Hi guys n gals,
The time has come for me to sell the SR. It's been fun but the wife has just taken delivery of a new Audi A3 S-line black edition and I've been given the Kia Sorento for by photography business. With the Puntova project in the garage I cant justify the SR anymore and she's now up for sale.
:cry:
Details.
Original E reg (1988) 1.3SR in glacier white. One of only 250 odd left on the roads in the UK. One of the cover cars on the 100th edition of Total Vauxhall magazine in 2009.

Engine/exhaust.
Standard 1.3SR engine fitted with Weber 32/34 dmtl manual choke carb. (Carb fitted by PNG club members)
The current engine is a replacement 1.3SR unit fitted in April by myself and Ian (Nov4sport) after previous engines head went. The replacement had approx 39,000 miles on it (it came from France from a 1.3 GT).
The original engine can be supplied as a spare for anyone who fancies tinkering...
Stainless steel exhaust fitted with mongoose backbox. Not too loud but noticable (for the right reasons)
Brakes/suspension
Upgrated Astra ATE front brakes and calipers with Nova GTE servo/Master cylinder. (Fitted by PNG club members)
The car is lowered on 30mm springs/shocks all round (fitted by PNG club members)
Exterior/bodywork.
Glacier white with small Nova Sport decal strip on right side bonnet and grey lower panels/bumpers.
Vynil was removed on sides (due to rust and panel replacement) and replaced with paint to make the same vinyl colour effect.
Extensive body work welding done carried out with GM and patern panels on areas including upper slam panel and front light areas, rear 1/4 inner and outer arches, sections of the rear boot area and sill areas.
The car could do with a respray to balance the panels due to paint fade and some paint cracking after panel replacement - it was planned for this year but change in circumstances prevented this.
The body is very solid for age of car with minimal surface/stone chip rust in places.
Both doors and boot are solid. with very small rust spots (stone chips mainly) in places. Standard for car of this age.
the car will come with a set of very rare Nova front bumper spot lights worth £100.
Wheels
The car sits on 15" Astra Sport alloys in silver with black centre caps and wheel nut covers.
There is a 5th spare Astra sport alloy as a spare.
The car will come with a set of 5x3 spoke original Nova Alloys with centre caps (alloys need refurbishing due to paint flake).
Interior
The Interior is standard SR. Grey and Chequered "tartan" SR cloth.
Recaro front seats (usual drivers bolster rip but foam in tact) and 3/4 split seats in rear. White vinyl roof trim in tact with no damage. Trim has standard perforation holes throughout.
Grey dash and SR 3 spoke standard steering wheel
Seatbelts in the rear
Clocks standard SR fitted with Blue Led's so you can see the dials at night.
Fag lighter and clock.
Stereo.
After market stereo fitted. JVC removable face head unit with tape deck (retro!) and 12 disc cd auto changer. Will come with tape adapter allowing MP3 players to be plugged in via the tape deck (very handy!)
Standard Blaupunkt front speakers and Infinity 6x9 rear speakers in parcel shelf. Dragstar 2 chanel amp fitted to underside of parcel shelf powering the 6x9's. Wiring needs tidying up but its a good sound for the car
Images of the car can be seen in my "Ades drive" thread in my sig. I'll try and dig some additional ones out

Not so good bits.
There are only a couple that need a mention.
1. the fuel guage doesnt work. Sender unit has gone but Ive been told it can be fixed. Its the unit not the wires too. It does register when the tank gets very low
2. the ball in the fuel filler neck needs adjusting or breather pipe needs moving. Filling up with fuel takes a while due to the pump cutting off. Ball was replaced due to fuel leaking out of filler neck (no longer happens)
3. The filler neck issue has stained the area around the neck. A respray will sort this (either full or with a can of paint) Although the rear arches need properly sealing with proper paint and not rattle cans.
Good Bits.
Recently fitted with 2 new track rod ends.
Car is taxed until end Feb 2011
Car has 11 months MOT - passed without incident (August 2011).
Its very solid
It's really fun to drive!
Price - £1,000 - no offers or px so dont ask.
If intersted please email me at adrian@sinclairphotography.co.uk
I'm not on here much due to work so wont reply.
I'm selling the car complete and I want it to go to someone who will drive/restore it and not break it for parts/scrap it. It needs a bit of tidying up but it doesnt deserve breaking. I've put a lot of work in to the body which is solid and I'd rather keep it if that was its fate.
Serious interest only - no time watsers!
Those who post daft/pointless comments or watse my time will feel the ban stick! I'm too busy to have idiots hovering about.
