Celebrating the Vauxhall Cavalier's 25th year at the Performance Vauxhall Show

A special 25^th birthday display to celebrate the silver anniversary of the Cavalier Turbo will be one of the big draws at this year's Performance Vauxhall Show, which takes place at Santa Pod Raceway, Beds, U.K., on 11^th June 2017. The hot Cavalier stood out from the repmobile crowd with its 204bhp C20LET turbocharged engine, four-wheel drive and Chevrolet Corvette-derived six-speed gearbox when it made its debut in 1992.

But with just 49 examples left registered on U.K. roads, it's now one of the rarest and most cherished of performance saloons from the 1990s. At least 10 of the surviving examples will be on display at the show, from immaculately preserved standard variants to the wildly modified.

The Cavalier feature will be just one part of the ultimate show for fans of hot Vauxhalls, which regularly attracts over 10,000 visitors to the famous drag strip. With on-strip action, including the chance for owners to enter their own Vauxhalls in a VX-only 'Run What Ya Brung', Santa Pod will be spilling over with Griffin greats, be them retro Novas, Chevettes, Cavaliers and Astras, or more modern VX220s, Monaros and VXRs.
