxhall badge everywhere (and didn't have an Opel one indeed...).
ManuelB ◊ 2021-12-05 00:49	Thank you for all your lights the brochure is awesome : I had never seen one of them like that, in France we had LHD Vauxhall Chevette, badged as such and sold by the Opel dealers, quite rare and just for one or two years... -- Last edit: 2021-12-05 00:49:42
Bux_48 ◊ 2021-12-05 01:07	Very, very interesting! I didn't know such "badgeless" model existed, I think we got them as Vauxhall for a couple of years, like in France..

It reminds me the longer standing Bedford Blitz career (aka Bedford CF marketed with the bliz on the grille, but without any Opel badging). ... The CF was -at least in the brochures- labeled as Opel, also the very very few TK, which were sold here. This guy thinks, that his Opel Bedford Blitz towing truck is the one and only survivor: https://www.oldieschrauber.eu/projekt-blitz-abschleppwagen/ It's so rare, that even at Opel noone knows, that it was really built.
