Customs ASTRA COUPE AT VILLA D'ESTE CONCOURS

As its presence has been largely ignored by the mainstream 'Classic Car' media, and I haven't posted for a long time, I thought it might be nice to share this shot of the Astra Coupe at last weekend's Villa D'este Concours, on the banks of Lake Como. The Astra looked sensational under the Italian sun.

That was classy in it's time, but it's an aero nightmare today.

 

I know nothing about it so I googled and found these

Wow, that's nice!.... I was expecting to see Pontiacs version of the chevy Vega!

Nope, that was an Astre"
