Was the Estate actually sold in Germany? Or is it a visitor? (The Chevette hatch was sold briefly in D as a budget hatch, but I think that was the only variant offered - :hello: ingo).

At the moment we only have 3 Chevette Estates, but ironically none are in UK settings.

In 1985, there were still 3 military sectors (British, American and French) in Berlin, so this car might belongs to a British resident?

I cannot found the pics right now, but last year I've photographed a Chevette on a classic car meeting (a typical grandmother-cars with very low mileage - but rescued from the junkyard), where the owner has placed a sheet with the history of this car and about the appearence of this model in Germany, too. There was written, that the Hatchback and the Estate were officially sold here, maybe the Sedan even, too. According Wiki it was sold here, too: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vauxhall_Chevette
It was meant as a cheap substitute for a short time (Oct 1980 to Apr 1982) for the basic Kadett C before the Corsa A came.

When Open stopped making the Opel Kadett C in 1979 , of which the chevette was the same platform, the GM T Car, their first world car. They started to import chevettes from the UK as there was still demand for the small RWD models, even though the nova (Called the corsa in germany) and astra were rolling out.

The chevette estate equivalent in Germany prior to 1980 was the Kadett C caravan .

The main differences were a choice of engines and the bodywork front of the windscreen was quite different , with the german preference for a scooped front with square headlights , as opposed to the chevettes drop snoot.

1981-82 in Germany. Apparently just called Chevette, wagon called Kombi in L trim only.
