Opel Vectra A, need to see the front. If it has a Holden badge it is 1994-95.

Shot in New Zealand so this is probably the Holden. The front was only visible for a second.

Can you show it? (use the "store pictures on the site" link)

Yep, that is definetly a Vectra, pre-facelift, so it's the Opel version.

The Holden had the post-facelift grille anyway: http://cdn.sella.co.nz/images/thumb/j/w/1/56wjw1-640x500.jpg

:think: So a secondhand import from Japan? Opel was never sold officially in AUS and NZ, those, which appear there, came as used cars from Japan.

Well, according to wikipedia, it was offered as an Opel in New Zealand as a new car before the badges were changed to Holden in 1994, as has been mentioned before.

Opels were offered recently in Australia for a year before it was discontinued in March 2013.

For this example, it could be a Japanese import, but that's very unlikely.

Well, when I had been in NZ in 1998, all Opels, I've seen there (mostly Kadett E Gsi), had been used imports from Japan. I will never forget one sight from the harbour of Auckland: one day all piers were empty, the following day, they were filled with cars, vans, trucks and even cranes, all coming from Japan. And yes, I remember Opels among them.

Well, I get your point. But I just don't think that Opel Vectras were very popular in Japan compared to the domestic competition at the time.

no, they weren't at all. Too expensive, too boring and in the 90ies with big quality-problems, as my Japanese friend has told me.

@gamer: To answer your question: He was there on vacation ca. 2 years ago and is still fascinated all over, that's why he can't stop talking about it. In fact, he even has plans to relocate to North Korea permanently after his retirement... :D

@Gamer: the last Opels, which were officially sold in the USA, were the Ascona A and Manta A.

Thanks to the Youtube-times, now even this extreme rarity is uploaded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7m6clcegY0 A fellow of mine, a hardcore Audi 50/Polo-freak had found over 20 years only one tome the one and only vinyl-record* with that song

*someday I can tell and teach you, what this is, a vinyl record :p

Similar Youtube-successes I had personally, too ;) No kidding, for 9 years, when I heard this song the first (and only!) time, I looked for a recording, until it was uploaded at YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKKbGuaxcvI
Even more years I had to wait for the favourite versions of my favourite intros of two of my favourite movies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qy5sWCFokM (with the bckground sounds!) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G2Hc8Ns3tA (only for the German dubbing!) :)
But why I explain that to computerkids like you... :p

Yes, cl82 is widely right. I will not emigrate to the DPRK, but indeed I would like to travel there again. Before I would make vacations in East Germany or "mainstream-destinations as Mallorca, Turkey, Rimini (sorry walter ;) ) or Benidorm (sorry vilero ;) ), I would for sure go again there.

@Gag: thanks for the links :) I already noticed them, because the maker is one of the hardcore-public-transportation-fetishists in Germany. My DPRK-travelling companion is that society, too. Me not. It's not my real interest - and the freaks there are really really hardcore freaky, very strange nerds among them (being at IMCDb is much more delightful :) ) For that reason we both haven't posted pics in their forum (I made my registration there just for short comments about Northkorea), because some fellows there usually became hysterical mad, when pics are technically not 100% perfect.
Although those nerds there know everything about any train, tram or any other railway line on the world, I really could make them slightly hysterical: with my comment, that the narrow gauge railway in Hamhung downtown is still in process and transports also goods as passengers :D

No, not any more. This is an outdated rumour. Since Junior Kim is the chieftain, many things have changed, also the lighting at night (a few pics here: https://imageshack.com/my/images/44 ). The times are gone, when the red light on top of the Juche-tower https://imageshack.com/i/9eimg2112lj was the only light at night in Pyongyang.

P.S.For coming slighty back on topic, I must admit, that there is no relation between the DPRK and the car here: I haven't spotted any Opel over there ;) And in Japan, where I'd been in 2003 neither. Only an Opel-salesman (a fellow of my friend in Yokohama). A very unsatisfied guy. He had nothing to do and his office was in the basement of a parking garage in Tokyo. According the popularity of Opel in Japan - as he said himself :lol:

The Opel Kadetts and Monzas were sold new here. My mum worked at a Holden dealer when they were new. The first Vectras in NZ were badged as Opels, then from mid 90's? badged as Holdens.

Ah, thanks for the intersting informations. But some Opels were imported from Japan. So I saw some Kadett GSi among the masses of used JDM-imports on hte pier of Auckland.
