That's a rare thing, from the period of about three months (I'm not joking) when the base was upgraded to body colour grille but still didn't have the side rubbing strips that were added for the 1984 model year.

The wheel trims don't belong.  Otherwise looks standard, complete with radio blanking plate and no head restraints. 

Possibly the earliest surviving base estate, I'm not aware of any grey grille estates.

I painted my Dad's grill on his base Y reg 1.6 estate beige, to almost match the beige car.  I found him some beige carpet to fit the boot, and he fitted the cheapest mono radio he could find, with two speakers in the boot lid and a single headphone jack on a cable coming out into the rear seat. 

Weirdly, despite being very base, and very beige the factory had fitted a GL badge on the boot.

Perfect for a TS200 convertion then.

Almost identical to the 1.4 saloon I wrote off in 2002. (The first of 3 Astra mk3s I've written off)

An AEC that asked for “just a little off the top” seems like a bargain, I’m extremely tempted myself but I want to hold out for a National

Shame it's not a V6. I think these could be had with the 3.0 and manual in Germany, unfortunately only in the pre-facelift. Somewhat tempted by these.

Broken 4x4 Octavia.

The cam belt snapped and went into the timing belt. I was in a traffic jam when the belt snapped meaning it be easily fixed with the right person.

Aye, 'course it will M8.

How come you never see an advert saying "the timing belt snapped at 7,000rpm while I was caning it past a tractor so the engine is totally fucking fucked mate big time"?

I happily admit that the crankshaft in my 2cv snapped as I was overtaking a triumph spitfire on the a55 at rhuallt hill in 1994.

Is this the daftest speedometer ever?  260 MPH clock in a Cadillac suv? These max-out at less than half that.  I measure 55º between 0 and 70 mph! Be better with a '70s 55 mph speedo...

Still fancy it as my dual purpose daily however: (daily = collecting firewood  and family airport runs)

That's strange, the EU spec ones go till 260 as well. In kms...

[grogee]

Shirley there's a menu option to switch between mph and kmh for when you cross the border between USA/Canada or UK/EU? 

Nearly a good idea but I agree, total shit to have a 260mph speedo in anything this side of a Jaguar XJ220

[wuvvum]

There is indeed a button to switch between mph and km/h on Cadillacs.  They use the same dial for both, just the needle doesn't go round as far when it's reading in mph.
