Senator - Will forever remind me of getting stopped for speeding on the M4!
Did you get the full 7k? That is a strong price, well done!!

Room for another? I wish I hadn't rolled my MK1 Astra SRI, loved that car.
Funny how some stick in your mind, you have a chance to buy another, I wont get a chance to find a MK1 ever again |

That does look nice, but at £7k, I'm not so sure.

Agreed - almost 10 years older than a FE D2 S8, and asking for a premium over one of those. I don't think so.

Were the Mk1's not SR's as they were on carb's? had a twin choke Webber on mine. GTE's were injected 1800 units. Great fun cars. Only recently got shot of a piar of front recaro's front one.

The MK2 was an SRI and the Cavilier. MK1 Astra should go to the cool wall

That Senator, same colour as the one I had (1988). I agree, one of the best car's I've had. It's worth repeating how similar they are to the D3's. Just look at it against your signature picture
I bought a Mk 1 Astra GTE for one of our salesmen (don't ask). Strewth it flew, but you had to keep it screaming. Massive fun for sprinting about but I think not the best for distances. Both the Senator and GTE had digital dash boards which were panned in every review I saw. I liked them, they were clear and delivered what you needed to know. You could switch between MPH & KPH by holding down, I think it was, the trip reset button. Discreetly putting it into KPH was a great way of winding up unsuspecting passengers. SWMBO had a Cavalier 2.0i CD 1990. Another good car. Very comfy, cruised effortlessly @ 90 all day. And, despite what all the reviews said, It could take being chucked round the corners. A bit of a Jekyll & Hyde
