I’m 99.9% sure on the Vauxhall Astra estate mk2. But can anyone have a better guess on the green / black / dark car in front. It looks Toyota ish to me. I thought Corolla but I don’t think it is.

Nothing serious. Just a bit of fun.

The Astra is technically an Astra Belmont I believe.
The Toyota? I'm suggesting Carina?

I'll be impressed if someone identifies the red car.

Exactly what I was going to say - I'm no Vauxhall expert but a Belmont is what came to mind? No idea why!

Definitely looks like a Carina...

Belmont was the good looking /sarc huge-booted Astra saloon IIRC

This^

I don't remember the estate being Belmont, just the eye-bruising saloon.

Cheers everyone. I agree re carina. Regarding the red car I have a zoomed out pic. Anyone want to see it and have a few guesses. ?

Red looks similar to Citroen Xantia or possibly a Mazda 323 - the wing mirror of the car in front makes it quite tricky

The Vauxhall Belmont was an Astra with a boot.

So.


Fiat Cinquecento ?, Astra estate. Toyota carina, ????, escort van ?, bmw e30 ? They are my guesses. I’m more certain about the fiat and escort.
