Default GONE - Broken Down Astra Diesel - GONE
My daily runaround Astra died on me a few weeks ago, it needs a new water pump and a head gasket and as I'm as good with a spanner as a fish with a guitar I've decided that it's time to say goodbye.

Spec.

M Reg
1.7 Merit
Red / Pink / Orange
254K
MOT until end of August 2008
No tax

Manual central locking
Timeless driving experience (no clock)
Conversation inspiring ride (no stereo)
Environmentally friendly windows and mirrors (non electric)
Foot sensitive pedals
Finger sensitive switches
See through glass

It's a pretty economical car to be fair, I had it for just over a year doing over 20K at around 8p a mile.

OFFERS

Any offer welcome. Car must be collected from Colchester, Essex though.

Thanks for looking.

The offer of £50 was from a scrapyard, they're going to collect it too, so it'll be gone in a few days I reckon.
