Topic: Vauxhall Chevette


  
  Vauxhall Chevette - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was Vauxhall's version of GM's family of small 'T-Cars', which included the Opel Kadett in Germany, the Isuzu Gemini in Japan, the Holden Gemini in Australia, the Chevrolet Chevette in the USA and Brazil and a badge-engineered Pontiac Acadian/Pontiac T1000 in the USA and Canada.
However, unlike the Viva, the Chevette was designed as a hatchback, a style that was rapidly becoming popular in the mid 1970s.
Although the Chevette was largely a rebadged Opel Kadett C with revised front-end (detailed below), it did use the 1256 cc overhead valve engine of the Viva instead of the Opel power units found in its Kadett sister car.

 Chevrolet Chevette - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chevrolet Chevette was Chevrolet's version of GM's worldwide T platform of the 1970s, which was also sold as the Vauxhall Chevette, Opel Kadett, Isuzu Gemini and the Holden Gemini, among others.
The T-car was actually first launched in Brazil under the Chevette name in 1974, as a two-door sedan — the Brazilian Chevette line eventually included a 3-door hatchback and a 2-door station wagon (named Marajó), as well as a pickup (named the Chevy 500), and was produced until 1994.
Production of the Chevette in the USA started in late 1975 for the 1976 model year; initially there was a 3-door hatchback with a 1.4 or 1.6 L gasoline engine, and a 4-speed manual transmission.

The Chevette, announced in March 1975, proved to be the last car badged as a Vauxhall that actually used a Vauxhall-designed engine.
The first Chevettes for Britain were initially only the three-door hatchback models introduced at the launch in 1975, followed a year later by the two-door and four-door saloon car versions.
The Vauxhall Chevette estate was surprisingly roomy in the back, and with the back seats folded down you could even accommodate a pair of boisterous Labrador’s.

Vauxhall were turned into rebadged Opels at the end of the seventies or so, and they were no longer available in Holland.

We had a Vauxhall Chevette back then and it WAS a car ahead of it's time.

When uprating your engine it is important to consider such other items as brakes, suspension etc. A cheap brake upgrade is to fit discs and calipers off a Manta.
Or use vented discs of a 2.2 Vauxhall Carlton along with 4 pot calipers off a Austin Princess or Volvo 240 models.
The master cylinder should cope with this type of brake upgarde as they were the same bore sixe on all of the Chevettes, 1256 and 2300.
