Happy new car.

sorry for poor pictures. 59,000 mile one lady owner, full history from the garage where i work, £1200. I've spent the last couple of weeks doing it up, but now it drives and looks like new. It needed a full service, front brakes, new exhaust, alloys refurbed and both bumpers painted.

 

Looks spot on, you've done a canny job there. Doesn't look 10 years old.

 

She owned it for 9 years and it was pampered to death, then her son passed his test last year and destroyed the wheels and bumpers. This and the fact it needed some mechanical work made her trade it in. She then bought her son a brand new Corsa. It looks like a new car now(not a 10 year old banger which i suppose it is)

 

but it's a vauxhall astra

 

but its not brown

 

....and the bodywork is by "BERTONE" or Bert One as one of the old boys at work calls them.

 

Hmmm I can't help but think Italian bodywork isn't a great selling point I can still picture a mates Alfasud dissolving before our eyes. Great car mind you!

 

How about Italian "style". Anyhoo have you seen some of the resto threads on here with German bodywork

 

Haha very true!

 

The more i drive it the more i love it. Private plate on now. Was on my vespa but thats now sold. Trip over to Stanhope, north Pennines.
