This Opel Kadett will have spent the majority of its existence in complete anonymity, but that will be different in 2022. You hardly see the last generation of the Kadett and certainly such an inconspicuous one as this one is extremely rare.
In this section we sometimes break a lance for modestly designed cars that you once saw on every street corner. Undoubtedly there will be plenty of people who have nothing to do with it, but let’s be honest, a wonderfully bald Golf II, a snow-white BX or a super-tight Escort Mk4, aren’t those moving time capsules? This Opel Kadett from 1986 also falls into that category.
The Kadett 1.3 N LS, like this one, stood for a while as one of the cheapest Kadett offers in the Opel showroom. In addition, this example is also white, which nowadays is even a popular ‘color’ for expensive cars, but in the 80s it mainly indicated an owner who had ordered a car by hand on the cut.
Once aboard this (pre-facelift!) Kadett it’s like going 36 years back in time in one fell swoop. You will absolutely not find things like power windows, air conditioning, an adjustable steering wheel, a tachometer and even a trip meter. Even an analog clock is not present: in the central place in the center console where you would expect it in a Kadett, there is a black surface.
But hey, what’s not on it can’t break. And there is little fault with this Kadett, if we are to believe the supplier. The private seller talks about minor damage to the right door and a defective rear window heating. Furthermore, the car would technically still inspire confidence. The stated mileage of more than 158,000 km is probably not fully verifiable, because the Kadett has a five-digit counter. So pay close attention to what the condition of the steering wheel, seat upholstery and pedals tell you. It doesn’t look very tired at all.
In any case, the undersigned is very charmed by this Kadett and is convinced that more people will be. The price is also very friendly: €1,500 the seller asks for it. It has undoubtedly been cheaper once, but again; You don’t come across something like this every day!
