The handling is spot on, it goes like stink with R1 carbs,the only problem is the driver having a red mist like moment now and again. The body work at the moment is good, but soon can be rearranged whn the armco barrier looms!!!Jun 01, 2009

The Vauxhall Astra GTE was launched back in 1983 and was a legendary piece of kit, knocking the Golf GTi right off the number one slot and winning all sorts of motorsport events especially WRC
Various models were available but key players were the Astra GTE 2.0 8V 115 BHP, also available in convertible, and the beastly 2.0 16v 150 BHP red top monster.
There were some early models with 1.8 litre engines but to be honest these are not worth mentioning
The was also a very limited “Champion” edition which was the only GTE to come with leather seats as standard
Handling is a bit iffy but can be easily sorted out with some up-rated suspension. Unfortunately time has not been kind to these cars some examples getting on for 25 years old so watch out for rust especially around the rear arches.

Renowned for being driven at warp 5 by British Gas and the like the MK2 Astravan got a name for itself, but sadly because of this heritage very few survive. I'm fortunate enough to own this piece of 80's heaven.
