 |

| ANybody know or got a rough idea How Many Mk1 GTE's on the road? and or still exist - I know about 9,200 were built and I don't remember the last time I saw a mk1 Astra on the road let alone a GTE or SR |

i would say only about 75 are in a road legal condition i.e mot`ed etc and even at that figure maybe i`m being a bit optimistic  and then twice as many in various states of repair or disrepair for that matter so roughly 250 to 300 gte`s i reckon still in the u.k
someone did a dvla search a few months ago but it wasn`t very accurate as it only came back with taxed or sorned gte`s and not the ones hidden away undeclared
Y REG is the rariest according to them with under 20 taxed or sorned,mine being one of them
then it was B plate with i think from memory followed by the rest being A plate
edit,just did a search here is the thread where it was discussed a bit

| Definately less than 500 in total, probably in the region of 350 or below I think was the educated guess we came up with |

So say the DVLA - but they do seem to be turning up at an alarming rate

How rare is my Kadett SR? Originally a 1.6, most Kadetts were 1.3's I think.

i would think it will be very rare indeed now with no more than 30 kicking around now at most
jacko probably has the rareist by far not exactly an sr but more or less the same in the form of an EXP i think it`s called and i think it`s a 1.6 aswell,is it jacko?,i`ve never saw another of those kicking around
the club definately has some fookin rare mk1`s now
my prototype/works rally car gte
jacko`s exp
benw`s 3dr kadett gte
bradz 3dr kadett gte
GTEstate`s v plate estate ( the oldest mk1 i know off )
ant b`s 4x4 turbo
etc,etc |

Yeah its an EXP-S, its the same as an SR, i think it was a special they made before the release of the SR...possibly? i've no idea tbh. Its totaly legit tho , i bought the vauxhall brochure off ebay that features it. 
The only difference i've found is the black paint around the doors...
I had never even heard of this model till this one, and I don’t know of another so quite rare I would think
