The Astra/Kadett entered the Matchbox range as a roadgoing version in red in 1986. It didn't take long for rally liveries to appear, and this one joined the lineup in 1989. It is based on John Welch's rallycross monster which was in fact not a GTE/GSi, but a special prototype called the 4S, designed for Group B rallying. The 4S was killed off at the same time Group B met its demise, so Welch purchased one of the four prototypes to use in the European Rallycross Championship. Now I won't be restoring the car to original. Instead, I'm going down the route of another iconic Astra-based racer. John Cleland's 1989 British Touring Car Championship winning Vauxhall in fact. I tell the story of the Astra/Kadett, Welch's machine, Cleland's victor, and Cleland's career in a jam-packed video!

AWESOMENESS.
Your work is great 👍.
Nice restoration, details and paint job 👍👍👍
Enjoy your narrations on each build!
Great restoration Jason. Those decals really set it off.
Awesome kadett! I've done a couple of those matchbox GSI's too
Back in the day, those 16V GSI's were epic! blisteringly fast
Also known as the Pontiac and Daewoo LeMans/Racer. Another absolutely fantastic job!!
The John Welch Kadett is one of my favorites. Got at least 9 of them, some carded too. Great nice car!
That was my favorite matchbox
Really enjoyed the history lesson.

Brilliant video. Nice commentary as well. Subscribed.
Fantastic!
How wonderful to see how this Opel / Vauxhall was transformed. This was my absolute favorite among Hot Hatches during my upbringing in the 1980s-1990s. Really cool decals you got up to the car. Must be a top 5 ranking among your Restos.
Cool graphics.
Very informative. Great results in your build. I'm hitting that subscribe button! Great work!
A friend of mine of Rome created from a wrecked police Kadett a jewel. A reproduction of DAVID PITCHER Kadett Gte in Esso National Saloons, white with colored stars and start number 69!
... I will treat my jewel better as Pitcher treated his Kadett... That got multiple reshellings... One in 1992 and one in 1994...
I found that car in the US a few weeks ago.
😺👍
