So what's special about your Corrado then? Since that was produced between '88 -'95.

imo, if you can't see the difference you don't need to know, just carry on wanking over poverty spec cars that have always been poo.
If it was a nice original GTE then i would agree its something quite cool, but a 1.6 auto  Even at 17yrs old i would of thought it was just a car.
Our local vicar has a mint condition escort xr3i and the old school caretaker has a cav 130sri. I think they are fairly decent. You really need to sort out your car morals if you are getting excited by a 1.6 auto astra, did they even make a shitter version of it?

Agree with 3cm. Just because it's old with low mileage, doesn't make it special. It's still an auto, and it's still poverty specced

Might have been more impressed if it was a GTE model. Still mighty clean for its age.

It was shit in 1990 and it's still shit now, just happens to be a clean example of a really shit car.
GTE would have been cool though

This is the ancient equivilent of a poverty spec ford focus. Basically, not worth bothering with.

Talk about stalking ha ha
I did buy it , doesn't really matter to me what other people think of it I bought it because I liked it. No harm in that is there ?

This is what is commonly know in the trade as "Nostalgic Junk".. Technically its worthless shite but there's always someone out there stupid enough to buy it.

I like it, poverty spec cars can look great done right. Regardless of how shit they are.
My corsa B was poverty spec but it still looked great

Some right tossers on this forum, and it's allways the ones who seem to own vag crap, why even come on here if you have no interest, fuck off to a relevant forum and wank over your shit there where it's full of other idiots who share the same interest in vag shite as we do in old rusty vauxhalls.

So if you bought a clean car like this dropped a big engine in and threw the Astra gte bits on would you not then have exactly what people do to corsas?
Just a very very clean example of it
