Vauxhall Cavalier Mk3 4x4 Rally Concept Car     

Put together as a Concept Car for display at the Birmingham International Motor Show at the NEC.  The 4x4 Cavalier was introduced with the New Mk3 Cavalier in 1988.  Motor Sport Development based in Milton Keynes who ran GM Euro Sport built this car with aspirations to having it homologated into Group A in the World Rally Championship.  The car used the normally aspirated BTCC Cavalier engine and another vehicle was also fitted with a Saab Turbo unit.  Initial testing and development was carried out by Dave Metcalfe but the project was canned and replaced by the ill-fated Vauxhall Calibra Rally Car project.  One wonders how the Cavalier would have fair if the project had been given the green light.
