I think I big reason why a lot of us wanted Oliver kept standard was because he’s not just an Opel Kadett A, he’s Oliver (he crossed the Makadikadi, and was almost drowned in a river). To change Oliver would be to lose some of that. Olivia, to put it a little harsh, is just an Opel Kadett A, so I think a rally build, or small block V8, or whatever I think should very much so be on the cards

I know that a lot of the 70s opels have had rover 3.5 v8s swapped into them since they weigh just a little bit more than the opel 4cyl CIH engines. The thing with almost every 4cyl rwd opel is that they tend to get REALLY front heavy with bigger engines (especially kadetts), so if you decide to go for a v8, I would definitely go for an aluminum block one to keep the weight down.

Richard, I am overjoyed, excited, and pleased that you found Olivia ...Oliver's Girlfriend... As a Rally Driver, a Rally Car Kadett would be awesome. I agree on the Pale Polar Blue, a Porsche Horizon or Meissen Blue would even look great... If you do retrofit a small block, be sure to keep it light. A V8 equivalent to the Opel's engine is the 215 Rover 3.5 L OHV V8... The LT2 or LS1 Corvette, the 283 and Ford 289... As for exotics the Opel 3000 RWD 3.6 liter I-6 might be easier to retrofit than a newer FWD Opel version... The Jaguar Daimler AJ26 4.0 SC V8, and the Jaguar XJ6 AJ16 4.0 liter I-6 is another idea... Make sure you keep its stock engine preserved in storage... I love watching Your videos...Richard in all that you say, think and do, You are the UK equivalent to My Norwegian Father and I admire You very much... Michael of Tulsa .. Much Love 😁👍💯🇬🇧🇳🇴🤗💜💜💜

Return it to its original blue colour, it would probably go much better with Oliver's colour. I think it would be a brilliant base for a period correct little rally car. Or at least something inspired by '60s rally cars. Personally I'd keep the engine from the Opel family. I'm sure there has to be a 1.9 litre Opel cam-in-head engine sitting around somewhere that can be tuned for rally. Used to be common on Opels and Vauxhalls, of course. It was even used on the 2nd series Opel Kadett Rallye Sprint of the late '60s. So a bit after Olivia's time, but still of the era.

Years ago, at an Opel press event, I had the opportunity to drive Kadetts A, B and C all back to back. I grew up with these things all around me, but I'd never driven one. Let's just say that despite the C-model being a fastback GT/E, I enjoyed the cheap-and-cheerful A-model the most. All of them were in prime condition but still quite horrible to drive, TBH. But the A-model in particular really put a smile on my face due to its personality. I totally understand why RH named his "Oliver" - it's such a fitting name for that car. Another thing I remember from that day is how these cars reminded me how restrictive the view out of modern cars is compared to these old girls from the 50s, 60s and 70s. We were there to drive the then current Astra OPC/VXR and that car felt like you were driving around almost blind when compared to the old models.

I made up a story for this car. Keep it Red (or different shade). I was thinking She would be called Spicy Olivia. Small block chev could be nice...or you can find something small and feisty to match that. Keeping two of the same standard cars is nice, But since you have another, maybe give an interesting character. I would normally keep it original, but because you have a second one, it should be done different from the Norm. Olivers spicy GF was my Narrative :P

Build Olivia to suit your needs, at the end of the day she looks like just as much of a keeper as Oliver so build what makes you happy

What ever you do end up doing, make the door tops match the roof colour so they don't look so out of place. ...and then send it to me as I've always loved them!

Keep it red it’s part of her story and the big block v8 sounds like a great idea. Oliver has sentimental value but Olivia should get everything you couldn’t bring yourself to do to Oliver

Back to original colour but some sympathetic engine mods and upgrades. What a peach !👌

Only thing I'd suggest is paint the tops of those doors to match the roof. Having the upper part of the door red just makes the doors look mismatched.

As much as I love a "lady in red" I think the soft blue would look amazing next to Oliver's pastel yellow. I also think the smallblock v8 would work in Olivia, Oliver deserves a peppy little girlfriend.

The red looks really good. The blue would also look good. I'm not sure I'd V8 swap it. It's too original. Maybe find a shell to V8 swap and then have Oliver, Olivia, and the Monster.
