I had one of these as my first car at 18, long while ago, GVY 231S, same colour but typical red/black check seats. In fact I had a few of them. Next was a Coupe in orange then another and another. Handling and bodywork was far better than the Vauxhall equivalent IMHO.

Just seem to remember it ate points, other than that it ran like a dream.

Looks like you have a great example.thumbup

If i remember rightly, the Opel had a rear anti-roll bar, where the Chevette did not, a small thing, but thats why they handled better than the Chevette!

How much history do you have?

Is there anything from the past paperwork in the name of 'Abbiss?
