Matchbox Custom of my own Vauxhall Cavalier 

Classic matchbox custom Vauxhall cavalier 1990

I love this casting. One of my favorites.

Hey Rob, this by far my favourite one, like you it takes me back to you youth. You have done an amazing job 👏 keep up the good work 👍👍👍

Great job on the matchbox cavalier looks Awesome. On this model is the prefect example of cutting out the sunroof to see the inside from the top.

😍😍😍😍 I bought 3 of these as a kid, my absolute favourite matchbox car of all time. And I’m a Ford man🤣

The GSi and 4x4 Turbo are definite classics now. 👌

Great work!!, brillant color and amazing tires! ! 😲 👍

Very nice. That reminds me of my bicycle I had as a teenager. It was a deep blue that looked black at a distance.

That color is just right, well done.

Thanks for sharing a bit of your automotive past, Rob! Yes, I got my jabs as soon as I could. 👍

I had a Cav GSI, albeit in Matchbox form. It was my go to getaway car when staging bank jobs. I like what you’ve done here, the touring car stance is spot on.

I loved the unique look of the mk1 Cavalier which was also used on the Chevette and Forenza

Very nice work , wheels look great , paint is awesome . NICEEEEEEEE....

Beautiful job with great detail

One of my favorite castings, favorite wheels and favorite jobs you’ve done, Rob. Always a pleasure to relax to your videos. David (from Trussville, Alabama)

Very nice work, Rob. Great color choice!

Love that color. It brings me back memories when I bought my Honda CRX SI 1991 back in 2001 and I had it paint this exact color! It was midnight blue from BMW… man this car gave me tickets 😅🤦🏻‍♂️

Cool car. Like the dark blue and the stance. Looking forward to more videos

Wow amazing custom epic

Great job Rob and here in the United States the Cavalier was a Chevrolet, and the Pontiac version was a Sunfire.

wow that looks really really nice

Nice build and paint job 👍👍

Just Subbed. Greetings from A South African who's Emigrated to Scotland. 😎🇿🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😁🏁

I've been double dipped Rob so fingers crossed for the end of the C word. Great work as per usual mate. A casting I've not seen before.

Another awesome job. I have one to do so this is some inspiration. My family all have our shots.

This is very interesting... We had these in South Africa.. But they were sols as the OPEL MONZA if I am not mistaken. Which looked very much like the Lotus Carlton . Polishing up the car is always my favourite bit of clean up.. Getting it to that shiny metal finish is always so satisfying.

Very nice Vectra, great colour 😎 Not many real ones around anymore, because those cars liked to rot...

Awesome looking car 👍

Slick transformation Rob. And thanks for sharing your story on owning the car.

Wonderful job.👍🚗

It's uncanny how closely this resembles the Saab 9000 Turbo casted in 1987 which has always been my personal favorite Matchbox SINCE 1988 when I got it as an 8yo... Even the color is a close match. Cool casting, we of course didn't get that one here across the pond. Well done! I was one of the few kids who never like Hot Wheels. Matchbox or nah.

Hi Rob,nice looking car,the wheels are smart against the dark blue paintwork,I remember these back in the day.

Hope all is well Rob. Missing your videos. You do amazing work

This is my favourite custom

Love the color. Fits the body style. Car reminds me of a Saab 900 a little bit.

Miss you Rob... And the hotdog jar 😂

Spot on! It’s brilliant!

Great color!!

Great job Rob 👌

ahhhh the first restoration I ever did was this very model. My mom and dad both had cavaliers F reg red one and a L reg white one, great motors

Nice wheels. Looks a lot better now is lower. Great choice of color too

Wonderful to have one of these on a Saturday! Great job mate!

This looks great. I would totally drive this! 🙂 Yessir, I have been fully vaccinated for a while now. I am glad that you are, too!

Awesome custom!

I really like that color on it. those wheels set it off. nice job

Awesome custom.

Looks awesome rob.👍

Beautiful little car, and (almost) 100% paint removal!

Love the car, love the color! Just love the build tbh it’s different!!!

Beautiful, that color reminds me of RUSTOLEOMS Galaxy Blue, it's a color shift spray paint from blue to purple

Awesome

Man that Vauxhall Cavalier or Opel Vectra in other markets looks so good Rob! Good job Rob

Very impressive

Muy buena customizacion de este Vauxhall Cavalier, respetos desde Venezuela.💯🤜🔥🤛👍

She's a beaut all right. Wish some of the models you get in Europe were available in NA.

