1988 Timewarp! 3,500 miles from new, yes! 3,500 miles from new... For Sale

On the 29th April 1988 Miss Benger from Wiltshire collected her new Vauxhall Astra 1. 3 Merit estate from Signpost Motors of Trowbridge [Vauxhall Dealers,] paying a total of £7, 443. 58 inc factory option Metallic Neptune Blue paint and etched windows [£64 extra] in the deal was her p/ x, a 1979 'on the T' Hillman Hunter in Bronze.
Who knows, but perhaps the very first song played on the Phillips DN272 AM/ LW digital radio during its inaugeral journey that spring day in April 88 was the number 1 from that week: 'Theme from S-Express by S Express..

For whatever reason Miss Benger didn't use her new Astra very much [!], choosing to store the new car in her garage, sending it for MOT [every April] for 19years before transferring ownership to her neighbour in January 2010 with just 3, 050 recorded miles.
This is [obviously!] a highly unusual vehicle, not least because being dry stored & covering almost no mileage over its previous 35 years, a result of such remarkable care, this Mk2 Astra estate retains incredible originality, practically 'as new' in overall presentation, yet instead of being shut away and forgotten for 30+years, it was MOT'd every year, incrementally increasing its mileage to the current reading of 3, 500 miles. Supplied with the original bill of sale, MOT history, owners book pack & wallet, still displaying its 'Signpost Motors Trowbridge' registration plates, sat on x4 new tyres [replacing the original Michelin MX's!] rarely do genuine 'Timewarp survivor examples' in such fabulous condition come to market. Believed to be 1 of just 36 MK2 Astra estates left on UK road's, this is highly likely to be the lowest mileage example in existence. A truly unique opportunity. The asking price for this rare piece of British Motoring history? Priced at an attractive £1, 000. 00 discount on the new price of: £7, 443. 58 [inc a pre sale inspection, full service, x4 new tyres plus an 04/ 25 MOT certificate - no advisories], this everyman modern-classic will draw an admiring crowd at any event it graces, or perhaps [due to its extreme rarity] its better suited as a museum piece?
