2055.0. "WANTED: ASTRA CONVERTIBLE TEST DRIVE" by YUPPY::CARTER (Windows on the world...) Wed Mar 31 1993 21:51

    Hi
    
    Does anyone have an Astra Convertible I could test drive for 1hr or
    more?
    
    I am fairly flexible as to where I could go to test drive it... none of
    my local garages seem to have one.  If you know of a Vauxhall dealer
    with one on the forecourt please let me know...
    
    Thanks in advance
    
    
    Christine

	Christine I noticed one in the showroom at Belingers (Grove nr Wantage) on Tuesday, think its been there a while so they may let you try it. They were very helpfull when a friend wanted to try a car. Andy

	I'm sure Spratley's of Mortimer have a 1600 convertable in the show room.The staff there are very helpful,particularly Paul Spratley (the owners son). Andy..

	I am going down past reading/basingstoke next week so I'll give it a go. I have just placed an order - but I'm not too hopeful. My local dealer reckons there are no more 2.0i's in the UK (he checked the computer!) and they've stopped making them... Oh well, fingers crossed... Xtine
