Armchair Tourism, Part 6

A few posts back, I included a street view shot of a Ford Cortina, and stated that I would continue looking through England in hopes of finding a Vauxhall Chevette. Well, speak and I shall find.
On the left we have one,in Grantham.This looks like the high-performance version (HS),which explains why someone bothered to hold on to it. The nose has clear Opel origins and the basic shape is similar to that of its North American Chevrolet cousin of the same name.It most closely resembles the Brazilian Chevrolet Chevette,though.
UK Chevettes are more exciting finds than Cortinas because they are even rarer. As of the last quarter of 2012, only 755 were known to remain, and I don't have data for the HS edition.I was skeptical I'd find one on Google at all, but I did.Where to next?
