For Sale 1998 Vauxhall Astra Mk3 1.6i Convertible - £180 - Brighton

[Hertz]

More clues, we are struggling here. That seat does look very Vauxhall ish but I can't be sure.

[John F]

IIRC the Probe was only available in 2.0 and 2.5...

[oldcars]

Are they not mk4 Golf seats? That or a Passat of the same era?

[garycox]

A Probe would be much more interesting.

 

I have still not arrived.

[garycox]

Are they not mk4 Golf seats? That or a Passat of the same era?

Correct, they are not.

[bramz7]

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.

[Mr Bump]

I recognise Astra Mk4 seats. Possibly a Sport.

[Dirk Diggler]

I saw this earlier and said Astra mk4

[John F]

 Yeah, they look like Vaux to me too... could be a Corsa B I suppose.

[HillmanImp]

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.

[Mr Bump]

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.

[Hertz]

MK4 Astra Saloon then?

 

[Arthur Foxhake]

Mazda 323?

... until now, maybe?

[RobT]

You there yet?

[HMC]

Fiat marea weekend?

[bramz7]

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check out my stats, but the August 1998 issue of Car doesn't have my car in the list of "every new car" as it'd already been replaced by its successor...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. 

[garycox]

I ARRIVED!!!

 

[bramz7]

Astra Cabriolet?!!

[garycox]

IS IT SUMMER YET?

 

[RoadworkUK]

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.

[timolloyd]

These are pretty neat I reckon. Hood stows right away I think for a nice flat deck. Hope you're driving all the way home topless!

[hairnet]

way better than a scrote cabrio

 

id say well done

[RobT]

I was expecting something slightly fucked, but that looks mintola. Worth the journey I'd say.

[Jim Bell]

Gary.

 

Come here.

 

I just want to tell you something......

 

 

You're an angel that brings lightness to the gloom and we all appreciate you and wish we were more like you.

 

Theres a seat for you at the top table when Dollywobbler FINALLY marries 320touring.

 

*slow hand clap starts*

HOME

 

16hr round trip for an Astra.

 

Sixteen hours.

 

Was it worth it? Unsure yet, but it seems alright actually. I'll have a proper look tomorrow.

[garycox]

I've just realised that it was actually 17 hours.

[John F]

Brave.

 

On every level.

 

Good darts...!
