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"

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*
