That Kadett of mine was mint. I guess that photo was taken in 1987/1988. So it wasn't that old. I sold it in 1989 and got £800 for it. I had a 2.0 Capri after that (mk2)
I had a lot of fun in that Opel. A lot.

I did look it up on the DVLA computer site once but it was last taxed something like 1992.
Shame as it was proper mint when I sold it, no rust no faults, lowish miles, FSH, ran like a dream.

I`ve heard the Mk1 Astra van is extremely rare now too. You`ve got a fantastic collection of cars there, it`s hard to decide which I like best! It`s rare to see even one decent Mk1 Astra on the road now and your`s are all lovely.

sell the vectra not the astra's you know it makes sence lol i have 4 of those but they pay my mortgage etc i.e they are taxi`s so i`ve gotta keep them plus i don`t garage them so not in the way stopping a restoration from happening i`ll be happy with the rally gte once all restored then i`ll build myself something fun to play with when that`s finished as i`m not likely to give that much use other than shows etc ;D  |

It`s rare to see even one decent Mk1 Astra on the road now and your`s are all lovely. thankyou but photos can be decieving ;D the kadett is super mint deffo and one of a kind in mk1 terms for being completely rot free the van well it`s solid and a perfect base project having only ever had one small patch of welding to the floor under the seat just to strengthen it the rest is original including all panels but really could do with a full respray to make it really nice as it`s been sign written in the past and sprayed over those areas but it`s still shows through if you get my drift but all road legal and useable and only a couple of dents so not bad at all for a 22 year old work horse the rally car is complete and has been in storage since it`s last mot last year having only driven from london to scotland in june 2005 and hasn`t been back out the garage since but very shortly i`m going to bare shell it,paint it and rebuild it again super mint hopefully ;D |
