Was just going to say, Hi spec with vented seats and sunroof.
What's up with the Stereo? Single DIN Conversion??

Had a 9-5 Aero with 240K on the clock and still drove lovely, so should still have plenty of miles...

The Vectra is a great colour and sold by my local Vauxhall dealer when I lived in Bristol.

If you ever punt it on, let me know. Im feeling like a possible fleet change is due.

Ive had a year where many boxes have been ticked- but after daily driving both a 1929 austin 12 and a 2006 quattroporte in the same week i had a bit of a revelation. did I find, say, a 1997 astra 1.6 estate i bought off e bay for £150 in 2019 any less satisfying, or less fun, in its own way? No i did not.  

Pre covid shitein’ (no g ) copywrite @BorniteIdentity feels a long time ago- for under £500 you could be road legal and having fun. But i feel used values of bangers have settled a bit. After selling on the QP and the 12 putting the money into an isa i rediscovered my love of bangers. 

Some Rovers happened- as did a brace of allegros. One has passed to a new shiter, and ive sold the MGTF.

In a bit of a shitein’ heavy saturday I rejigged the fleet in favour of shite- not classics or new stuff- just a few proper old bangers- stuff thats plucky and not crushed yet.

PHASE 1

rover 45 to devon somerset border- 

meet with @DLR

return with vectra- to okehampton

PHASE 2

train to exeter

return to tavistock with ropey but legal saab 9-5 Aero HOT 

PHASE 3 

Bus to okehampton to collect vectra elegance

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, it has velour. It is not an elegant car, but an elegant car should come with velour.

 

And back to sit with beer to admire 2 bangers

Estates more practical, but I prefer look of Saloon.
Genuinely think the high mileage Aero I had as mentioned above was favorite.
Everything worked (Once realised the rear heated seats only have one button and auto off after 15 mins)

Was great for 2nd gear hard acceleration, and had all mod cons to make it a fantastic car

Still got an 06 plate Aero Auto, but pre silly road tax. They are great cars.
If planning on keeping for a bit, would recommend joining UK Saabs for questions/queries.

Stereo missing could be a ball ache if plaaning to go back to original as believe linked to car, so cant just buy a 2nd hand one without it being divorced from previous car, but this may all have changed, hence UK Saabs comment above.
