I would hold out for a mini facelift, they have better headlights, Bose stereo, side airbags, Irmscher front grill and rear spoiler ;)


A full facelift, with all those bits and a few more .. plus a 3.2 engine is even better .. :)

and NO, its NOT for sale ...  :)

Prices are funny like that, bear in mind the age and there really is no "Book price", these cars are worth what you are prepared to pay.  ::)

Nige's Irmscher bumper distracts you from the Astra G styled bonnet though. I particularly like the curved swage line across preface lift cars' bonnets. :y

went and looked at the car and it was a rough one, plus there was what looked like cream cheese under the oil cap it was about 2 inches thick and coated all the pipe too! no smell of exhaust in the headder though?
they would not shift from 700 so i ran away would not have given 500!

ive upped my budget and am thinking of this

had a word with the guy and i think i could get him down to around 800!
