Wheel covers and lack of side strips fit to LS trim level. Any idea since when all versions had this wide boot lid handle? 1986 I believe... In 1985 at least LS and GL had narrow one. Then, here is 1986 registered LS already with wide one, but I would prefer some period picture for confirmation. I have 1986 brochure, but there is no rearviews of the more ordinary versions. -- Last edit: 2015-01-15 16:24:54 |

Maybe with the launch of the saloon version (September 1985)? |

So model 1986 - very possible, but surprisingly it is really hard to collect good "photo documentation" of the early ones. ![]() |

September 1985 is also associated with the same change on Vauxhall's Astra 'base', 'L' and 'SR' models. |

Great - that's a good proof for 1986. -- Last edit: 2015-01-17 21:09:13 |
