1967 Viva SL90 in Monaco White with power brakes.
Bought from Marmion road motors in Southsea for £300 in the seventies.
The gearbox didn`t like to go into 3rd very often as I remember.

Mine was a Red Corsa B FL 1998 1.2 16v 5 door. Bought it in 2002 with only 13k on the clock, sold it 4 years later with 56k. I absolutly loved that little car. The only problem i had in 4 years with it, was the idle air valve went kaput.

They didn't have one    throttle body does the idle control

Excuse my mistake, yes it was the throttle body electronic thingy, it stuck open when it failed, revved its little knackers off it did

My first vauxhall was a mk1 Astra 1.3 sr I think in copper metallic and as mentioned before yes it went like stink but smoked like a smoky thing lol to the point that if you floored it the road and everyone behind you dissapered even Q would have been proud of that lol I finally died when it started to make a ticking noise not very loud by noticeable so my mate had his head under the front as I blipped the throttle and it went bang big time he lost his eye brows and singed most of his head when we looked we found a big hole in the block and number 3 piston upside down in the sump strangely enough we rocked it back and forth in top and it in sezied and it started up on the key lol
