The second appearance on the Astra MkII GTE is this sporty hatchback from the 1980s in bright red. Complete with black interior and grey seating with lots of black and chrome exterior trim. Registered E677 GEW from 1987/88 and only produced in its 3-door hatchback format, the 1988 upgrade added a twin-camshaft to the Astra GTE which had a dramatic effect on performance, much to the delight of the young hotrods of the day!
