1990 Vauxhall Astra

In 1990 Vauxhall began exporting Astras badged as Opel Kadetts to other European countries from the Ellesmere Port plant, and a leather edition limited edition, also known as the London Edition, was launched with an allocation of around 250 examples sold only through London dealerships. In 1988 Vauxhall's twin camshaft engine, the 20XE known as the red top, had been fitted to the GTE. The 1990 Astra GTE had the red top engine since 1988.
