You are bidding on Opel Astra 1.8 sxi track car

 

Its often the case I find that when a car has had a load of really shit mods done that tip it over a line such that there's no longer any realistic chance of finding anyone who would be able to tolerate driving it to work, it miraculously becomes a 'track car'. Can you imagine turning up at a track day in this risible shitheap. "yeah LED doorhandles you know"

that mustang will have the lima 2.3 ohc 4 cyl (nothing shared with the uk ohc)  be like a 1.3 capri,they'd stopped using the 3.3 s6 in the early 80's I think.

my spare 302 would go well in that.

 

only thing in its favour is the shell.

That 'C' reg 9000 is amazing. I spent far longer than is natural looking through the photos of it. Great find.

 

Can we arrange a delivery of booze to Wuvvum's on Saturday for when the sale is ending? Just to make sure.

When I were a lad I used to work in Currys on the weekends on a nearby retail park. One of the salesman from the MFI next door used to have a dark blue one of these and would blat past me every night while I was walking home in the rain getting piss wet through. I thought these looked brilliant then, and they have improved with age.

 

And where are MFI now? You had the last laugh there alright.

 

219k and two months' MoT, a bit optimistic at £995?

I'd dearly love a Mk1, here's an early G-reg one. Eyewatering amount of money spent by the previous owner though, £14.5k since 2006! And still it's got the back wheels on the wrong way round.....

due to some bafoon of a mechanic it went it for an mot in august , they ran it out of petrol and then additionally  i had to order another fuel pump !! , after eventually getting the car back i went for a spin and the fuel pipe blew off the engine and luckily i was near an industrial estate where also luckily 2 guys saw the smoke and ran out and kept the damage down with fire extinguishers !! . The damage though had been done and even worse my insurance company wouldn't pay up as its over 30 years old , The garage responsible took it back and took the engine out and replaced the harness , unfortunately they don't know how to connect the wires back up , after much arguing and months of heartache i have decided to cut my losses and move on and sell her .

I was walking home past the Suzuka* GP circuit earlier and spotted this track day car. Sadly I cannot confirm about the LED door handles Reg Bolleaux. I wanted a head on but the driver was eyeballing me whilst he waited to get on track*

The wheels on that DisAstra are banded version of the steelies that lurk under the hub caps of Zafira's and the like aren't they?

Think so, was just thinking the same thing.
