Whilst the Golf GTi stole the headlines in the 80s, the Astra delivered value top-down motoring to the masses and the GTE was the one to have
This, low mileage, 8-valve example was enjoyed by just one owner for almost 30 years before being acquired by our fastidious vendor seven years ago
He set about a sympathetic restoration, including bodywork repairs, a full respray, a new hood and more
It's supplied with its original history file, the service book and even has one key to operate all doors and boot
Many GTEs fell under the spell of the light fingered brigade, this coveted car was almost certainly kept under lock and key and doesn't it show
Offered at No Reserve, these very desirable Astra soft-tops were built in smaller numbers than the Escort and Golf and are becoming hard to find
