Snot green. The colour that simply doesn't age...

[Mr Gav]

It`s worth far more than his Astra ever will be 

[aaronjb]

It's in Brackley. Now who do we know in that neck of the woods that might be interested?

[Gaffers]

My eyes!!!  My eyes!!!!!!   

[Sir Tigger KC]

It's clearly stood the test of time............................ and dubious taste! 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I seem to recall that vauxhall dropped a 2.3 litre lump into one of these back in the late seventies.

2300HS rings a bell.

I believe so.

The reason that car is so expensive is that you will have to pay a premium for the colour. Find another, as we experts say.

If you say so.

At least the correct wheels are driven. One step in the right direction.

That would have been far better with the green velour interior

That would have gone well with the brown stains

I wonder if it's had a respray since "the event"? Remarkably well preserved if not.

Chrysler did this much better; a bright green Sunbeam GLS was all the same colour, green velour trim, dash, doorcards and  carpets. The whole car looked like it had been dipped in pond slime. I'll leave it to your imagination what the brown ones looked like. Red ones were a little hard on the eyes too. And my black one looked like a miner had ordered it.

  Linden Green on the shovit if memory correct
EMD, I know what you mean about the green velour interior, I had a 2.5 Senator A2 in light green mettalic with the green velour inside. You needed sunglasses no matter what the weather in case you turned your head and saw the inside

Correct. 2.3 slant, called the hs then it was evolution'd and became the hsr, better suspension, more power, big flared arches, prepared by dtv at shepreth (blydenstien), etc,etc. Yes albs did have one.
 A car that if I had won on Saturday would be in my garage, along with a 400.

Looks like a Bryant home, thus must have been "in range"

Must have been lethal. The 1250 one would hang the back end out on command. Then again, I'm guessing the HS wasn't on 145 section tyres.

A quick Google throws up 135 BHP.
