Opel Kadett 1.6 GL with only 36,000 kilometres
The Opel Kadett 1.6 GL from 1988. Take a good look. This is not a Kadett you see every day. Coming from its second family owner, fully documented with invoices and service booklets, and with only 36,000 verifiable kilometres. Yes, thirty-six thousand. A car so original, you might wonder if it has ever seen rain.

The condition of this example is truly exceptional. The paintwork, the interior, the engine bay – everything looks stunning. Under the bonnet, you’ll even find preventive ML preservation to protect it from corrosion. The result? A Kadett that looks today just as fresh as when it left the showroom in 1988.

Car of the Year 1985
The Opel Kadett E was introduced in 1984 as the sixth generation of the legendary Kadett series and was soon crowned European Car of the Year 1985. And rightly so. Designed by Gordon M. Brown, the Kadett E represented efficiency and modern aerodynamics at their finest, with its distinctive teardrop shape and remarkably low drag coefficient of 0.32 – one of the best figures in its class at the time.

In every respect, the Kadett was a child of the 1980s: practical, economical, yet with a touch of flair. The 1.6 GL was the comfortable, well-equipped version – the car of the young professional or the proud family eager to move forward. And how well it drove: the 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine ran smoothly, the gearbox shifted like butter, and the chassis offered exactly the balance between comfort and stability that Opel was praised for in those days.

A family heirloom on wheels
This particular example has been cherished like a family treasure. The previous owner kept it as if it were a cherished memory – always stored indoors, serviced annually, and carefully maintained by specialists. No rust, no damage, no signs of wear.

Step inside, and you’re transported straight back to 1988: the clean lines of the dashboard, the original upholstery, even the scent feels authentic. It’s a time capsule reminding you of an era when simplicity still meant quality.

Today, the Opel Kadett 1.6 GL is rarer than ever. Not because few were built – quite the opposite – but because so few remain in this condition. And that is what makes this car truly special.

An icon of reliability
The Kadett 1.6 GL proves that emotion isn’t reserved for sports cars. It’s a car with a heart, a story, and a soul – a car that turns the ordinary into something remarkable.
