For sale – Vauxhall Astra GTE 16v Track Car
This GTE was built by a wealthy gentleman as part of his collection back in 2007 for we think rallying or rallycross, maybe even sprints and hill climbs. The shell was strengthened and seem welded and wider steel arches fitted along with a roll cage. And engine was also built at the same time alongside a decent handling package. The red top engine has only done around 800miles since it was built and run in, it runs very well.
Since the car was built it has seen a couple of trackdays and then dry stored by its previous owner. To bring the car up to mechanical standard we have had a fresh clutch kit put in, new cambelt and water pump, Fresh gearbox oil, Engine oil and filter, new track rod ends, new adjustable front top mounts, inner and outer CV boots, coolant change, fresh Federal RSR Semi Slicks and a new MOT.
This would make an excellent retro road legal track car ,or with a few updates to safety would be eligible in rallying, rallycross and various saloon and hot hatch series in the UK and Europe.
