Fantastic cars! Well fast in the day. My now husband had a sierra cosworth and the GTE wasn't far off it from the lights! I have had a couple. Originally I had an Astra SR with a 1.8i engine (that was written off by some fool doing a uturn in front of us). Then had a 1990 burgandy 16v - same colour as the limited ed one but without all the niceness. Had some TSW wheels put on that. Then up until 4 years ago I had the 1985 red 1.8 gte which was written off when I let a friend use it for a while
I will have to dig out some pics of them ! I nearly bought one in steel grey too, it was owned by a semi-pro snooker player local to me. Had too much wrong with it though. I would love to own one again some day - thing is, they are/were going for quite a sum of money. Will have to see if this recession has brought the prices down!
