Awesome.
Could have done with spending a couple of quid redoing the drivers seat.
Interesting they've still (or never took off) have the bulkhead AND padding on the blower.
Obviously I hope he gets near his asking price!

| I'm in total agreement with these views although I do quite like Mk1/2 escorts. When you see the money the escorts makes our MK1's look way too under valued!! I've also been noticing lately that MK2 Astra's seem to be making more money than MK1's, I mean what's that all about!! |

Yeah I just bought a mk1 which needs restoration for £125 and picking up tomorrow. Which is way under valued I think it's just vauxhall name seems to have a bad name for some reason with ppl 
The value needs to go up soon

Nooo they need to keep thier low values!! Would you rather pay 30k for a mint gte becausemore people like them?? Im happy paying £6 on ebay for a nos full head gasket set!!
Who cares what the masses think? Id rather have a car that causes a bit of confusion about what it is when there are no badges on it
