Since May 2014 i gave my beloved Kadett D to "tragos" ! He has plenty of space in Saloniki and i could not have it here in Athens.
Last time i visited him (Thesaloniki is 500km north of Athens) and i saw my beloved gold Kadett....
It was GREAT that someone took care of it....
I feel like it is mine (Antonis (Tragos) i feel right ???) even though it is far away from me ...
Then i bought an Audi A3 1.6 FSI full of factory bits (all of them!)
It is a pleasure to drive it... but the BUG is still in me!
With this Audi i have driven 10.000 Km since May! ! !
BUT , when i was driving with my "schwartzy" i noticed an abandoned Blue Astra mk1 ... 3 door... Kadett D J 1.2S
I found the owner a 93 (!!!) yo lawyer !I spoke with him and the Kadett is for sale for 300Euros...
IT IS THE BEST SOLID kadett d i ever saw ! Rust in only where paint is missing... and is on in the surface...
I hope middle November the old guy could give me the papers to buy it
PLEASE WISH ME LUCK! ! !
Pictures to come... _________________ Greetings from Greece . . . |

Hi boys ....
The blue one is a 2 door hatchback ! I love cars with 2 doors ! BUT i have found a mint red Kadett D 1.3S berlina !
He is asking for 1500 Euros The car has historical plates and hopefully i will go to see her next Sunday...
Take a look ! ( Greek weather is perfect for old cars , this one is German made as there was a factory producing Astra mk1s in Greece tooo ! )
