Went down to Enfield today to pick up the Astra CDi I’d won on ebay. Met Tim the guy selling the car on behalf of the owner, an 89 year old lady who had owned the car from new. I was a little worried about the description not being accurate but once we had checked it out there was very little to complain about. The car is standard in everyway and looks like it’s just left the showroom. The interior is unmarked with firm seats that still have their original feel. The switches and wiper motors all work like new as does all the other electronics. We went over every inch of the car to check for rust and only found two small patches on the rear arches that a good strip back, prep and paint will fix. The inner arches are like new as is the engine bay. Every hinge has been greased, which looks a little unsightly but provides excellent protection. The doors are all solid and clean as is the bonnet and hatch. I’ve taken some pics but as it was quite overcast today they don’t really show it very well.
The seller also had a nice motor stashed in his garage that he brought out to show us.
Now for some pics!
The engine bay has been 'treated' with the wax gun so has a slightly yellow tint. However looking past this all the components look like new.
Originall radio (has a working electric ariel too!)
genuine milliage as backed up by the service history and MOT's
Then we spotted this beast! He's just had 6 grands woth of engine recon done with a few tweaks! Should go well lol.
Back homw with the other one
Short term plans are to sort the arches and wax oild everything and give it a wash and polish.
