Light problem 6 - Opel Ascona, Vauxhall cavalier and a myriad others!

DeAutogids.nl · June 09, 2010, 07:35:40 AM

Gee, that Ascona convertible was popular.

"American Sunroof Corporation" made a prototyp for Opel. One could consider that a brand as well.
"Tropic" from Crailsheim made 2 prototypes, before going bankrupt.
"Hy-Tech", a company started by the same founder as Tropic made at least one other prototyp and maybe a handfull of actual production cars.
Jankel also made a convertible, for Vauxhall.
Envemo apparently made some 10 convertibles in Uruguay
Sulam of Brazil did the same apparently.

By the way, was the Opel Monza mentioned?

The opel monza uses a different tail lamp.

As to the ascona / cavalier convertibles I am going to discount them as they are a variant of the saloon which already has points awarded for it.

Otherwise I could post a mini tail lamp and give a point for the austin, morris, radford etc as they are all slightly different cars.

The others I will sort points for once I get proof of the Birchall so I can close this one off.

OK, I am closing this one off for now...

Points have been awarded for all cars with proof attached (excluding the 20 names convertible!).

The only one I am waiting for proof on is the McCoy but having spoken with Djetset today he is going to find the proof later on - when he finds it I will add additional points as required.

guido66 · July 08, 2010, 05:37:23 PM

)

gilescooperuk · July 15, 2010, 11:56:57 AM

Another point for guido66 then...

guido66 · September 21, 2010, 05:14:23 PM

I just stumbled upon another one

Silver Hawk kitcar from Sweden

gilescooperuk · September 22, 2010, 01:22:57 AM

another point for you then...

Since this evening I know the Hugenholtz Delfino also had these lights. Proof will be found later on in the Hugenholtz Delfino topic.

Another use of GM Ascona C/Vectra tail lights: the Sbarro Super Eight, a larger brother to the Super Five already mentioned.

gilescooperuk · August 04, 2011, 05:36:11 PM

Go on then - have another point...

Djetset · August 05, 2011, 02:11:47 AM

Gosh, thanks Giles.

a picture of the RV nemesis from the back...

gilescooperuk · August 11, 2011, 05:44:10 PM

Point awarded - I'm surprised nobody came up with that one before seeing as how many kit car people we have on here....

DeAutogids · August 12, 2011, 04:35:35 AM

Delfino

gilescooperuk · August 12, 2011, 02:38:33 PM

Another point for DeAutogids - that is the ugliest car yet found sporting those lights....

DeAutogids · August 22, 2011, 11:17:32 AM

Cirrus, picture from right here: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=5006.0
Not sure though

Wendax · August 22, 2011, 11:41:47 AM

It looks like Opel Monza / Senator rear lights to me:

Djetset · August 22, 2011, 12:02:45 PM

No, the Cirrus Gold definitely used Opel Senator/Monza rear lights, not Ascona C.

DeAutogids · August 22, 2011, 01:02:31 PM

No problem

Wendax · August 23, 2011, 09:36:44 AM

Found this one by chance: an Opel Kadett E, modified by "RS9 design". Nice one, isn't it?

DeAutogids · August 23, 2011, 09:45:55 AM

I first thought it was an Escort (the rear view). Pig ugly.
