    Default Astra GTE - Mk2 - Anyone selling one or know of one?

    Been a childhood dream of mine, and I think I now need to fulfil it.

    I've looked at a few online over the last couple of years and anything that remotely floats my boat is way over priced or needs a complete "Car SOS" style rebuild and is just a rot box.

    I dont mind putting in some cosmetic work, but its got to be a totally standard example.

    So if anyone knows of anyone selling a Mk2 Astra GTE, please let me know.

    Im sick of looking at other peoples cars, need to have my own now.

    Thanks.

    That is an ask and a half... finding one that is in a reasonable state for sale is like finding the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow! Don't know of anyone selling one but did want to mention this...

    Good luck!

    I am fully aware, but I figured that if I start trying now, I might come across one. You live in hope I guess...

    That's correct Steve, I have what was a standard Astra mk2 GTE 16v when I bought it way back in 2004. It's since had a few tweaks here and there and is more track focused now.
    @Vaux-Man-G I'd recommend you pop over to http://www.astra-mk2.com where there is a wealth of info they also have a FB https://www.facebook.com/groups/astramk2ownersclub/ which you'll have to request access to. I've had an Astra mk2 of one form or other in my life sonce '95 and know them inside out so feel free to ask me any questions or just pop over to the club forum. I have a full build diary I've kept going for 15 years here but you'll have to register on the Astra mk2 forum to view it.

    Prices are on the up and up for the GTE with mint standard cars fetching silly four figure sums and more. I'm sure if you really want one and can get your hands dirty you'll still be paying a few £K if you wanted a 16v and not far behind that for an 8v.

    Here's my GTE getting what it loves best, a good thrashing.







    Under the hood it's not you average engine bay with an 8k rpm limited naturally aspired screamer in there.



    Plus I've kept the LCD dash as they are so amazing, with the addition of a few choice extra gauges to monitor things more closely and Corsa C ePAS just because

    Mild steel 4 branch manifold

    15” bbs ra with nankangs fitted
    Omp wooden steering wheel

    Front and rear brakes replaced last year

    Spares included in sale;
    Bonnet (blue)
    Full standard exhaust system
    40mm lowering springs
    Standard springs