For a toy car, Matchbox have nailed it again with terrific accurate detail on this Cavalier. Great looking resto, just one thing missing Rob, could you have painted in the lower front fog lamps? Back in 2000, we owned a 1993 Cav GLS 2.0i in glacier white. We had it for 6 years, loved it.

Great work on this one Rob! :) And I love the wheel set you chose for it! :)

Fantastic job!! Amazing work!! The only Vauxhall Cavalier that exists in 1/59 scale as well. Oxford Diecast make a mk2 Cavalier in 1/76 scale which is also a really nice looking model and Herpa made the liftback version of the Cavalier and sedan/saloon in 1/87 scale. I think Gama made a Cavalier in 1/43 scale.

Looks good!!

I got this one. My reason for hanging on to it all these years is kind of silly. It always reminded me of the car that the Michael and Kimberly character are riding in when they have their car crash in the Melrose Place primetime soap opera errr..... I mean show😁

Opel Vectra of this generation is still a common car here in Serbia. Worth around 600-850€ and used by working class folks as a daily driven beater until it breaks down and fixing it costs more than it is worth.

Nice job

Looks great Rob, incidentally Nick from Nick's Toy Garage is back online and has responded to comments on his channel and will be posting again in the future as he is recording four videos at the moment.

That’s awesome

Reminds me of Westminster blue. That was sort of a purple blue when polished up I had 4 Cavaliers with my last one also an 8v diplomat in diamond black metallic. Loved that car as much as the tin rot did lol. Very rare cars nowadays (V6 diplomat is in single figures). Also assisted running a Cav mk3 website back in the day too. Never did own a red top or gsi in the end either ☹️

Love the colour Rob. Shame about that one wee flake of paint.😁

My 1991 Ford Taurus station wagon is like that. From a distance it looks dark gray. Once you get up close, you’ll see it’s a bluish gray

Nice outcome Rob. Nice colour. I'm fully vaccinated with AZ since June. I hope you can me and a few other builders in December for an Ashes build off England v Australia. Any car any size Cheers Michael

I own a Chevrolet Monza 1986 S/R 2 door hatchback, which is the equivalent of Vauxhall's Cavalier from 1986. Only in Brazil we had the 2 door hatchback body option...

Wuaooo very nice good. 👍

kind of midnite blue. Brilliant colour. Getting 2nd jab next week. South Aus is behind as usual.

Sharp!

11:02 that little moth must have been as high as a kite after that spraying down

They stopped building Cavaliers in late 95. I loved them. Hated the Vectra replacement.

Thumbs up 👍

Paid 200 quid for my Chavalier was so rusty that the handbreak was only attached by the carpet. Sold it for parts in the end.

We're did you go, Rob!!! I really miss your videos!!!!

awesome job rob i got both my vaccine shots

Vauxhall Calviner 2.2 SRi pick of the range

I wish they made the cav mk2 Sri, same car my dad drove through thr 90's and early 2000', had a massive catback on it was stolen several times, very big same that it most likely no longer exists

Fantastic job here.. Wow.. How did you get those lights so precise... I always struggle with them and make mine look like a 3 year old went to work on them with a crayon.

It reminds me of the cavalier you sold me once. Lol

I owned 2 cavaliers an 02 and 04 I liked the 04 because it was a manual shift I miss it. They were both white and made by Chevy.

Ah, a tale of the classic 'Boy Racer'. Tearing about, and making a racket. (Good fun, though, I'll bet). Anyone out there know which 1983 movie I borrowed those last two lines from? No primer in Poundland, again, Rob. 🤔 😆😆😆 Very tasty result there. Nice one. Have you ever thought about doing a custom, with a nice paint job, and wheels, on an older casting, like the Lesney #33 Ford Zephyr 4? I reckon that would be cool.

Quite diff. from Opel Omega. That one is Holden.

Great paint job but the tires which are beautiful are a bit oversized

ah you had one of these back in 2002? what happened to it? did you sold it? scrapped it?

Rob, are you ok buddy? Haven't seen a sign of life in a while.

Put a rear wing on it ! In that color, you made it look like a Lotus Carlton ! 🤔

😺👍

fully vaxed

Double jabbed, going for my annual flu jab in the morning.

I'm currently close of being vaccinated with the second round of astraZ. There's no third vaccine here yet.

Where have you disappeared to?

I always lube my peace before I taped that hole

C word 🤣

You sound different somehow...?🤔
