When I was an impressionable youf, I fancied:

SD1 - many a happy hour sticking the brochure pages together ::)
MkII Astra GTE - loved it from the moment I saw the first one
KITT


Sadly, only ever owned the middle one, and that was a let down, bit of a ladies car.

I much prefer the old 3 litre Capri to the later 'torque light' 2.8. :y

Did they do the Mk 3 in a 3 litre though?  :-\

Yes, my 3.0S was a MK3.  :y

I saw this exact RS200 in a sports garage when I was 15 and barely slept for weeks, lo and behold it's still with the same owner and I went back to see it in Wigan a few weeks ago, same feeling 23 yrs later and it hasn't been driven since...

Rs200
One of my bro's worked on the redesign to make it road legal, so I had all the original brochures (that couldn't be used due to the changes). Sadly, all lost over various house moves
