"You won’t find a newer car than this—despite being 28 years old. Everything is in fantastic condition. Even the factory wax is still intact on the underside."

Description

A truly unique car when it comes to mileage. According to hearsay, it was purchased by a couple in October 1997. It was driven only a few miles before being taken off the road in September 1997. Since then, it remained unused and uninspected until May 25, 2020.

The current owner took over the car in April 2025. Upon recommissioning, the following work was carried out:
– Oil changes
– Timing belt replacement
– Brake system check
– Full detailing

For the extremely sharp-eyed, you might spot the occasional polishable scratch or possibly a stone chip—that’s it.
The car even retains its new car smell. Truly fascinating.

New roof bars are included.
Unfortunately, no documentation is available as the car comes from an estate.
Original spare wheel and jack are present, along with two keys.

Facts about the model

The 1997 Opel Astra Estate is a model developed by the German car manufacturer Opel. The Astra G series was launched in late 1997 and was designed to compete with models like the Ford Escort and Volkswagen Golf. This car came in several variants, including a 1.6 16V engine capable of accelerating from 0–60 mph in 10.1 seconds and 0–100 km/h in 11 seconds. Another version, the 1.7 D, offered slower performance, reaching 0–60 mph in 15.3 seconds and 0–100 km/h in 16.4 seconds.

The Astra F, representing the previous generation, had a long production run and remained popular during the transition to the Astra G. Between 1936 and 2015, over 24 million Opel estate cars were sold under the Kadett and Astra nameplates—proof of the model’s durability and popularity. The Astra continues to be a key part of Opel’s lineup.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
