{"product_id":"1998-vauxhall-astra-mk4-cd","title":"1998 Vauxhall Astra Mk4 CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy 1998 the Astra Mk3 had been holding the baton for 6 years and with Ford developing a new market leader, Vauxhall needed something impressive to keep its customers away from the blue oval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mk4 was the answer, a substantial step forward for the Astra, quieter, safer, nicer to drive than the outgoing mk3 although arguably not as nice in the eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Mk4 is a very VERY early example, registered 5th June 1998 on an R plate and boasting the 1.6 16v mated to a 5-speed manual in CD spec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutside it’s a pretty unassuming old motor, unmarked police car coded, finished in white with plenty of black plastic trim, boasting 15” steel wheels and its original plastic wheeltrims. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside there’s plenty of patterned velour and some peak 90’s wood effect plastic on the centre console and the gearstick. You’ve got electric front windows, electric mirrors and an aftermarket Bluetooth head unit. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngine wise the 1.6 16v is punchy, boasting around 100bhp which is more than enough in a hatchback weighing just over a tonne. The five speed is nice and precise and all in all it’s a much quicker little car than you’d expect it to be. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Astra G has ‘Festival of the Unexceptional’ in its veins, a nicely presented example of a chronically mundane little workhorse in very original and unmolested condition. Parts are still readily available and cheap and returning about 38mpg it’s also a fairly cheap thing to run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTickets will launch on July 28th and the LIVE draw will be on Sunday 6th September 2026 at 8:30pm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e17 TICKETS SOLD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTICKETS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Vann 01\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Tams 02\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChristopher Fairbrother 03\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChristopher Fairbrother 04\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Hood 05\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Hood 06\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Ogier 07\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Ogier 08\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Duckers 09\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eS J Hylands 10\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Shaw 11\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeo Simmons 12\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJack Lang 13\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSean Lynch 14\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003esimon vallis-ridler 15\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJ Fryars 16\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntony Pollard 17\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Craptical Classics","offers":[{"title":"Vauxhall","offer_id":53674818109787,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ferrari","offer_id":53674818142555,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dyson","offer_id":53674818175323,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/3944\/6363\/files\/92F90691-DC4E-49C0-9DA5-9A98A0281AFC.png?v=1785252721","url":"https:\/\/crapticalclassics.myshopify.com\/products\/1998-vauxhall-astra-mk4-cd","provider":"Craptical Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
