well you learn something new everyday.. ;D and me telling everyone it was an 84 A! HA HA also when i went to get the sump they were saying there are 2 variations is that right? surely it was just the one and im sure it was the same engine as i had in the astra gte reg B201 JMO..also has anyone in the club got the same model as my first one ? i would love to see pics of one again..mine had the checked interior
