Hey
I'm tom from Whixall Shropshire. Iv never really had much to do with mk1s but I've always messed about with vauxhalls mainly novas tbh. Iv always fancied building a mk1. So I've recently purchased an ultra rare mk1 astra md ogle edition. Only 5 cars were ever built designed by a bloke called tom Karen the managing director of a company called ogle design and built by Avon coachwork. They planned on building a run of 200 limited edition astra's but it was dropped after the 1st 5 cars due to the £10,000 price tag as aposed to the much cheaper £6500ish price of the gte. They built 2 white, 2 gray and only 1 red car which is the 1 I've purchased. Unfortunately it's in a very sorry state at the mo so I plan on a full ground up restoration. So I'll keep you guys posted
Cheers tom

You need to upload them onto photobucket,
decide which picture you want,
Then on the right side of the page you will see 3 boxes, click on the IMG box and it should say copied.
Then get back on here, right click then press paste, it will transfer the image for you. |

Now that's a great find and probably is going to be worth the 10k figure someone suggested once done of course ☺😎 _________________

Yea that would be nice! It also come with all 5 original alloys which was handy. I think I'd of struggled to track a set down if on 5 sets were ever made _________________ Mk1 astra gte md ogle edition

That's some project you've got there.
Looking forward to the build thread. _________________ "A fine example of how not to build a car..."
