A 1984 2.0 Carlton CD spec in red :P Loved the car, hated the colour :(
Very comfy, good on fuel & quite reliable, except for tapping the starter with a hammer once in a while ;D ;D

A MK1 Astra GTE in black and red. The red was red lead to try and stop the car from rusting, the previous owner was seeing a married woman and the husband found out ::)

I had put a post on here about 80's cars, which I mentioned my Mk1 Astra GTE. That was my first Vauxhall. Also it was my first car that ran on Unleaded fuel. 8-)

Crappy Astra Belomont (MkII). 1.8GLSi.  Didn't do corners, but bugger me, went like the clappers in a straight line. On the 1st engine, anyway ::)

First one was a viva (TRX194G) brand new company car picked it up in London to drive back to Nottingham, nearly home when the gear lever came out of the floor in my hand.
Apart from that it was not a bad little car.

A RWD 1.6GL Cavalier in sky blue with a blue vinyl roof and registered TNY 444S.
Flat as a pancake performance-wise.

Second car I owned and first Vauxhall was a Viva, as in the pic below, white.
The third car I owned was another Vauxhall, this time a Victor.
 As below but colour was metallic green with a beige vinyl roof.
