The old 1256cc engine wasn't used in the Astra. It was the 1196cc "1200S" with a mighty 59hp. Asimo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNWeigh Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 On 6/7/2023 at 2:38 PM, egg said: Would genuinely like to know how the Ascona was marketed against the Cavalier - how did it actually work? Someone here will know. The first car I drove after passing my test was an Ascona. 1.9 Berlina auto, it was a company car my Dad was using because I’d crashed his Granada 2.0 L some weeks before . From memory it was considered on a par in the company car hierarchy even though a Cavalier would have been a Cortina competitor. Asconas and Mantas were quite common as were Senators and Monzas, whereas Rekords were very rare compared to Carltons. Don’t know if there was any logic. As for Viceroys and Commodores ? No fucker bought either of ‘em, so it didn’t matter. egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
