Hertz Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 More clues, we are struggling here. That seat does look very Vauxhall ish but I can't be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John F Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 IIRC the Probe was only available in 2.0 and 2.5... xtriple 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcars Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Are they not mk4 Golf seats? That or a Passat of the same era? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycox Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 A Probe would be much more interesting. I have still not arrived. Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bramz7 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 So it's pre 98, available in more than one bodystyle, and has a 1.6 petrol engine. Not a clue, those seats have thrown me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bump Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I recognise Astra Mk4 seats. Possibly a Sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John F Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Yeah, they look like Vaux to me too... could be a Corsa B I suppose. HillmanImp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillmanImp Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 could be a Corsa B I suppose.I know we are known to go out of our way to get unusual and unloved cars but not even anyone on here would travel that far in a peasant wagon for one of those. egg, Fabergé Greggs and John F 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bump Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Mr Google has just rung me to tell me not a sport as the sport had the extending bit at the front. I forgot my wife had one once and advised me she had broken the seat when she found the extender. Extender being a technical term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bramz7 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 London achieved, food and coffee consumed. Only 5.5hrs to go (plus the return journey)... I was planning to check out my stats, but the August 1998 issue of Car doesn't have my car in the list of "every new car" as it'd already been replaced by its successor... To everyone guessing, the replacement to the car being collected was out by August 98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadworkUK Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Being that those used the Astra saloon rear lights, I like to call them Belmont Cabriolets. Just like the Mk3 Escort Cabrio was in fact the Escort three-door estate convertible. egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garycox Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 HOME 16hr round trip for an Astra. Sixteen hours. Was it worth it? Unsure yet, but it seems alright actually.
