£3750
300BHP
do i really need it as well as my nova and the evo 6
however and you should only really have 1 woman at a time but theres no fair rule about how many cars one can have
I know that car...
If it was white I would have said 100% yes mate.

I like it, if you can afford it without any problems, and have somewhere to keep it then id get it.
propably a load of fun to drive.
It was a nice car years ago... unsure on current condition though. However if your interested in one there was a stunning 30k green one on mig and ebay for sale a few months back. It runs a let and I had a good look round it at billing and that is mint. Think he was after 5k though Iirc.
Nick.
have a very, very, very good look under the carpet near the pedals. poke through the sound deadining if needed.
the rot from the inside there, and if that's rotten... you'll snap the full suspension triangle off when boosting.. it's 3 layers there, floor, chassis leg, and underside car, it's a difficult place to fix.

The green one Nick is on about is a mate of mine. I promise you, you will NEVER find another Astra in this condition. Well worth £5k
If i had the money, it would be parked outside my house.
The Blue one is a lad called Lee, it is also a lovely motor.
Charge cooler iirc.

I nearly bought that after my red nova sold, I absolutely loved the overall look of that car. Just couldnt be without a nova and only had cash for one!
The green astra was uber tempting though! :)

I only have a few pics of it.
The Snotter had a feature in Retro Rides mag last year.
It was RR last weekend at 216.8 Bhp. Standard everything, so it is quite healthy.

YMH was Lee's previous Mk1. It was a bit rotten.
So thats why he did Wux y. Very similar cars.

buy it its a lovely looking car and well worth it as you may just put a turbo in what you get any way as most people so they will not and then do.
