Vauxhall Astra MkII Steel Grey

Vauxhall Astra MkII Steel Grey

This hot little three-door hatchback took the pubic by storm when it was introduced in the 1980s. Underneath the bonnet was a 124 bhp, 2.0 litre engine and the car came with an all electronic dash with digital speedometer. Another first for Vauxhall was their introduction of ‘colour coding’ with body trim that matched the base colour of the car.

Our model is registered G682 AWK from 1990 and is decorated in a deep grey with the same colour trim, just like the original. The roof also features a sunroof. The window trim, rear panel and narrow radiator grille are finished in black while inside, the seating is a paler grey with other fittings in black.

It was a very stylish little car with plenty of OOMPH, even by today’s standards.
