Looks like it is in good shape and very rare over there! Is it a driver?

Hey, you can always tell her she can drive it!!

The car has done 35,000 miles only but is Left Hand Drive so would need a special exemption to be street driven here - have to check if it has one of those. There my well be no other 1967 Kadett Rallye here, certainly less than half-a-dozen in the whole country.

You think I have not (desperately!) used the old "You can drive it, Dear!" ploy??

GtJim, a buddy of mine had one many years ago. I saw the B&W pictures the other day. He told me he had the original owners manual and related stuff. If you get it, I'll see if he will part with them. I also saw a rust bucket of the same version, a few weeks ago about 2 miles from me. Windshield etc, in good shape. Interior gone. Jarrell

Finally got to see the Kadett Rallye - the owner has to move it from the shed it is stored in and is now "talking turkey" and I have made him an offer!
It is definately a 1967 1.1SR propper Rallye Kadett.

Here are another couple of pics with the engine number.

That looks to be in very great condition. I hope you get it and wish you luck.
