MICHEL ASCONA FRANCE

Do not touch the French heritage! Joke. I prefer to see this Ascona restored by an enthusiast rather than abandoned in France. I wish you many satisfactions during restoration.

Thanks. I think the rims are not from the opel network. As against the rear spoiler is a factory one: T43 code variants on the plate under the hood for "raised rear spoiler". Another point of interest is the rear skirt irmscher. I don't know if it is a fixture at the factory or at the dealer before delivery. Does anyone know ?

Thank you for your review and happy to join your site.

It's a chance for me. You have not brought the Ascona back home!

Thank you. Thank you also for your warm welcome.

The key is to communicate our passions. Grammar and syntax, it is only when we can. Are you referring to "Opel GT" 2-door coupe 60s or "Ascona GT" like mine? The former is easy to find if you have more than 10,000 euros at least. The second is rare with a little mileage and without a rust spot. Often many kilometers. There are also some Ascona GT Sport but only 1,600 cc. Only the name is Sport. I had one (a 2 doors) in 1986!

Nice view but a few things to do to achieve perfection (traces of use on the body). This is not a show car but a daily car. And I love driving in this state rather than keep it under a tarp.

So Ascona 1.8 SR / e are true rarities. Take good care of yours. "Longue vie" to Ascona and Cavalier!

Jan, I saw this car in a classified ad web version "La Vie de l'Auto." In fact the car was in its owner garage, a gentleman of 80 years who was looking for a buyer. But you're right: the Ascona also appeared on the website selling vintage cars you mention. Good observation! Michel

My name is Michel. I'm from South of France and I drive this 2 doors Opel Ascona C 1.8i GT (1986). I bought the car this year in the middle of april. This Ascona is in good condition with only 53.000 kilometers. 10 years without running and a 80 years old last owner can explain... First major test ride with climbing and altitude : col du Montgenèvre 1850 m high
