Because as far as anyone knows that I've spoken to the last limited run of late model MK3 GSi's were all ended on R reg and no one has ever seen another S plate GSi mk3, unless you are talking about Ollie in which case I don't know!

I once saw a white 5 door S-reg mk3 Astra with black steel rims. I think it might have been an ex police car?
It had no badges on it etc. and the steel rims I only ever saw on cop Astras.

Rare in that colour, as mentioned stripes are wrong but they could be done later.

Can see how much lighter that paint is compared to mine now...
I think it was probably built earlier, but not registered/sold till 1998...
They stopped making the purple ones in late 1996.
