Special edition Astras?
has anyone heard about those 100 Special Edition Astras that Vauxhall was prepping for sale? I don't know how they will be made available to the public? They are Astras with a bodykit, sport seats, some fancy stickers/plaques. The mods are done by Triple 8 engineering?

yep ive heard of them.
Theres going to be 100 Astra Coupe Turbo 888's with 17inch alloys, wide arch kit, DTM style rear wing, and front splitter, Sparco seats, alcantara trim, colour coded dash all for £20,995 (in UK). I guess if anyone wants one they have to rush to their local Vauxhall dealer ASAP. |

Sounds like an HSV makeover of same.
Weapon of a car though in standard form. I wonder if they have considered AWD? |

Its not the astras then, but Vx are running a new sports derived division for road cars. |

Copying the HSV concept in Australia, where selected dealers are allowed to sell up-specced Holdens at highly inflated prices in special parts of the dealerships...
Comment removed- if you can't say it decently don't say it at all. Last edited by Bluebottle; 12 Apr 2004 at 08:38. |

If this was started two years ago, is it no the Astra Coupe BTCC replcia we're on about. I guy I know had one. At the end of the day, you've got to say 'it's only a Vauxhall'. For £20K you could get something better. Saying that, I drive an Astra as well.
