Vauxhall Astra GTE 16v (Monaco Blue)
1989 Vauxhall Astra GTE 16v – Monaco Blue – Barn Find Restoration Project
C20XE Red Top | 2. 0 16v | 4 Owners | 71, 970 Miles | £7, 800
A rare chance to acquire an early 1989 Vauxhall Astra GTE 16v, finished in the sought-after Monaco Blue and powered by the iconic 2. 0 Red Top (C20XE) engine. Registered in April 1989, this 16v variant is fast becoming one of the most desirable 80s/ 90s hot hatches and is increasingly hard to find in original, untouched condition.
With only 4 owners from new and showing 71, 970 miles, this car was purchased as a barn-find project. However, a new project means this one will slip down the queue, so it’s time to let someone else restore it to its former glory.
It presents as a genuine, honest barn find, ideal for the enthusiast looking for a rewarding restoration. The car is complete and offers a solid basis for bringing a true GTE 16v back to life.
There are lots of detailed images available. 100+ available including items of the interior that is all included with the sale and of the service book history.
Viewing:
Viewings are welcome by appointment in Sittingbourne, Kent.
Delivery:
Nationwide delivery can be arranged at the buyer’s cost, once the car has been viewed in person and a price/ sale has been agreed.
A fantastic opportunity to save a fast-disappearing GTE 16v. Serious enquiries only, please. The history of the Astra GTE 16v centres on its role as a high-performance version of the Mk2 Vauxhall Astra, launched in the late 1980s as the successor to the 8-valve GTE. It was a British-market adaptation of the Opel Kadett E GSi, distinguished by its powerful 16-valve, 2. 0-liter "Redtop" engine, which delivered significantly more performance than its 8-valve predecessor. This model is celebrated as a classic hot hatch for its potent engine, sharp handling, and stylish, angular design
