2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.4i 16V Sport 3 Door Hatchback

Description

So, I’ve been keeping this car for a few years now — it’s a 2010 Vauxhall Astra Sport 3-door, 1.4 litre 16v, manual, and it’s actually been sitting in my garage in Lynton, Lynton and Lynmouth. Honestly, it’s one of those cars that looks like it’s straight out of a 90s movie — flame red coachwork, factory sports bodykit, spoiler, black cloth interior. The original owner kept it all the way through, just one lady owner with no previous owners on the logbook. That kind of history means it’s genuinely rare to see something like this these days.

It’s got just 39,000 miles, and it’s been well looked after. Inside and out, it’s still in great shape — no dents, no rust, nothing out of place. The engine’s a real joy to drive — smooth, responsive, and a bit of a snapper when you turn the key. The gearbox is precise, clutch is solid, and the steering and brakes feel sharp without any weird noises or play. Everything inside — the steering wheel, gear knob, windows, mirrors — is still like new.

It’s got all the standard bits: remote central locking (two keys included), aircon, radio with CD player, electric windows and mirrors, multiple airbags, ISOFIX, lowered sports chassis, VXR styling pack, AUX input, alloy wheels — you name it, it’s there.

The MOT runs until the end of March 2026, and it’s been serviced and checked over by a RAC inspector. I’ve got the full V5, HPI clear certificate, service book, manuals, and even 12 months of RAC breakdown cover — plus a 6-month mechanical/electrical warranty (can extend to 3 years).

I’ve also got a bit of a head start on the paperwork — everything’s clean and ready to go. It’s not just a car — it’s a piece of classic style that’s still fun to drive. Whether you’re looking for a first car, something retro, or just a reliable daily driver, this one’s a solid choice.

If you're interested, I can arrange delivery across the UK or even Europe. I’m happy to take part exchanges too.

Just a quick note — there’s a £129.99 admin fee (plus VAT) for the admin side, which is standard.

I’ve got a garage on Chapel Road in Dersingham, and I’m around most days — happy to meet up or just chat over the phone.

Honestly, I’ve only ever driven this one, and it’s been a real joy. If you’ve ever wanted a car that looks cool and drives well without breaking the bank, this might be it.
