1997 VAUXHALL ASTRA

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at CarFest 2026 on Saturday the 29th of August - Sunday the 30th of August, The Wing, Silverstone Circuit, NN12 8TN.

The Mk3 Astra GSi 16v became one of Vauxhall’s best-known performance hatchbacks of the 1990s, combining sharp styling with lively twin-cam performance and everyday usability

Presented in its original Flame Red with a notably tidy interior, the car has been repainted to a high standard following a glass-out, bare shell restoration and rebuilt using new seals, rubbers, badges, lights and trim clips

Powered by Vauxhall’s 16-valve engine paired with a manual gearbox, the car also benefited from a replacement clutch and brakes around four years ago, covering only around 7,000 miles since

Upgrades include lowered suspension with aftermarket shocks and springs, aftermarket exhaust and 17-inch Bola B10 alloy wheels, whilst the original exhaust, wheels, suspension and stereo accompany the car

Believed originally supplied by B.M.G. Vauxhall in St Albans, the Astra spent eight years in storage before being recommissioned prior to current ownership and is accompanied by a fully documented service history

Offered with original dealer plates, factory components and an extensive history file, this well-maintained Astra GSi Special Edition represents an appealing example for the Performance Vauxhall enthusiast

Offered without reserve
