    Not even sure the owner can make the excuse of not being an English speaker... its so appallingly bad i suspect it is indeed from one of our own homegrown morons.

    they can hide the miles quite well,years ago a garage next to mine had a super clean clipper on high miles so they ticked it back or 'seasonally adjusted it'
    they sold it and about a year later bought it back and went to re-adjust the miles to find someone had written on the back of the clocks
    'oh no not again! ' the garage had knocked off well over 100k in two sessions, no idea how many miles Mr marker pen had ticked it back

    my rusty shed sensor was tingling, only one find tho , I know these can (by mostly the mentally challenged) be priced at insane amounts
    but when it's been shortened (like it was too long before?) trust them tiny spot welds to hold? and convertible?
    just hacked of the roof and called it done ,and the crusty scabby micro skip is in Greece

    Good god, they were pretty terrible and scrabbly when they were new, let alone when they've sat rusting under their own dust for a decade Nearly three bags of sand?!

    For us older generation that Astra is far from a shed. I'd love that car on my driveway. I had one about 20 years ago & it was a lot rougher than that one.

    Maybe it's just an Essex thing but I had an XR3 over a GTE, and an XR2 over a Nova GSI/SRI and I wouldn't have had it any different. The only 'Fast' Ford I've had that I was genuinely disappointed in was an XR2i - which ironically reminded me of the GTE in terms of its dynamics.

    ahhh i see, it was the other way round for me. couldn't afford an RS turbo or R5 turbo so going for the holy grail 150bhp 2 litre was the next option. if i recall a friend even had a big old vauxhall Carlton which we all used to pile in

    I had a mk1 ashtray gte back in the day as well as all the 'hot' scrabble wagons from ford vw vaux etc,
    the most I remember about the gte was even when all in perfect condition the brakes were terrible,iirc the 16 valve had same spec brakes
    like most of them their party trick was the old reverse it up to the rev limiter and stuff it 1st and cremate one tyre

    An F-plate can't have been that early. Our kid had a brand-new C-plate GTE in that shape, I'm sure....with the graph tacho and everything.

    He eventually traded it in for an E-plate Opel Manta GTE at the same time as I got one. RWD see.

    I can imaging that digital dash must have made some impression to folk when it was new, until it stopped working 3 months later i presume.

    I was never into fast fords, vauxs or golfs ect... it wasnt till 99 when i bought by first motor (p10 eGT) so i missed all the whoohaaar over scrabbly 205s, rs turbos ect... dont see what all the fuss was about TBH

    I would have crawled over broken glass for a GTE, so close to buying one but the insurance murdered me at 18.
