    Nice car mate.
    I remember my very first car, it was an Ascona C 1.6 diesel, 1982, piss green, 5 door hatch. It was slow, it was noisy, but god was it reliable...

    The wheels look like they came off a Vectra. They look real well on it actually. Nice car to have , something different and you wont see many more of them. Good stuff she looks lovely.

    I drove a 2ltr Vauxhall SRi version a few years ago. Was a very quick car.
    Well done Manta Mad, nice purchase

    They never sold the 2 door Ascona here, though there were a few 1.6's, mostly red with "Sport" or something along the doors.

    Thats a nice car and the 2.0i is actully quite fast by modern 2.0 standards.

    They look like Vectra Turbo wheels.

    I'm not a lover of FWD Opels by any means, but that's a bloody nice car. I never saw a 2-door Ascona C in RHD before. Well done!
