Opel's Vectra or Vauxhall's Cavalier GSi 2000 was a very short-lived casting in Matchbox's lineup between 1990 and 1991 only. All were painted a metallic maroon with a grey plastic interior and featured a plastic body panel insert at the rear where the registration plate would be fitted. These were ill fitted and second hand examples are often found missing this piece, perhaps contributing to its fleeting production run.

Naturally, my example is missing the rear panel. But instead of restoring this, I decided to recreate a piece of racing history. The 1992 British Touring Car Championship finale at Silverstone, where the title could have been won by any one of three drivers; John Cleland, Tim Harvey, and Will Hoy. While John Cleland and his Vauxhall Cavalier would eventually finish second overall to Harvey, how the result came about was one of the most controversial events in BTCC history. In the video, I chronicle these events with some classic footage of the race tagged alongside my custom build of Cleland's Cavalier.
