My car sold! Now with new car details

Post by **Mike P** » Mon Oct 01, 2007 7:26 am

When starting my parts and literature clear out, I wasn't intending to sell my GTi 16v, but have been offered something else and fancied a change.

Bad news, the new owner collected the car last night

Good news, I got £1500 for it

1988 phase 1 16v with 57k miles on it. On the standard wheels, as I've sold the Gutmann's through the 205 site.

Maybe goes to show that a good car is worth some proper money to somebody who wants one.

£1500? Wow. Congratulations I guess, I'm sure at that sort of money it wont be going to an organlegger.

Tim: It wasn't a long term planned sale I have to admit, just been offered something else. I'm going to second view it this weekend, so will post a picture up after that if I buy it.

Jez: I did have, but the G reg has been scrapped and the E reg sold off cheaply locally but that's still up at the aerodrome in no fit state to move. Glad to hear that you've managed to sell yours.

Rich: It has certainly gone to Citroen man and not a Pugger

Luke,

Was going to contact you re' this and mod responsibilities etc'.

It is a shame really but was offered the money I was after and it's came at the right time for me. I've got a few things going on at the moment and needed the car gone.

The "planned mods" are still in work and should hopefully be retained for my next XU engined beast

Me and Bx16valves still have unfinished issues

Is that an Opel Omega (or whatever you call it over there...)

Post by **Mike P** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 4:21 pm

Ed,

Vauxhall Carlton = Right hand drive car
Opel Omega A = Left hand drive car

The Lotus versions were badged as Carlton and Omega accordingly.

The Vauxhall Omega B replaced the Carlton in England.

Mike, my mate from Loughboroughs just bought a 90 H with 9k, (number 83 I think) on the clock, yes 9 not 90k and its the real deal, but at £19995 it should be, its SO fast but doesnt feel it! Needless to say I dont drive it in the rain.

Tim,

Glad to hear that your mate found a good one.

In a genuine one, the 3rd to 4th gear change is 120mph, but feels like 70mph. Mine does 102 in 3rd, absolute killer for passing things on A roads and slip roads.

Sitting in it you could be in any top spec Cavalier/Senator/Carlton until you engage warpdrive (throttle) then all hell breaks loose!
