In 1981, Opel launched the 3rd generation Opel Ascona, which was sold as the Vauxhall Cavalier in the United Kingdom.
The Ascona C was at some point the best selling car in West Germany. It was produced until 1988 and there was no other Ascona generation after.
topThe Opel Ascona C was launched with an engine range that included 1.3- and 1.6-liter units, which produced 60 hp, 75 hp, 90 hp or 130 hp. A 1.6-liter diesel-fueled engine with 55 hp was also added.
In 1982, the Ascona C was also available with a 1.8-liter engine, producing 115 hp, and in 1987 the engine range gained 2.0-liter engines with 115 hp and 130 hp.
The Ascona C was assisted by a standard 4-speed transmission or an optional 3-speed automatic unit; a 5-speed manual transmission was fitted in one of the Ascona versions.

topThe Ascona C can be mostly seen as 2- and 4-door sedans, although there was also 5-door hatchback body version (the Ascona CC) in some markets. Some time later, a 5-door station wagon Ascona was added to the line-up.
From 1983 Opel also offers a Convertible version of the Ascona.

Opel entered the automobile business in 1899, selling Opel-Lutzmann cars, the first of them being the “Patent Motor Car”. Partnership between Opel and Lutzman was terminated in 1901 and Adam Opel’s son initiated a new contract with the French carmaker Darracq that allowed the German company to built Opel-Darracq cars. These cars received their chassis from Darracq and their bodies from Opel.
