Astra GTE Values

[NickX]

Just seen the result of this recent auction:

https://auctions.wbandsons.com/auction/lot/lot-30---1991-vauxhall-astra-gte-16v/?lot=724&so=0&st=&sto=0&au=10&ef=&et=&ic=False&sd=1&pp=12&pn=3&g=1

£30k for a Mk2 Astra 16V and its not quite perfect. Do we think the values are finally catching up with the Fords from the era ?

Another good price at auction here:

Looks like the 16V is starting to get the recognition it deserves

Another 16V coming up for auction next week, will be interesting to see what it fetches:

Astra 16V prices do appear to be on the rise:

and

They were about £13k brand new back in the day, interesting that really good examples are now worth about twice that.

Looking at the pictures I think that is quite strong money for a tired example.

The GTE 16v in the original post of this thread is now on the market again and is priced quite a bit lower than the auction result:

Another 16v GTE is coming up for auction in a couple of weeks:

There is also a 16v currently proving popular in this online auction:

Will be interesting to see where these end up at price wise. In the current economic climate its still very much a buyers market, so if you have the cash its a good opportunity to bag a bargain.

Saw this myself - hadn't seen the auction result from 2023 though, quite interesting.

Can't see MK2 GTE prices going as high or higher than the £30k or so that one sold for then, but what do I know.

[DarrenH]

bangers and cash restored 8v the hammer fell at 15k. (old news but this thread is useful )

[Ricky352]

There was a write up in Classic Cars magazine August 2024 issue for white GTE 16v, 58k, no service history, no paperwork to back up mileage and incorrect colour of wheel centre caps, but was described as a well maintained car. Was for sale with Craner Classics for £19,995.

EDIT: It sold at auction in June 2024 for 16k - 1991 VAUXHALL ASTRA GTE 16V | Sat 22nd & Sun 23rd June | Anglia Car Auctions

Opps, this one is advertised as a 16v but this doesn't appear to be the case from looking at the pictures:
