I was offered one in a part exchange a few years ago but i was after a normal GTE and i don't think i could take the shame of driving about with the roof down on an ancient Astra lol

I had a GTE cab in blue.
I fitted a 16v lump leather seats and some 17's and loved it to bits.Great for summer fun and only sold it on as was offered a mrk GSi in the same blue for 1k.
