hi all,

I've done it!! 

Deal done, and I've bought the black GLS Auto Estate with LPG on fleabay for £625.00.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130618005907?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_911wt_1396

Hopefully I'll pick it up at New Year, the blokes getting it valeted this week so it should look nice when I fetch it.

Now I just need matey guy who's buying my Astra Convertible to come up trumps!

Happy happy!!

Happy driving well done

[Entwood]

Nice one ... hope its a "good 'un" ..

[jonny2112]

Good job 
Hope all goes well 

[Guinney1971]

thanks guys, I'll try and get some pics up in a couple of weeks when I get it.

I didnt expect to buy one so quick, but this seemed to be a reasonable car at a reasonable price, and as its been dropped from £795 to £625, so it seemed worth going for.

Fingers crossed its not a lemon!

You'll need to change your sig then

Good luck.....

Well done, it looks good. Good to see the seller mention about the cambelt change shows he is aware. Maybe worth checking that they changed the tensioners, pulleys AND WATER PUMP at the same time as the cambelt. I didn't

I guess I'll find that out when I get the service history for it.

He's had it valeted today and sent me some new interior pics, its scrubbed up quite well from what I can see.

And yes, deffo time for a new forum sig!

"we've got ten cars" ...... if only 

[adey2]

dread your insurance and tax bill lol

[Guinney1971]

we've got a 'Modern Classics & Motor Trade Policy', costs about £1600 a year, no windscreen excess either    We've had 4 windscreens in the last couple of years, including one on my DeLorean which had to be specially ordered as it has a built in antenna for the radio.

Road tax tho.......... dont get me started........  however, out of the 10, the Omega hasnt arrived yet, 3 cars are restoration projects, my Astra Convertible is about to be sold, which leaves 2 Cavaliers, 2 DeLoreans and the Avantime with tax on, but my De is gonna be SORN'd this month, and the Avi and one of the Cav's run out soon so will probably be SORN'd too until show season comes back round again (one of our Cav's is the last one ever made at Luton - some say its the last decent car the factory ever built!!     ).

How can you be sure about that? Don't you mean one of the last ones made. They were also built in Antwerp and in Germany right upto the summer of '95 - so the only real way to tell is by decoding the VIN.

[Guinney1971]

we have a certificate from Vauxhall, signed by the head honchos, and verified by Ian Coomber and Andrew Duerden stating that our car (inc its chassis number) is the last one produced by Vauxhall Motors Ltd.  Here's a photo of the certificate - anyone spot the blindingly obvious error tho?



Alot of the Euro built Cav's were Vectra-A's.
