The seller offers for sale this 1978 Opel Kadett C 1.2 S, powered by a 1.2-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a manual transmission. This example is presented as a two-door sedan in a striking period green, matched with a light-coloured interior that suits the character of the car. The exterior received new paint in June 2019, and the car is accompanied by a complete documentation file. It holds historic vehicle status and comes with a valid inspection, making it a well-documented example of one of Opel’s most popular compact models of the 1970s.

The Kadett C was introduced in 1973 as Opel’s version of General Motors’ global T-platform, and it remained in production until 1979. It was offered in a wide range of body styles, from sedans and estates to the sporty coupé, and it became one of Opel’s best-selling models of the decade.

With its rear-wheel-drive layout, low weight and simple, robust mechanicals, the Kadett C offers an engaging and accessible classic driving experience. The 1.2 S engine, with its 1196 cc capacity and four cylinders, is known for its reliability and ease of maintenance, and parts availability remains good. Clean, well-kept examples of the Kadett C have become increasingly hard to find, which makes this documented car in good condition an appealing proposition for collectors and enthusiasts of 1970s European classics alike.
