Summer 1986. Dad bought a brand new jet black GTE. Electronic dash, 100mph+ black, I felt like Knight Rider sat in it. First car I was ever in going over 100mph. Great car.

Makes me sick thinking of all the 205 GTI's, Escort RS Turbo's, Astra GTE 16v's, and Cavalier Turbo's I've owned in the past. They fetch such strong money these days.

If this GTE was the 16v then it might have got closer to the 20k they were looking for.

B Reg's 16v were rocket ships. The car thieves favourite back in the day.

I had a gold opel manta gte coupe. One of the best cars i've ever had. Sold it for a song and a dance for a grand in 1996 I always like the vauxhall's and opels Like to see this astra get back on the road.

I had a MK2 Golf GTI 16V but I loved the digital dash in the GTE...which in my humble opinion is still better than the digital dashboards of today which I largely despise.

When I passed my test at age 17, I was given a mk2 Astra for free by my collage tutor. It was a 1.2 4speed banger. Not long after, I blew the engine and started looking for a replacement. I went to the scrap yard for some bits and saw a GTE with no engine. I bought the kit (front and rear bumpers, spoiler, grille, skirts etc) for just £50!! I then found a crash damaged Astra with a 1.3 engine which I bought for £20 from a friend. Took the engine out the £20 car and put it in mine then fitted the GTE kit. Sold the gearbox and some other bits from the donor car and scrapped the shell for £60. Overall, I made £130. Gave my mate £50 for all his help. So I then had a GTE lookalike that ran well and was £10 up from the whole thing 😁 Not bad for a 17 year old 23 years ago!

The 1.8 revved up so much better and felt faster than the 2 litre, the long stroke slowed the engine. The 16v was the one to have, I owned all 3 versions over the 80's and 90,s . May fav was the C reg 1.8, it was just so nice at the time.

Prefer the earlier Mk1, it had the classic 80's boxy shape. All that work, totalling over 20 grand, and it's only worth 15 grand. It goes to show, cars like these are a labour of love and will never make a profit. Yet a Mk1 Escort RS which you could have bought for peanuts a few years ago, can be worth 50 to 60 grand for a concourse example.

An old work mate had a 2.0 16v GTE in a deep metallic red / maroon colour, full black leather mint condition lovely car in the late 1990s, I remember seeing 135mph on the digital dash during one spirited lunch time drive to the pub, unfortunately he smashed it into someone and it went in for repair. Strangely within a week of it coming back from repair it disappeared from his drive way overnight even with some top security never to be seen again. He picked up a 205 GTI as a replacement but that was miles beneath the GTE.
