1984 Mk1 Astra GTE

[Mark1GTE]

This is one of my Mk1 Astra GTE's, I bought this car last year and put it back on the road in October after some recommissioning work as it had been off the road in storage for nearly two decades

For the past year I have showed it at many events and won several awards along the way

Love it, haven't seen one in ages till last week I saw what looked like a barn find red one on the back of a low loader. Looks great in white

A rare old beast these days. I seem to remember reading about this one in a magazine sometime back(?) Very nice...especially with the 80s graphics on the sides!

Yeah great. Good pics. There's a nice Manta in there too.

Gorgeous. Crazy that's it's still on original panels as well!

Thank you

The car was in Retro Cars magazine in April this year, is this the one you are thinking of or one much older that I may not know about?

[Mark1GTE]

Thanks for the comments folks it is nice to know some others like the old girl also

Nice car... can't remember the last time I saw one out and about on the road although there were a few on the show field at Retrorides gathering a couple of weeks ago

Yeah, I think it was Retro Cars. Shame there are so few of the Mk1 GTE's around these days. All things considered, they were a great alternative to a lot of the Hot Hatches available back in the day. Continue to look after it

I displayed the car all weekend at the www.manchesterclassiccarshow.com/ it seemed popular with many visitors to the show

[stefan1971]
