A short history of the car from Richard:

few details about my car:

in 1992 an british lecturer living in france bought it new,
then on his return to the uk he liked it so brought it back with him in 1996.
do not know the reason why he sold it on
but was bought by a guy in gloucestershire for his wife to run about in.
I ended up with it as the guys wife could not get on with it being LHD.
It did have both france and uk dealer service history
since i have owned it i have kept the service up myself
i have done a few subtle mods to it which include r100 rear lights,
r100 colour coded number plate light plinth,
14" qualifiers and fitted the half leather found in the se.
the car came as standard with electric windows and has no sunroof
and still has its original rear arches .
also has opening rear quarters
It has never been welded .


The view of the car as seen from an Astra :lol:
