Much want. Low tax, 1986 rule met, C276CTC MOT history fine.

 

July 1985 saw the introduction of the last new Samba model in the UK, the Style. This was an upmarket version of the 954 cc LE. Identical mechanically, it was finished in metallic silver with attractive dark red velour upholstery, a radio, sunroof, and the chrome wheel surrounds used on the French Sympa model. Unlike the LE, it did have a heated rear window, but no rear wiper. Priced initially at �3795, this proved a popular model.

Here's a weird one. It's a mark 2 Astra from Junkmans last acceptable year of manufacture but under the bonnet we find something unexpected. Rather than the standard Family2 OHC motor, we find a pushrod 1256 from the Chevette.

I didn't know Vauxhall used this engine in these - maybe they found a load of old Chevette engines in a shed somewhere and decided to use them up in a poverty spec special? Or has some maniac decided that cambelts are "too complicated" and built it himself?

 

 

 

anal rack time

 

the engine in those Astrays is not a Viva or Chevette engine its the Opal version of the engine (totally different design if you put them side by side, (as used in the kadettes) made differently to stop cross trade of UK parts to Germany and or visa versa.....

 

Only common part in engines is the pushrods maybe valve springs and even then only for later 1256cc Viva / chevette engines, oil pumps, water-pumps, cranks, valves pistons, con-rods, bearings, camshafts, heads, gaskets, timing chain,  clutch (you get the picture) and flywheel all different.

All thats said weezy engine yes!
