Not sure about the wheels on that one. I don't know if they're standard on an Opel GSI but they look odd to me.

They're off an earlier Opel Kadett innit. Not sure how the rwd/fwd offset thing works but I don't think they look terrible45878647522_391f654d7b_b.thumb.jpg.a1f3e92d245c36ededa7b8bb91639a73.jpg

Most probably off a Mk1 Cavalier Coupe or Gl spec saloon.  The offset is totally wrong, I can remember a Vauxhall bullitin back in the day warning of the dangers of putting rwd spec wheels on to Astras Cavaliers and Novas because of differences.

Offset does look a bit low for that Astra. Hardly dangerous though.

I had no idea that these existed in estate flavour. That is fantastic. They are such good looking cars. 

Yeah but that one had a fair bit of welding not long ago.

I reckon if it could be had for £500 it would make a great purchase, even if you only got a year out of it. The V6 is surely a lovely lump. Most sold here in Oirland were two liter 4-bangers.

Depends how well it was repaired I guess. I always remember seeing one scrapped because of rusty strut tops over 10 years ago. I really like them but seems they weren't really built to last.

I had an 'R' reg when it was about 5 years old, I bought it from my dad who owned it from new. Almost the same as the one in the ad, with the addition of heated beige electric leather seats/interior. It wasn't mega fast and it would never better 30mpg but it was mega reliable and an effortless long distance car. The load space was a good size too, unlike many modern 'estates'. I sold it on eBay for much more than I thought it would go for, an Asian guy came to collect it with a relative and they ended up arguing in the street over who was going to have it.

TL;DR. I had one, it was ace.

As a younger bloke, I offered up a set of RWD Cavalier 1 Rostyles to my FWD Cavalier 2. The Mk 1 had bolts protruding from the hub that you hung the wheel on, and it fastened in place with nuts. The Mk 2 located on a centre spigot thing and you bolted it in place. Even to my untrained eye, it looked a dodgy swap, so I didn't.

you mean, scrap the engine then give the rest of the bus to @Yoss who im sure has an AEC AV590 or 2 lying around from previous Routemaster ownership right? :mrgreen:

sadly in the 1990s pretty much every RML  (apart from RML903 (the last of the 24 Prototype RMLs) RML900 (one involved in an accident written off by LT but bought by clydeside scottish and put back on the road) and RML2760 the last Routemaster off the production line)

was "refurbished" with new Cummins and Iveco engines along with new interior seat fabric and lighting (most curiously American T12 single pin slimline tube fixtures, I still wonder how they especially individual enthusiasts/owners get tubes for those fixtures!)

so most RMLs no longer have their original AEC AV590 engines, unless refitted in preservation

(I always thought it would be fun to "build" an RML with a High speed diff and an AV690 engine for a high speed RML, a bit like an RCL but open back platform and city appearance still)

also that number plate is spectacular, where's the shite number plate thread when you need it! never seen a number "plate' peel before LOL

Definitely, if you really feel the need to replace a superb AEC Diesel engine that did the job for decades with some work of the devil Italian crap...
