The Appeal
Styled by Italian design house Bertone, the convertible version of the 4th generation Astra is a handsome vehicle. The ‘Edition 100’ was created to mark Vauxhall’s centenary and only 1,000 units were ever made. Of those, it appears that fewer than 250 are still on the road.
This lovely example is a fantastic survivor - with just one owner from new and a fine service history, it presents in excellent original condition and also comes with a fresh MOT. If you’re in the market for a practical but stylish modern classic or just want something a bit different to enjoy on sunny days, this would be an excellent choice.
