The Opel Vauxhall Astra Belmont, a popular compact car produced from 1980 to 1995, represented a significant chapter in the history of both Opel and Vauxhall. Building upon the success of its predecessor, the Kadett, the Astra Belmont embodied a blend of practicality and affordability. The first generation, known as the Mark 1, debuted in 1980 and offered a range of engine options, from fuel-efficient petrol units to larger-capacity diesels. The design was characterized by its boxy, angular lines and a spacious interior. It was a direct competitor to popular models like the Ford Escort and the Volkswagen Golf. The second generation, the Mark 2, arrived in 1984 and brought with it a more aerodynamically refined shape and a wider array of engine choices, including a 1.6-liter turbocharged petrol unit. The Belmont became known for its reliability, ease of maintenance, and relatively low running costs, making it a favorite among both families and commuters.

The Opel Vauxhall Astra Belmont, despite its somewhat conservative styling, provided a comfortable and practical driving experience.
