 HISTORY
The new Kadett D, introduced in the fall of 1979, was a car with a transverse mounted 1196cc OHV or 1290cc OHC engine, driving front wheels trough a 4-speed manual gearbox.
As is customary with Opel, three trim levels were available on all models of the Kadett D series: standard, luxury and Berlina.
For those with a sporting taste, the Kadett could be ordered with the SR equipment package, with included front and rear spoilers, low profile 185/60 radials on aluminum rims, flared fenders, Recaro sport seats and additional instrumentation.
