‘Red Top’ 2. 0l 16v Engine
Original Condition
Sunroof
APPEAL
The Vauxhall Astra has been the company’s staple car for so long its hard to recall the days before they arrived. They came in wide range of models and they seemingly had something for nearly everyone which is why it proved such a hit, especially in the hugely competitive hot hatch market.
This model with the ‘red top’ engine is probably the most sought after. With its 2. 0 litre 16v engine delivering 148bhp through its 5-speed gearbox, it’ll achieve 0-62mph in 8 seconds and has a top speed of 137mph.
It’s a rare sight these days too. A quick look at howmanyleft. com reveals there are just 82 on UK roads today (with 554 SORN).

SUMMARY
With very few left on the roads, this represents a great opportunity to grab one that, with a little bit of attention, could look fantastic. Many of the usual bodywork problems that these are prone to have been addressed, so with a little detailing and tidying up inside, this car could look fantastic, and will no doubt put a smile on its next owners face.
I do believe this is one of the finest left available on the rd today .
The brakes squeak slightly as the car has not been used .
